Just yesterday we saw that Honda is planning a fuel cell motorcycle and now they announce the HondaJet. They must have one neat laboratory and R&D budget. They're making all sorts of new advances with auto engines, too.
The HondaJet will be unveilled at the Oshkosh fly-in in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on July 28th. (That, by the way, is the best exhibition of aircraft anywhere. Homebuilts, Warbirds, Vintage, everything.) According to Honda, the jet will improve fuel efficiency by 40%. That's a huge improvement. According to Honda:

Yeah right . . . Honda doesn’t do anything without a plan. And that plan is backed up with financial projections, focus groups, and very smart people allocating their R&D budget. THey have a plan, they just don’t want to tell the competition what it is yet.
