One of the most fascinating occurrences of the past few decades was watching the birth of a new aircraft manufacturer, Honda Aircraft. One of the most difficult challenges in aerospace is building a new clean-sheet airframe and clean-sheet engine, and Honda Aircraft has successfully achieved that. Here is the behind-the-scenes account not only of the first flight of the HondaJet prototype but how the program almost didn't survive. Also, please click on the video link to see rare footage from the first flight. Thanks to Honda Aircraft for sharing the raw video and arranging interviews. https://lnkd.in/g8H39bUt
