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

One of the most distinctive features of the HondaJet is its innovative Over-The-Wing Engine Mount (OTWEM) configuration. Unlike traditional aircraft with engines mounted on the fuselage or wings, the HondaJet's engines are mounted above the wing. This design reduces drag, improves aerodynamic efficiency, and enhances fuel efficiency, resulting in better performance and increased range.

Soon after receiving FAA type certification, the first #HondaJet was delivered to a customer in 2015. The HondaJet is the world’s most advanced light jet, with revolutionary technology and design innovations —including the Over-The-Wing Engine Mount design— that help it achieve the highest speed, superior fuel efficiency, and a more spacious cabin over conventional aircraft in its class. "Instead of aluminum, the HondaJet employs a composite fuselage which is lighter and stronger. The upper and lower wing skins are each milled from a solid aluminum block to produce a seamless drag free surface. Another striking feature on the HondaJet is the location of the engines, which are mounted on top of the wings rather than to the fuselage." "Honda Aircraft work directly with Garmin to develop and customize the G3000 avionics suite to maximize the operational benefits for the pilot. This next generation all-glass system brings the pilot and aircraft closer with touch screen technology." #firstofthefirst #thepowerofdreams #howwemoveyou

Following the first flight of Honda's proof-of-concept aircraft, and announcement of #HondaJet commercialization, Honda Aircraft Company developed an aircraft design suitable for production, and began years of extensive testing using multiple test aircraft. Thorough data was gathered on aircraft performance and safety, aimed at proving the airworthiness of the HondaJet in order to receive type certification from the FAA. "We did a progression — we did engine runs and we did avionics tests and we did taxi tests. We had the airplane up to 43,000 feet and out to 425 knots and we did a lot of testing on that over a couple of years." "We do the strength and durability testing. We do everything from subcomponents, all the way up to the full scale test article. Things like cold weather, field performance, crosswinds... high risk or just difficult tests, those once we get them behind us, everyone is a little more excited [that] we're one step closer to certification." #thepowerofdreams #howwemoveyou #firstofthefirst
