Honda has been working on getting a Business Jet to market for almost 20 years. They finally received a FAA production certificate.
Sounds a bit odd though..... :rofl2:

Nice airplane. Common thinking is that its just the beginning. Given Honda's rep, I think they'll be a player for a long time.
I remember seeing the mock-up at the NBAA Nat'l Convention about ten years or more back.
Long hard road to get an entirely new type through certification.
