Flying the New HondaJet - AIN

[@madisonareadroneservice5605]

Having seen this jet in person at EAA in Oshkosh, WI this year (2016), I can say it was one of my favorite planes there (second in line behind the P-51 mustang, which there were plenty there this year!). Honda has done an amazing job. Looking right at that jet definitely gives me a life goal - I can only hope some day I could experience what it would be like to own that. The sheer amount of engineering they had to accomplish in such a short amount of time is astounding. Bravo, Honda.

[@scottyd8]

The upscale model is called the Acura jet.

[@samuelcarpenter2004]

I live in Greensboro and love PTI, I see honda jets so much, they are so amazing!

[@flyguy5941]

I have been watching Honda's progress on this jet. I have been flying since 1991 and can't wait to get my hands on this plane!

[@williamhines537]

Love this plane, if I ever get rich I want one of these and I want to learn to fly it myself.

[@dustinleonsky4513]

Same here. My 2000 Honda CR-V EX has almost 280K miles, and it's still RUNNING and DRIVING just as good when it was brand new.

[@spensert4933]

Amazing plane. But wow, scintillating narration! Really feels like being there! Taste the excitement!

[@rjmj7725]

i got a high !!! ...... really high !!

[@modelcitizen72]

I bet you're a Newhart fan.

[@rjmj7725]

im an anything fan !!!

[@bobbyshah5743]

LOL perfect....

[@rjmj7725]

Bobby Shah ... is your name pronounce boobie ?? or baabye ??

[@StellarBlue1]

I wonder how much HondaJet will give me for my Honda Accord on a trade in.

[@goodday3023]

And you're taking massive risk here.

[@RealStuntPanda]

I love the cockpit interior. Honda's experience with automobile interiors really helped them out on this one. It looks like a high end car instead of the typical functional but inelegant cockpit of most aircraft. You can tell it was designed instead of engineered.

[@m4rs12]

But...does it have VTEC?

[@jungleape]

no, but it has cup holders.....

[@BlackWarriorLures]

43,000 ft? Initial climb rate of 3,000 ft per minute? VTEC was definitely kicking, yo. Two engines = VTEC x2.

[@10kanojias]

no VTEC in this aircraft

[@BlackWarriorLures]

hehe! It was a joke.

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

Only a piston-engined prop plane could have vtec.

[@pdid44569]

You didn't tell us what it was like when the V-Tec kicked in

[@MurfDawgSC]

you win lol

[@youmongrel]

Some part of the cabin started rattling but goddam if you can find it without crashing.

[@gjmob]

I want one with a 3 foot chrome tailpipe, a doof doof stereo and a shopping list on the side.

[@novachannel1981]

waiting for someone to rice one of these babys out lol

[@RyanLestage]

When they gunna put another wing on their wings

[@ryanh6001]

Ford better not make a MustangJet.

[@MrCasquenoir]

Already done...but by Cessna.

[@Liam40]

We don't want the mustangjet owner to slip it sideways, then take out a crowd of people.

[@naybobdenod]

Thanks Ryan for making me laugh :)

[@rjmj7725]

Seriously ryan....... that made me burst out in laughter...... was a good joke !! cheers !!

[@723lion]

Ryan H oh man good luck with that...

[@joetron5114]

Needs to be lowered an inch. a spoiler, and loud exhaust.

[@MegaGuitarpicker]

What a beautiful jet! Honda makes great products!

[@650ib]

This is an amazing video! It makes me want to learn to fly the Honda jet!

[@perberge]

What a wonderfull time we live in when it comes to aviation evolution. ;)

[@GSOaviator]

I've flown near these things a few times, being based in GSO. Beautiful aircraft. I also work at a CFA near the airport where a bunch of Honda mechanics and engineers come in and we get talking about their work sometimes. Very cool, hard working bunch of people with an amazing aircraft! It'd be a dream come true to be able to get to fly in, let alone fly this beautiful aircraft. Someday :)

[@reaality3860]

Honda Jet may do to the American aviation industry what the Honda automobile did to the American auto industry. In the long run it will become more competitive.

[@christianwetzel2199]

as far is i know honda is producing the jet in Greensboro, NC

[@tropicaltree2460]

Honda versus Boeing and Airbus? It's possible but I doubt that'll happen.

[@whiteribbonman1]

+Rea Ality As a loyal American, AND PATRIOTIC veteran, *I* will ALWAYS prefer my 1961 Chevrolet Apache & 1975 Ford Gran Torino to anything any Japanese or Korean auto maker can put on American highways / Interstates. There ARE Americans that do not care. I do. No Japanese electronic parts to leave me stranded. No on - board computer stuff to fail.

[@madisonareadroneservice5605]

I can understand the patriotic pride, but in all reality the "imports" are essentially the new domestics. A high majority of the popular "import" vehicles now contain a higher american parts percentage than most domestics. Add to that, most are assembled right here in the USA by guys like you and me. If you want to support America, buy a Honda or a Toyota. Forget about a Mexican / Chinese Chevrolet. I will also say, that with my experience as a Master ASE certified technician, the quality of the "import" brands typically far exceed the majority of the domestics (although I do feel Ford in particular is doing an excellent job).

[@reaality3860]

Chad B...From my experience, Japanese society, arguably, shows the most honorable people on Earth.

[@whiteribbonman1]

The more videos I watch of people piloting private aircraft the more I want to be in that world. Thank you for uploading this.

[@manos3790]

Its a very costly world, similar to boats/yachts. I gave it a go 5yrs ago and regret the colossal waste of money involved. Helicopters are more of a buzz, but even more costly to run/charter and gain a license for.

[@AmorilV]

Very true, it does cost a good amount of money to get a license, even just for single engine land VFR. However for the experience & skills I now have it was a price I gladly paid. If you want to learn how to fly you should go try it, many schools offer a free 30 minute flight to see if it's something you might like.

[@whiteribbonman1]

+manos3790 I have a good friend that is a private pilot, a Commercial Airline pilot & holds an Instructor certification. I have to agree with him since I hold a Class A license with all endorsements (THAT was costly to gain). . . . . . . .it's either in your blood & you love it, or the person is like you and all they see is the expense. No offense bloke but you did not gain it because YOU wanted the thrill & to be above the clouds, you did it for some other reason. I flew quite a bit years ago, as a passenger. Now I want to drive. It's beautiful up there. No speed limits either. 😀

[@whiteribbonman1]

+AmorilV I have a good friend that has offered to school me into being a solo pilot. Thank You for the encouragement. 👍

[@manos3790]

+whiteribbonman1 I've a friend who had very similar aviation certs and it was he who told me to knock-it-on- the-head. He was 42 at the time and claimed, or unless you're an up and coming youngster? The airlines don't want to know you. He'd spent at least £15-20,000 on lessons/certification without any fruition. He's a bright, educated, slim, approachable dude, but this wasn't enough......Ageism is to blame, unfortunately.

[@hollowpointbullet1677]

What do y’all expect it’s the BEST, HONDA!!

[@chaleco82]

This jet is American technology. Do your own investigation.

[@MusicWorld-zy6dl]

Ive been a Honda car owner 21 years had a Civic and then an Accord. In 21 years both cars never broke down, unbelievable reliability...wouldnt be surprised if the same reliability stats apply to Hondajet.

[@ferrari884]

It even comes with a sweet spoiler.

[@michaeltutnichts-zursache8258]

Eine bildschöne Maschine, die ich in EDDV auch schon live sehen durfte. Ein Mitflug darin wäre ein absoluter Traum!

[@allamerican7830]

Will last forever. You'll never see a ford or Chevy flying in the sky. Only honda could pull this off.

[@markmnorcal]

Toyota?

[@allamerican7830]

Ehh maybe. They could possibly

[@RobPennefather]

Mitsubishi made the Zero.

[@ACitizenOfOurWorld]

BMWs were flying as well before they were prohibited from making aircraft after the world wars.

[@RobPennefather]

Don't forget that Rolls Royce makes engines for a couple of aeroplanes.

[@root9065]

Excellent video, thank you for the beautiful, coherent narration. Kept the door open for the information.

[@THEfromkentucky]

Wow, same price and passenger count as a Socata TBM 900. 20% shorter range, but 27% faster with a comparable payload. That's pretty compelling for a regional business jet.

[@THEfromkentucky]

Socata TBMs are powered by Turboprops, not Turbojets. I compared them because they're in the same price range.

[@appleglory]

The tbm would have lower fuelburn and better STOL

[@THEfromkentucky]

It would, but that's usually not a concern for private jet flyers.

[@Lancaster604]

It also has a toilet which most small business jets don't.

[@THEfromkentucky]

Brian LO Sure, but can I still access reddit and KZbin while using that bathroom?

[@chrisbiz1554]

I don't care about all the VTEC fuss! This is a cool looking little plane that evokes a lot of pleasure to fly. A lot of work has gone into this aircraft and that inspires confidence and admiration!

[@Bobbybeb]

Is this the new civic?

[@orgami100]

Entry-level flying car like it's been promised from the 50s

[@ALSPEHEIR]

But where is the anti-gravity cars they promissed us for so long?

[@orgami100]

The wall size flat screen TV the computer watches are here, the anti-gravity cars couldn't be far behind. .

[@orgami100]

Unless you've got them ornery critters tied up on the Hitching Post they'll keep on floating away.

[@JasonPutt]

no its not a civic, it doesnt come with factory installed rust :D

[@weirdshibainu]

thanks for the review...very thoughtful design and engineering

[@tkpenalty]

So when's the HondaJet Civic Type R coming out?

[@benz500r]

Very nice and lightweight jet. Its a superb alternative to small engine dual prop planes. I have NOT flown one yet, but the plane looks very promising. Cool video.

[@SLTravel11]

One day my dream is to have my own small plane and fly high above the clouds and stay there forever.

[@DanielSadjadian]

I also love the idea of buying a small plane but.... what if one day something goes wrong and you crash, arnt you afraid of that?

[@JZ7662]

the view, WORTH IT!

[@RussellD11]

lol, your dream is called Death :P

[@mikewest712]

Just drop acid, way cheaper.

[@mikewest712]

I am rather wild for a preacher.

[@AZdirtdog]

I saw the other video with the muffler cut off and a giant chrome fart can sticking out the back

[@RealLifeEddy2K]

wait until the VTEC though.

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

Jets don't need VTEC.

[@RealLifeEddy2K]

Ellenor Malik then it s not possible for them to go fast!

[@FFM0594]

....but it helps!

[@FFM0594]

The R!

[@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248]

Narrator put me to sleep by 1:30 ... did everyone make it home ok?

[@toshawebster6523]

This is definitely one of my dream jet a few years ago I used to watch videos & interviews about this jet I just love everything about it 😇🙏💯💛😃🤩⏳✈️🛩️

[@NoGoodHandlesComingToMind]

Great video with fantastic narration. Thanks for posting!

[@thetruth6665]

This guys sounds so excited about the demo. you can hear it in his voice

[@hennietraut8012]

Wow!!!! ❤️ love it the Honda jet looks awesome I am a pilot myself and would love to own one 👏👏👏👏👏✈️✈️✈️👩‍✈️

[@xevious2501]

So cool to see the final product, haven seen the prototype in St pete Florida back in 05. I knew it would be a success. best of all it actually has a bathroom! amazing for its size. And at 422mph, it has incredible range. granted worst case scenario you may need to do 1 hop cross cross country ny to la.

[@shoominati23]

God, I saw the prototype of this back in like 2006

[@rjmj7725]

Honda know what they are doing....... ever heard of a learjet car ?? no right ...... still they make learjets dont they .... ..... likewise, private jet market is huge !!!

[@shoominati23]

I bet they will bring out a larger 600 model later on in the game.

[@modelcitizen72]

Soichiro was mad at them for taking front dual wishbone suspension out of the Civic. The execs know that Soichiro would haunt them by reengineering their genitalia to work upside down only.

[@modelcitizen72]

It will say 600 but it will actually be a twin-turbo 4.5, alas.

[@ChrisCoombes]

Thanks for the video and also explaining in the description the reasons for the engine location.

[@MoneyMcNast]

the only words i understood in all that was honda and jet

[@afaaqusilly]

it's ok, keep at it and you'll understand everything

[@NicholasWhiteley]

They are very easy words to understand, you just need to understand their meanings

[@cameront3768]

What? No fart cans? This is not a true ricer...😩

[@MusicWorld-zy6dl]

Honda = legendary reliability, so all we need to know is Honda.

[@grahamh9788]

MoneyMcNasty just combine them and youve figured out the first step

[@GarryFishermusic]

Thanks for your new video I appreciate the closer look at the twin jet vs the single .

[@v12kid]

How is the view off the nose? The console looks a bit high or is that just the camera angle?

[@BillDownhill]

Just a hypothesis, but it seems to have that sport car feel. Larger interior consoles for better information viewing, while the exterior slopes enough to give you an unobstructed view. It’s not like a single engine plane where you see the entire cowling while you look down at tiny indicators and a personal tablet on the yoke.

[@enyaw1948]

I'm going to get one for my short hops from Burlington Vt. To Boston Ma. It will sure beat that heavy traffic on I-93

[@2thePtBassTuT]

Very descriptive , but I can't believe I didn't hear the jet at all... It was like watching a motorcycle race while listening to Justin Bieber ...(it's just not right..)

[@whiteribbonman1]

+2thePtBassTuT I thought we did not hear the aircraft for the same reason we did not hear any comm between pilot & tower. . . . . . .he narrated post - flight.

[@robertleejameswelch8383]

Wow. I truly envy that experience. Good for him.

[@AlbanianGirl28]

Is this type r model?

[@tclayton2k]

That approach is almost directly over my apartment!

[@curtisparidisshow]

We need a buggatti jet!

[@basilishellas7291]

[@zizimugen4470]

That looks like it's a beautiful ride.

[@LucasFernandez-fk8se]

Aww it's so cute and tiny

[@EVAUnit4A]

Huh, the engines are mounted on pylons _above_ the wings rather than directly to the fuselage. I wonder why that is...?

[@tomeverett2212]

They did that for noise in cabin reduction

[@smaze1782]

Pretty much a dream plane for 99% of pilots out there. just an incredible platform. I'll continue dreaming ;)

[@petroskefallinos8735]

Ok, ill buy a couple!

[@randygreen7871]

What a beautiful jet! Hats off to Honda.

[@TruckerGuy135]

The cockpit looks like a car from some angles

[@Folker46590]

But it looks so cramped.

[@FFM0594]

It is cramped but for flying from one city to the next it does me fine!

[@markmnorcal]

The dash tho

[@TruckerGuy135]

damn chill mate

[@modelcitizen72]

No more so than an Integra GSR, so it's fine.

[@mreis221]

[@whiteribbonman1]

Oh yeah Aviation, in case you care, I DID subscribe (& select the bell) straight away after my first viewing. You're my first aviation channel subscription.

[@michaelwni]

looks great.. only problem is i live in Hawaii and this jet won't even get me half way back to the mainland

[@RaoulThomas007]

Unless you can hit the flight deck of a carrier!

[@michaelwni]

true true, I'll be sure to order a honda jet with a tail hook and launch bar!

[@rjmj7725]

michaelwni ... or just use uber ....

[@DoctorShocktor]

michaelwni True, but flying to and from Hawaii is boring. The Honda Jet is perfect for island hopping though. Easily ferried over from the mainland with internal ferry tanks, or just shipped.

[@DoubleGauss]

Just what I was going to say. When you want to get to the mainland, board a real airplane. Keep the airborne Civic for island hopping.

[@marcatteberry1361]

Saw one the other day, landing at Moffett Field, Mountain View, Ca (Between San Francisco and San Jose.) Weird looking!

[@amargagaming-walktroughtra3181]

Are those twin engines DOHC VTEC? :D

[@dranzergigs8333]

Well since there are no valves and cams on a jet engine so no DOHC and VTEC 😜

[@whiteribbonman1]

LOOK at that VIEW at about 2:59! Are you allowed to fly solo at that altitude? To be able to be up there, with all of humanity below me still in its self-brought turmoil, seems amazing.

[@princemichael03]

I like this jet, am gonna by on in Jan 2019

[@Eddy3389]

Nice going Honda! Your founder would never have guessed that his name would one day be on an exec jet!

[@HungryGuyStories]

Can it be configured with a bed/sofa on one side and a galley on the other (like a tiny motorhome) instead of as an executive jet? I.e., suppose some rich guy wanted one as a personal private plane for vacationing...

[@hingholo8027]

but then v-tec kicks in

[@modelcitizen72]

That's the LX. The EX with vtec comes out this summer.

[@hingholo8027]

[@garybullwinkle6784]

I think I'd rather race my tractor at the tractor pull!! More fun for the money; a lot safer too!!

[@stanpatterson5033]

[@robertwallace6492]

Very nice video, thanks so very much for sharing your amazing HondaJet flight experience. 😎🙂😉

[@bobanderson7165]

It looks a bit unconventional, but that would be because it is! I mean it is a Honda! Nice looking aircraft.

[@addicz2]

You are right. Because its Honda. They are always take the hardest routes.

[@BillDownhill]

Engines mounted on the fuselage cause drag. It's air pressure that builds up between the two. That's why newer small jets have depressions in the fuselage where the engine is mounted. It gives more room for that air to move. Wing mounting the engines on long supports likely eliminated that type of drag entirely. The only unconventional thing here is that they're top mounted engines. But that's fine since they're well above and behind the wing.

[@fr-tigerfangs7039]

If you look at the aircraft configuration more closely, you'll see that yes, it's unconventional, but: 1/ it's by no means a real first (the VFW614 also had a similar, upper wing-installed engines); 2/ it's brilliant! Engine pylons are shaped backward so that the wings themselves protect the nacelle's air intake from absorbing ground debris during TO/landing phases. Also, the wings block some of the engine noise, a plus for airport neighbours. And engines are positioned sufficiently aft of the wing to not block the view outside for aircraft passengers. Brilliant.

[@__sir7557]

Does it come equipped with a Variable Turbo fan-to jet bypass and Lift Electronic Control

[@sidharthshivappa1359]

My Cbr 1000 rr is a hondajet on road !!

[@timohara4077]

from Lawn mowers to cars, I believe in Honda , best engineering I have seen in my life, they are the best, cheaper parts to fix your things than American, reasonable and dependable.

[@HalfLifeAMD]

the interior looks like a civic.....

[@klj2382]

Come on man, give it some credit. It looks more like an accord..

[@BlackWarriorLures]

Wow! The nacelles are mounted vertically on the wings? Man, this looks like a contender.

[@jurislecompte]

Went to the comments section for some vtec jokes. Wasn't disappointed hahaha

[@wrdominicas]

impressive now the question is does it have vtec and when does it kick in

[@georgeboyd2774]

I should have been a pilot!

[@ChrisJohnson2K]

Lol. This thing costs $4.5M, so you'd have to be hired to fly it. Even so, from 0 flight hours to ATP license costs $75k, and another 11-15 years of airline experience before they'd pull you to fly one of these bad boys.

[@regil93]

´4.5 is not that much money

[@Mamo878]

Sure it is. Plenty of excellent used light jets around that cost half or less than that.

[@598133]

+ChrisJohnson2K Thats if he goes to a Part 141 school, now if he goes to a Part 91 school its gonna be a fraction of that cost depending on where he lives. Don't try toturn people away from aviation by throwing big numbers at them. Instead ask them to find a local airport and talk to the FBO there about flying lessons. We already have dwindling numbers as it is.

[@jamesdunn3864]

I'm really curious about one characteristic of this jet. Given that the engines are mounted on top of and not below the wings, does the nose pitch up or down when full power is applied? If the nose pitches down, this could make applying TOGA quite a problem, e.g. if someone had miscalculated the Flex setting or whatever.

[@Nudnik1]
