HondaJet private jet review | British GQ

[@bboardd]

I'm pretty sure winglets are not used to generate lift but are used to reduce wingtip vortices.

[@timkiwi]

correct

[@snijdertkswr]

Thank you was waiting for someone to comment

[@rodrigo7097]

It's a bit of both.

[@bboardd]

I don't understand why it would add lift though.

[@jdmdecal]

Reducing vortices also adds better lift performance but mostly noticed when trying to land (greater tendency to float lol) . In theory the winglet is adding more surface area for the air to work with.

[@dr.spectre9697]

I was privileged to fly on board one of these beauties when I was in Osaka. She really is a beauty and is beautifully made. That good old Honda reliability!

[@johnsmith-gt3po]

You're lucky. 👍😂

[@PalakSapra]

I'm done xD

[@minibus1351]

I know these Honda Jets are relatively new to the market but just the name Honda instills a notion of reliability and thus I imagine will sell well.

[@mziwendukuntsele671]

I think so too.

[@akadanielmaia]

You better talk to Alonso

[@maharathy]

Ask McLaren,😂

[@mziwendukuntsele671]

Isn't the engine supplied by General Electrics for this aircraft?

[@raywei8472]

Honda and reliability shouldn't be used in the same sentence

[@josephburton92]

Fully customizable too, you can put chrome rims , tinted windows. Don’t forget Subwoofers

[@nealparry]

[@saxopio6280]

LOL

[@ARTDEVGRU247]

haha what?

[@xevious2501]

Ive followed the development of the HondaJet from way back in 2003, when they showcased a demonstration model at the festivals of speed in St. Petersburg Florida. Right from the jump standing their face to face with its brilliance it was clear to see what a game changer the aircraft would mean for the Private Jet industry. And when you really consider what your getting for its price of 5 million, that's really peanuts in todays world when many folks are spending that on small boats and sports cars. Ironically the demo Honda Jet was in fact placed in the Boat and Yacht pavilion of the show. Knowing full well where the money was at. But it is when you consider what the aircraft provides that you truly understand why its worth every single penny, and is in fact a bargain, as your getting Big Boy features some only found on much much larger aircraft of a completely different class. The Honda Jet has great range great speed, exceptional performance and efficiency. The comfort of its cabin, a lavatory , plenty of luggage space, capable of single pilot operations with the best of Garmin Avionics, with operational ease that pushes such an aircraft to becoming more akin to the spirit of Honda's excellence in ease of use. More over, such an aircraft boasts of so many highlights that its notoriety has gained it rare superstar status. Its makes for a great investment, for either private ownership or even those who desire to level up their fleet with something far better than the sorts of aircraft typically flown in its size class. In other words, its a big deal.

[@everettbarnes8871]

1:20 Those wingtips, while large and very effective, do not "generate lift." They reduce induced drag by decreasing the effect of wingtip vortices- caused by high pressure air below the wing slipping up and over the tip of the wing to the low pressure air. They DO increase efficiency, but not from increased lift, rather from decreased drag.

[@mrbrightside3771]

When is the type r version coming out?

[@owenstv]

Maybe a Spoon verison

[@lennyhards7379]

Maybe ricer spec version

[@lennyhards7379]

Mike Owen what the fu## is a spoon version

[@mrbrightside3771]

You can buy

[@thearmoguy253]

jouvert alandwa me too dude

[@pyro-jeewlian718]

Can't wait to see them used and cheap in a few years... Hope they make and sell a lot of them, so the used market will be huge! :D

[@TheSoloHanSolo]

Winglets reduce drag by moving wingtip vortices away from the wingtips. They are not lifting devices.

[@johnfordice5763]

$5m seems like a shockingly reasonable price for a jet like this

[@nkenchi]

Soon you’ll be able to get extra spoilers from Halfords for that Big Boy 747 look.

[@AgriVideos1]

Good review, I'll certainly bear this one in mind when I'm shopping for my next private jet. Cheers

[@oxxo1967]

how much is it ?

[@arc11honist]

The upward extensions on the wingtips are called "winglets" and they do not produce lift. They reduce induce drag by preventing the formation of wingtip vortices or the spiraling of air when the upper and lower airflow meet on the tip of the wings

[@DennyJr22]

Looks nice, but I don't get private jet ownership. At $5M (which is cheap), that can get you something like 1,000 Business Class or 500 First Class tickets. And I'm not even factoring in paying the pilots, fuel, maintenance, hangar fees, etc, which are very expensive over time. I understand the exclusivity and time factor, but it's a steep price to pay in my eyes when commercial Business/First product these days from Emirates, Singapore, and the like are so nice.

[@whitecat1796]

Denny C its all done to impress business partners not to save money.

[@AW4WAL]

Denny C, There are two important things I would imagine of the type of people who buys private jets; these are Time and Convenience. If someone is even considering such a purchase, they must travel alot and the time saved from not having to go to an airport, with all that entails, is worth it. The convenience is also invaluable when you're not limited to the time frame of commercial airlines and hence, you can come and go at your leisure. Finally, there is no doubt as to some measure of showing off, how could you not; just imagine for a moment, you can ring Geoff the butler and say, "have the jet ready in an hour."

[@HKNYN1]

Denny C you’re thinking of it from your point of view where you would be travelling maybe 3 or 4 times a year which would be considered a lot people that buy jets are traveling around the world 3 or 4 times a week sometimes multiple flights a day so factor that in plus their schedules are not conventional that’s why the super rich buy them. What I would say though is this jet doesn’t seem like it’s worth it

[@RobinsM]

Some things you just cant do with commercial flights like regional city hoping to go to multiple meetings in one day. Time is usually the biggest factor though with commercial flights you spend 2 hours just at the airport meanwhile a jet you can be in the air within 15 minutes of you arriving and you can fly faster since airlines like to have their jets fly more efficiently then quickly. Most people who buy jets travel 250-300 hour as year minimum. Now factor in all the time you save being able to fly on your schedule when ever and where ever.

[@TomCook1993]

most private jets are owned by corporations and businesses and are used more as a business tool than a luxury item by private individuals.

[@Sh9168]

Does it come with a parachute for when the single pilot strokes out?

[@lennyhards7379]

Nope

[@musclemania30]

I’m sure he’ll hit the autopilot button before stroking out 😜

[@Sh9168]

Right. And then who lands the plane? I'd rather have a chute!

[@nighthawk0077]

@@Sh9168 You could always put one on your back

[@1compaqedr8]

[@onelesslimbrecordingstudio5251]

A great looking aircraft. I worked on the larger airlines planes. I flew on a Gulf Stream once. it was very nice and quick!

[@z4ynRx]

Will these engines fit in my Honda?

[@kimlen29]

Was waiting for the Vtec to kick in

[@RandyMabusedJW]

I took a tour of their factory and was very impressed by their facility and professionalism.

[@abhisunkara]

I wish this were transatlantic capable. I would love to have a single pilot light jet with range of 4000+ miles.

[@openmind2161]

why m i watching a private jet video

[@Si1983h]

Do pilots have to wear a baseball cap backwards, wear a hoodie and have a vape when flying this jet?

[@GSOaviator]

Proud to live in and fly out of Greensboro, NC where this beautiful aircraft is produced. The person who owns the plane I fly, and his flight instructor, work for HondaJet and I've only heard good things about the company. My girlfriend also knows the founder's son, Mark, which is pretty cool. It's quite a cool thing sharing the same airspace with multiple HondaJets, which is just an amazing aircraft and looks badass. Great video!

[@tams805]

Mate, HondaJet is part of Honda.

[@edmundkockenlocker4672]

Even if I could afford one, I think I would still fly with easyJet. Nice to see some video of Padstow though 😎 Cornwall is a heavenly place to be.

Don't know how this video popped up on my feed but it's funny because I actually work at Honda jet in production where I, alongside other workers, am working on it every day putting it together. Weird to see it on a GQ video on KZbin.

[@TeenageMillionaire2]

My company just purchased one, it’ll be interesting to see how it is when it arrives. I’ve been told they are “easy” to fly.

[@simonscowled9925]

Great video, great video , good music $5,000,000 is a great deal for a honda jet. I would buy it if i was rich and travelled often

I can't wait for the "LEXUSJET"AND "TOYOTAJET"🤔🤔😍👍

[@avro549B]

The upper skin of the wing is an exquisite piece of sculpture, machined from a single block of aluminium. It's a shame it's not visible. Whether or not it makes economic sense to own depends on your mission profiles and annual hours, but not having to deal with the cattle pens of commercial terminals or the security grope-apes is worth a lot.

[@noshbrooks]

Does a Honda jet need a Honda Pilot?

[@furyofbongos]

1) 0:41 - Notice the nose gear is partially disassembled. 2) The vertical wing tips, do they actually "generate lift" as the guy said, or do they just control the vortex so that the vortex doesn't reduce lift?

[@lenisbennett8285]

What a great looking plane. I know that space is compromised, but with a cruising speed of some 485 M.P.H.you should get to your destination in a timely manor., while you enjoy the view out the window or have the pilot show how to fly the plane then you could act as Co pilot if the need arose.

[@Samartrader]

That's great presentation brother

[@shasha8546]

does it comes with sport rims? It should have the option for body kit upgrade.

There was one spent a few weeks at Leeds East Airport (Ex RAF Church Fenton) a couple of years ago

Wings are so close to ground/ground clearance is so less that it can break wing in crosswind/unstable landings.
