EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2013
HondaJet
The HondaJet made its
first public flights at Oshkosh this year. The FAA conforming
#3 and #5 jets flew in formation to demonstrate their flight
characteristics. The red one is
used for flight testing, hence the extended pitot probe on
the nose. The blue one will be used to test interior
components. One of the unique features of the HondaJet is
the Over-the-wing engine mounts, which increases cabin and
cargo space, decreases cabin noise and increases fuel
efficiency.
