Not sure if its a repost but was reading the metro paper today and seen that Honda is making small jet planes now.

9,200-pound mtow, 420-knot cruise speed, 44,000-foot ceiling and an NBAA IFR range of 1,100 nm.

this is actually fairly impressive, looks like the citation 5 has some competition on its way! this will have more cabin space than a c5 ... it looks sexy with those overwing engines too it still wont touch a G5 tho, but it is just a first generation... Im confused at why they would be trying to penetrate the maket when everyone is selling their aircraft tho...?

LMFAO!!, last time i was under the cowl of a turbofan I didnt notice any cam shafts for vtec!!lol

hmm i just got a new idea for an engine swap.. how about a Honda 1,670-pound-thrust HF118 turbofan ?? think its a direct bolt in? im thinking i might need some custom fabricated axles? what do you guys think ? i bet it would do well at the track! Oh but theres no vtec, in that case it cant be to powerfull

maybe ill build a HF118vtec frankinstine motor!! ill post the procedure when i finish it
