A lucky customer got the first HondaJet for Christmas

The wait is finally over – for one lucky customer for sure. After an extended gestation period, the Honda Aircraft Company has given the first HondaJet to its eagerly awaiting new owner of the vehicle. And with it, company has stepped into one more territory of motorized transportation.

The HondaJet HA-420 is categorized as a very light business jet, of about 42 feet and 7 inches long including a 39’9″ wingspan. Power comes from a couple of turbofan engines created by Honda and General Electric, each good for over 2,000 pounds of thrust and together are able of moving the aircraft to a cruising speed of 435 miles per hour or a highest speed of 483 mph. That confirms the HA-420 far and away the fastest vehicle Honda makes across few modes of transportation. In addition to cars, trucks, and jets, the firm also creates motorcycles, ATVs, marine engines, and lawnmowers, making it one of the most versatile producer in the vehicle industry.
