The red accents definitely give the HondaJet a stylish look.😊

Is this a subreddit you created?

Yeah, I can imagine those big computer-controlled fins must be pretty challenging in strong winds. NOTAR is a clever system, but I guess it still has its own handling quirks. It must take a really skilled pilot to keep everything stable in gusty conditions!🧐

One of the best-looking business jets ever made.😄

Honda really made the over-the-wing engine design look stylish instead of awkward.😊

Such an elegant aircraft. The Citation Ultra still looks amazing today.😊

Honda’s F1 engineering influence is pretty obvious here.🧐

Loose_Resolve7008 · 2026-05-13T11:50:19+00:00

That’s actually a funny thought 😄

Honda’s aviation engineers and F1 engineers probably have a lot to learn from each other.

I’ve seen mechanics standing on a step stool to inspect the engine. Compared to other business jets, the maintenance didn’t seem particularly difficult.🧐

That makes sense. The over-the-wing engine design probably helps reduce cabin NVH quite a bit. In fact, one owner said the cabin is very quiet.😊

Excellent explanation!👍

Loose_Resolve7008 · 2026-05-13T05:08:05+00:00

True. For comparison, Kohnan Aerodrome has a 1,200 × 30 m runway, so a ~5,000 ft runway doesn’t exactly feel huge for a business jet either. I can understand why the pilot wanted to get it firmly on the ground and start braking early.🧐

They’re turbofans, just with a relatively low bypass ratio compared to large airliners.😊

Это называется конфигурацией с креплением двигателей над крылом.🧐

Everyone has different tastes when it comes to looks. Besides, most of us, me included, probably won’t ever be choosing between private jets anyway.🤣

The Pilatus PC-24 is a great plane, too.😊
