Honda’s Jet Is Delayed

Honda's jet was supposed to be commercially available in 2012, and then in 2013, but it will be another wait of another year. The FAA certification of Honda's small business jet is delayed until late next year, "due to a minor issue in the certification procedure, which has since been resolved," says Reuters. "There was a minor issue in the process of the engine approval, but the fundamental design of the jet is not being swayed by this," Honda spokesman Shigeki Endo told Reuters. Like Boeing's grounded (and recently released) 787 Dreamliner, the HondaJet also uses a lithium-ion battery in its jet, but the delay in approval has nothing to do with its battery system, Endo said. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
