Mitsuya Hamaguchi Honda Jet

Honda decided to go with an unusual over-the-wing podded engine configuration, a feature developed on the Fokker VFW-614 decades earlier, which allows for more space within the fuselage and reduction of drag at higher speeds. The fuselage itself is made from lightweight composite materials, while the wings are made from structurally reinforced single sheets of aluminum. The use of a single sheet allows for a smoother surface than more conventional methods. Honda claims that the combination of lightweight materials, aerodynamics and the efficient engines gives the HondaJet a 30-35% higher fuel efficiency than similar aircraft.Honda began developing its own small turbofan engine, the HF118, in 1999. This led to the evolution of the HF120, which was developed with GE Aviation under the GE Honda partnership, and was test-flown on a Cessna Citation and on a modified Boeing 727-100. The engine features a single fan, a two-stage compressor and a two-stage turbine. Further design testing on wing shape and design were done on a T-33 Shooting Star, modified by AVTEL Services, Inc, and flight tested at the Mojave Airport.The aircraft is equipped with a Garmin G1000 glass cockpit system (i.e. most of the cockpit readouts are presented on flat-panel displays).

Mitsuya Hamaguchi developed this simple Honda Jet add-on for both FS9, but it also works with FSX. The model is simple, and the textures are okay. The panel as well as the virtual cockpit is very simple. The doors will not open even if you command it to. The wings are modeled into the VC so there is also a wingview. Sounds are not included, the default Learjet sounds are used.
There is also a female co-pilot modeled into the VC that responds to controls to accompany you in flight, but she is annoying, she will distract you by saying love messages to you every time you bank to the left and will sometimes block your view of the right side.
