Default Honda to start producing business jets

Now we know what they are going to do with the aluminum fabricating technology of the Insight and NSX.

(via nytimes.com) – Honda announced its plans to produce the twin-engine HondaJet at an air show in Oshkosh, Wis., on Tuesday. It will be a fuel-efficient twin-engine small jet. It will be built in the United States, and is expected to go on sale by 2010.

Not quite, H jet will be all-composite fuselage and made in the US.

So much for my conspiracy theory.

Does this suggest that Honda might consider using composite structure in future cars? ( another wildly speculative theory )
