Honda has just announced that it will build a small jet appropriately called the HondaJet. Honda has been investigating for some time, the possibility of entering the aviation field.

They expect to start taking orders in the fall of 2006.
Snippet: HondaJet features several innovations that help it achieve far better fuel efficiency, larger cabin and luggage space and higher cruise speed than conventional aircraft in its class. The announcement to commercialize HondaJet comes one year after the plane made its world public debut at EAA AirVenture 2005 in Oshkosh, Wis.
