Read about that a year or so ago. The thing is now passed to fly?

Will Corbin make aftermarket seats for it?

Also. I've noticed that it has three wheels. That would technically make it trike.

Right?

The engines are mounted on slightly angled pylons so maybe it's a V-twin trike?

I'm sure it's finer than anything Honda has ever produced. I mean it would have to be. It's an airplane.

I heard somewhere that they built a jet because the CCT's kept wearing out prematurely in the prototype prop versions

While changing planes in Atlanta yesterday, an Airbus A-380 went by the terminal. Wow is that thing huge.

In this LINK, the Honda does have a lavatory. In contrast the A-380 has 17 of them for the 555 passengers.

I think I would much rather take the Honda and have them park it near the limo. That would be a better option than having 554 other passengers blocking me at baggage claim.

If they need it to go faster, will they need to "re-jet" it?

Pretty sure it's fuel injected so I'm looking into aftermarket pipes and a PowerComander
