| John Batchelor and Lou Ann Hammond talk to Jeffery Smith, Vice President American Honda about the Hondajet. |
|
HondaJet's patented over-the-wing engine-mount configuration helps eliminate the need for a structure to mount the engines to the rear fuselage, maximizing space in the fuselage for passengers and luggage. Further, by determining the optimal position for the engines, the over-the-wing mount actually reduces drag at high speed to improve fuel efficiency. |

| | If a car company is able to provide one more inch of interior space in a car they boast about it The same with fuel economy, if a car gets two miles per gallon more than last years it’s breaking news. |
| The big news here is that Honda has not only created a very light jet (VLJ), but a jet that has more interior space and better fuel economy. "I work for an automobile company so I’m always looking at the layout of the automobile closely," said Michimasa Fujino. According to Honda, the Hondajet will get 30-35 percent better fuel economy than comparable very light jets. |
