掛Turbo的日產還好一些...(逃")

汽車的鈑金干小飛機啥事?

通過FAA所有的安規了嗎？
如果通過了...漢翔和捷克合作的AE270應該是會被打槍吧XD

飛一飛，會不會刷缸？？
不過！噴射引擎應該和F1的不一樣吧。

F1尾翼加大點說不定就飛起來了XD

HONDA不是也在研發機器人
快吧CHOBITS搞出來才是正道........

啃....鼻頭還放個渦輪螺旋槳的AE270不要進來亂啦!!


PS. 市場定位應該差很多吧??

真佩服HONDA.
歐洲一些車廠(SAAB,BMW)都是飛機->汽車.HONDA逆向操作汽車->飛機

嗯，這新聞怎麼能缺席呢？這區間的競爭好像漸漸在加溫...

HondaJet與Ae270應屬不同的市場定位。倒是她與華揚史威靈的SJ-30較為相同。

2家拼起來，不知鹿死誰手？不過現在SJ-30好像較為領先一步...

Honda to Begin Sales of Very Light Jet – “HondaJet”
-- Honda and Piper Aircraft to Form New Business Alliance -- Watch The Video

OSHKOSH, WIS, U.S.A., July 25, 2006– Honda announced plans to enter the innovative HondaJet in the growing verylight jet market, with the process of accepting sales orders expected to begin in the U.S. in fall 2006. Toward this goal, Honda will establish a new U.S. company to hold FAA type certification and production certification. Honda’s goal is to complete type certification in about 3-4 years, followed by the start of production in the U.S.

Making the announcement at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture 2006, the world’s largest annual aviation gathering, Honda also revealed plans to form a business alliance with Piper Aircraft, Inc. to collaborate on sales and service, and to explore opportunities in engineering and other areas within general and business aviation.

Honda and Piper will provide a new level of sales and service to meet the needs of jet customers with the goal of setting a higher standard for the quality of the ownership experience. No specific details regarding additional collaboration were announced.

“Aviation has been an important dream of Honda for more than four decades,” said Satoshi Toshida, senior managing director of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. “Our goal is consistent with the philosophy of other Honda products -- to provide convenient and efficient transportation that will make people’s lives better. We are excited now to enter a new dimension of mobility.”

“In Piper we believe we have a partner we can collaborate with in our effort to bring new value to customers in the very light jet market,” said Toshida.

“Honda is a company with a rich heritage of bringing high quality, innovative products to market,” said James K. Bass, president and CEO of Piper Aircraft, Inc. “This business alliance is a perfect fit given the commitment both Piper and Honda have to providing our respective customers with world class products and services. Piper is very excited about this alliance and the way it complements our vision for the future.”

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.

The result of 20 years of aviation research, key HondaJet innovations include a patented over-the-wing engine-mount configuration, a natural-laminar flow (NLF) wing and fuselage nose, and an advanced all-composite fuselage structure.

“We want to create new value within the aviation market through the unique new design of HondaJet,” said Michimasa Fujino, HondaJet project leader and vice president of Honda R&D Americas, Inc. “Our goal is to deliver three key attributes – performance, quality and comfort – beyond what people currently expect from light business jets.”

HondaJet’s NLF wing and NLF fuselage nose were developed through extensive analyses and wind-tunnel testing. These designs help HondaJet achieve low drag. 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.

The advanced all-composite fuselage structure consists of a combination of honeycomb sandwich structure and co-cured stiffened panels. It was developed to reduce weight and manufacturing costs. This aircraft is also outfitted with a state-of-the-art all-glass flight deck with an integrated avionics system that displays all information digitally on a high resolution flat display, and also has an autopilot function.

HondaJet – Main Specifications
Seating 7 (2 crew + 5 passengers or 1 + 6)
Engine GE-Honda HF118 Turbofan Engine- × 2
Length × width × height 12.7× 12.2 × 4.1 m (41.7 × 39.9 × 13.2 ft)
Maximum speed 778 km/hr (420 knots)
Operational ceiling 12,497 m (41,000 ft)
Range 2,037 km (1,100 nm)


To date the prototype six-to-seven seat HondaJet has completed more than 240 hours of flight-testing since December 2003. So far, the prototype HondaJet has achieved an altitude of 43,000 feet and a speed of 412 knots and is on course to meet or exceed all of its design specifications.

Piper Aircraft, Inc., headquartered in Vero Beach, Fla., is the only general aviation manufacturer to offer a complete line of aircraft for every general aviation mission, from trainers and high-performance aircraft for personal and business use to turbine-powered business aircraft. In its 70-year history, Piper has produced more than 144,000 aircraft and developed more than 180 different models. Piper covers the global marketplace with 80 sales and service centers worldwide.

Honda is one of the world's leading producers of mobility products including its diverse line-up of automobiles, motorcycles and ATVs, power products, marine engines and personal watercraft. Honda is the world's preeminent engine-maker, with annual worldwide production of more than 20 million engines. On a global basis, Honda has more than 130 manufacturing facilities in 29 nations.

Honda began operations in North America in 1959 with the establishment of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Honda's first overseas subsidiary. Honda began assembling motorcycles in America in 1979, with U.S. automobile manufacturing starting in 1982. Honda now employs more than 28,000 Americans in the design, manufacture and marketing of its products in America. Honda currently builds products in 13 manufacturing plants in North America, with three major R&D centers in the U.S.

華揚史威靈飛機 成為美德州寶石

【文.陳宗逸】　
郭清江博士表示，聖安東尼市為華揚史威靈量身訂作了一套新的獎勵投資方案，以示支持，未來飛機零組件可以交給台灣當地的飛機公司組裝，進一步增加台灣的就業機會。


接任由台灣政府轉投資的美國華揚史威靈飛機公司（Sino-Swearing Aircraft Corp.）董事長兼執行長一年半時間的航太專家郭清江博士，近日成功為公司完成最新一波的拓展工作，飛機廠所在地德州州政府以及聖安東尼市官員，與郭博士等公司代表，六月三十日宣布雙方合作一套全新的獎勵投資方案，華揚史威靈飛機公司獲得德州政府的資金補助興建新的飛機廠房，第一架量產的SJ-30通用客機，預計在本月交貨。而郭清江博士也於日前回國拜會經濟部，成功獲得經濟部耀華玻璃一千五百萬美元的補助，郭清江對於華揚史威靈未來的發展，非常的樂觀。

德州政府肯定提供獎勵方案

六月三十日與七月十日兩次成功獲得增資，讓華揚史威靈跳脫出「投資黑洞」的惡名，穩定擴展飛機生產線，公司所在地德州聖安東尼市（City Of San Antonio）從半年前開始，就針對是否吸引華揚史威靈公司繼續留在當地以及擴大營業的事情，與公司展開長期的折衝與斡旋，經過冗長的談判與評估之後，聖安東尼市為華揚史威靈量身訂作了一套新的獎勵投資方案，內容包括十年的百分之百減稅期、土地資貸、員工訓練以及廠房擴建的獎勵經費，總額達到一千三百五十萬美元。同時，德州州政府也從企業發展基金中，撥出二百五十萬美元共襄盛舉，德州是全美最重要的航太發展中心之一，極端重視相關產業，華揚史威靈的進一步拓展，也是德州政府與聖安東尼市市政府振興當地經濟發展的重要關鍵。

郭清江博士表示，這一套獎勵投資的方案，代表德州州政府和聖安東尼市市政府，對華揚史威靈飛機公司的肯定與支持，華揚史威靈在未來幾年內，將會穩定的繼續成長，創造的利潤除了可以回饋台灣之外，飛機零組件也可以交給台灣當地的飛機公司組裝，可以進一步增加台灣的就業機會。今年年初，郭清江就已經與台南亞航獲得共識，未來將密切合作，至於與漢翔公司之間的互動，也正在進行之中，漢翔高層剛剛改組，未來的合作組裝問題，還待進一步談判。不論合作的等級如何，華揚史威靈未來對於提升台灣航太工業的水準，將具有非常關鍵的地位，特別是在民用航空器的研製與生產組裝上面。

最佳輕型客機獲得美方認證

據了解，德州聖安東尼市市政府提供給華揚史威靈公司位在聖安東尼國際機場的廠區，將由目前的十一．七英畝，擴充為三十六．六英畝，廠區擴大之後，華揚史威靈的飛機年產量，將可望達到一百架。德州州長派里（Rick Perry）表示，華揚史威靈的擴廠計劃，正好讓聖安東尼市，成為全美國就業機會成長最好的地區之一，同時也可望為德州進一步帶來經濟上的繁榮。而華揚史威靈研製的SJ-30通用客機，其實也用San Antonio Jewel（聖安東尼寶石）為飛機名稱，也象徵此款通用客機，是聖安東尼市航空工業的驕傲。

聖安東尼市市長赫伯格（Phil Harberger）表示，華揚史威靈飛機公司留在聖安東尼市繼續發展，可以促使當地的產業升級，並且往高科技領域邁進，聖安東尼市的航太工業發展，將因此而邁出一大步。據了解，目前華揚史威靈公司位於聖安東尼市的總部，包括研究和測試作業設施，裡面的管理人員、工程師以及技術人員，就高達四百六十九人，另外還有二百二十人在西維吉尼亞洲的廠房。

華揚史威靈公司開發成功的SJ-30型客機，是屬於通用型商務小客機，也是目前全世界最快以及航程最遠的輕型噴射客機，是全球通用航空業近四十多年來，第一架從全新公司設計、製造的新飛機，機內總共可以搭載七人，於四萬一千英尺高度時，每小時速度達到五百六十英里，航程超過二千五百海里。不論是操作性能以及省油特性，都因為新的機身設計有所突破，這架飛機目前已經獲得美國聯邦航空署（Federal Aviation Administration, FAA）的型別認證，可以開始量產飛機，陸續進行最後製造與組裝工作。獲得優惠擴建的新廠房，未來將全力生產SJ-30型商務客機。

黑洞業績翻紅傳媒隱而不報

郭清江以短短一年半時間，以個人航太專業以及經營效率專長，讓「投資黑洞」華揚史威靈展現生機，但是公司業務擴展卻在台灣受到主流媒體忽視，郭清江此次七月十日返國，成功獲得經濟部繼續挹注資金，主要也是因為德州政府與聖安東尼市的優惠獎勵所帶來的信心效應，但是國內少數媒體幾乎隱而不報，完全以「看笑話」角度觀察華揚史威靈的投資，這樣的媒體生態，也讓郭清江頗感無奈。

請不要再用板金厚度來衡量一臺車的安全性啦~~~
SUV 的板金夠厚了吧? 但車禍致死率卻是全私家車種最高的

回正題.... Honda 作這個出來其實是為了 20 年後 F1 轉用噴射引擎而作的準備

又﹐我記得 BMW 沒作飛機吧? 他們只是供應飛機的發動機而已?
