Even as the large-light
HondaJet continues to make headway in
flight and ground testing toward a scheduled 2013 certification, the American
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is recognizing the man behind
the aircraft – president and CEO of Honda Aircraft Michimasa Fujino – for the
aerodynamic innovations that lie within the jet’s distinctive design.
The
Institute has awarded Fujino the 2012 AIAA Aircraft Design Award for the
HondaJet’s most unique and eye-catching characteristic – it’s over-the-wing
engine configuration – a design feature that sets it apart from its peers in
the light-jet category and defies traditional engineering . . . .
