Dan,


Two flying prototypes...vaporware?



Proof of concept, not prototypes.


No, they are prototypes. The concept of light jets was proven decades ago
so Honda isn't proving any concept with their Jet. Likewise, composite
light planes are a proven concept as well so neither is Cessna proving any
concept. I'll bet if they move to production the production versions will
look a lot like these prototypes, thus confirming that they are
prototypes.

I am guessing that for tax purposes, calling it a "proof of concept" is
better than calling it a "prototype".
