It will be interesting to see how this one is FAA-certified. Power failure
would be a worst-case scenario, so I'd be surprised if this plane lacked
multiple power sources, but a lightning hit could be a problem.

I'll let someone else earn the red badge of courage flying this
aircraft. After twenty years, if there haven't been too many
accidents, maybe it can be considered safe.

I notice in the photo gallery, the only mention of safety shows a
photo of an emergency exit. There are zillions of pictures of the
cabin, but only one of the flight deck. Clearly, the audience is the
rich businessman and the pilots are merely servants.

I don't know about the last part, but time will tell.

When did Honda become a significant name in aviation?

Truer words have never been written.

Pretty much the day they said they were going to build an airplane. Thought
it could be argued it was when they said they were going to build an
airplane engine.

Numbnuts, you let someone else earn the red badge of current flying ANY
aircraft.

I thought modern jets don't have steam gauges as backups anymore.

What do you do when the electrical system fails?

Peanut gauges are electric, but they have their own power, independent
supply.

Some aircraft are safer than others.
