Honda Aircraft says today that certification of the HA-420 HondaJet is delayed by roughly one year to late-2014 as development of the light jet's all-new engine continues to fall behind schedule. Deliveries of five of these jets were supposed to be by late 2013 but as you can see a delay of one year butchers the schedule severely.
HondaJet has launched their fifth flight test aircraft. The fifth conforming aircraft flew on May 16 from HondaJet’s headquarters in Greensboro, N.C. During the 60-min. flight, the aircraft climbed to 12,000 ft. and reached a top speed of 300 kt. true airspeed.
Honda Jet is expected to debut their FAA-conforming HondaJet at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh on July 29th. For more you can check out that relevant press release... http://hondajet.honda.com/news/article.aspx?ArticleType=pressrelease&CatType=news_detail_131.xml&bhcp=1

The facility will act as the company’s customer service organisation and will complement the HondaJet dealer network by providing heavy maintenance and repair and overhaul work.
