Honda’s experimental jet makes first public flight

Honda conducted the first public test flight of its experimental small jet plane at a Wisconsin air show as the company considers whether to enter the aircraft business.

Japan’s third-largest automaker has no plans now to ask the Federal Aviation Administration to certify the HondaJet for sale to the public, spokesman Yuzuru Matsuno said. The Tokyo company called Thursday’s flight in Oshkosh the first major showing of the plane to aviation enthusiasts and the news media.
