The Hondajet is a sweet little plane. I work in R&D Flight test for them and we keep improving it.
Thanks for visiting my channel! Keep up the great work!
One of the most beautiful light jets... They should expand lineup
My officemate worked on the HondaJet when I worked for Honda R&D 20 years ago, it's great to see it finally flying.
Thanks for your comment. And big Thanks for your hard work, it definitely paid off, great jet it is.
Fell in love with the 714
For me instead of buying I would rather have fractional ownership. I love the Pilatus PC-12 and the TBM 950, both great planes.
Yes, gather a couple of friends and make them chip in.
Hi there. Thanks for the clarification. I believe it was a simple misspelling on Kamil's behalf
Kamil Faizi fractional ownership seems like a time share of sorts.
Yep, its called corruption
Calidad, precio, rango, cantidad de pasajeros.. todo es ganancia.. y es muy bello..
Amazing!!!!!
Yay. Glad you liked my work! Which plane are you going to buy when the millions start pouring in to your bank account?
great video . Hats off and subscribe to this video. All KZhead videos should stand behind you.
Thanks for your support. Check out my entire playlist about the flying things kzhead.info/channel/PL_FzXOZV6f6EYE926GkDE6HWi24UXBPnX.html
Amazing and beneficial video 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Hats off and subscribed for this video. Keep it up
I just saw an Eclipse 550 landing at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta a few days ago, a sharp looking jet. I like the Cirrus SF50 personally, if I had the scratch, I'd buy one of those...
Thanks for your comment. Wish you to have the scratch some day to afford one of these
@@automotiveterritory No problem, thanks for this informative video, and thanks for the well wishes, believe me, I need them, lol, Happy New Year my friend...
Thanks! Happy holidays to you too!
S. Chris T. - I think the SF50 looks pretty sweet! And it's designed to be flown by the owner. Extremely simple cockpit. And relatively cheap. That'd be my choice if I won the lottery.
Best of luck winning one!
I like the Honda Jet All the best Shaun of NYC
Thanks for your feedback
Nice video sir
Appreciate you support?
That little sf50 is a cool design
It's design is cool for sure, was it your favorite on this list?
AT....yes, the most modern look on the list....the Honda is decent too
Lol. Poor Honda engineers and designers, I hope they won't see your comment. Calling their plane decent would probably break their hearts:)
ah i love it.
Thanks for your comment! Glad you liked the episode. What is your favorite entry?
I LOVE THE HONDAJET SO MUCH
Though there has been some negative feedback from my audience, that the jet division of Honda company has poor corporate culture, it still remains one of the best sold private jets on the market, and seems like a solid machine. Any plans to own one when you get super rich?
@@automotiveterritory Thank you for responding. Yes I have actually. Thinking of the Embraer Legacy 550, or Pilatus PC-24. Nothing too big because my plans don't really evolve taking many people for business trips/meetings etc... something that has around 8 seats (not including pilots seats (2) or bathroom).
@@automotiveterritory i also really like the puple color on the thumbnail of the HondaJet, although its probably photoshopped. I also like the phenom 300
Have to confess, I did Photoshop the photo ;)
To be fair, Honda Jet does look stunning in white/blue too.
Everyone in the comments: I like that jet it’s cool Me: why does this guy put knots mph as the same number for each plane
Great vid! 💨✈ 😰
Have you chosen your favorite jet yet?
I like them all.
Hey, Keith! Glad you liked it! Check out see other videos about flying things on my channel! Cheers
What was the song used in the background?
You forgot Pilatus PC24, the multi purpose and super versatile bizjet from Pilatus of Switzerland.
I appreciate the suggestion.
Most jets are expensive. They could only be more and less expensive.
@Dark Sigma The price of the PC24 is somewhere about 9 Million US Dollars.
So now we just have to take a peek into our savings and decide if it's expensive or really expensive.
I think citation its the best one of all, price, fuel and knt/hr
Citation planes indeed have years of outstanding performance behind them, that is now coupled with reasonable pricing in the segment and lots of service facilities. Have you ever had a change to fly one?
I like the hondajet.
Have you seen the Honda jet Elite yet?
Considering you threw the $8mil CJ3 in the video, I'm surprised you didn't include the Phenom 300 from Embraer since is still falls under the $10mil range. After all, it is one of the largest single pilot light jets on the market.
Hi there. I wanted to keep the lineup as versatile as possible, so thought that one Phenom would be enough. Hope the absence of the 300 didn't spoil the video
Tell me non-colloquially: How exactly am I going to fasten my seatbelt, while sitting on my couch and watching this dang it video?!
What seems to be the problem? Are you hands occupied with your mobile device and you are having trouble fastening your seatbelt? =)
5:45 "Pilatus" is not the type of the plane, it's the manufacturer Pilatus Werke Switzerland. (Yes, this planes are actually made in switzerland!) Pilatus has some different plane models, this seems to be the PC-12. They've got also a new and awesome JET plane, called PC-24. If I was rich and needed to choose a plane, the PC24 would be it. It's got a lot of needful features like a cargo-door or the ability to start and land on natural runways less than 1km long. So You can use many small airports, wich are normally NOT made for jet planes.
Hi there. I didn't imply that Pilatus was a type of a plane. I meant that the first ever Pilatus PC-12 flew in 1991 and this modern model PC-12 NG (new generation) is based on that original plane. And yes, it is indeed manufactured in Switzerland. Hope this clears things up
How did you like the lineup?
Some interresting and modern looking models, but I must confess: I have not a lot knowledge about buisness planes, I just know a bit about the Pilatus plane models because they are swiss made - and I am too. ;)
Not a problem at all. Just wanted to clear matter. Glad to have people from around the world visiting my channel! Hope you will find some interesting videos here! Have a wonderful day!
Wow! A CJ3 that goes 1,416 mph. Where can I get one?
7-14 great for short hops, but at 2 mill a bathroom 🚻 is a must
Definitely gotta have a bathroom
HondaJets💎❤❤❤💎
I wish once will buy it 💧🌱
It's a great target to aim for.
Many Beautiful Private Business, Mini Jets and Light Airplanes on the market. For Myself, ..`Geared turbofan" is a must! Why are we forty plus years behind? Think, Priorities.
DavidbivɒⱭ why pay as much for a single prop as a twin jet....?
That's right youtube you know Imma be a millionaire. That Cj3 is perfect
That's the spirit. I see that you are skipping the beginner millionaire part and going for the millionaire level right away. ;)
@@automotiveterritory hey it's a mental universe right? We attract what we emit. So yeah that's where I'm aiming at 👍 nice channel thanks for the reply.
Thanks. And a nice approach to life. Good luck attracting things that you are craving for.
Cessna Citation M2 is my passion..
Wish you to own it one day
Yeah certainly.
How much time its gonna take to learn piloting on honda jet or cirrius?
I would say 2 years
@@automotiveterritory after two years i will have other attraction :)
One of the things I value the most is time and buying a private jet would be awesome for me in the future
Which one do you fancy the most?
@@automotiveterritory the embraer phenom 100 is a really neat jet and is not overly expensive but still lavish and also the sf50 would be a really nice jet just to get from point a to point b
It's a nice one for sure.
Wow ... saying MPH or miles per hour when the data sheet says knots, and then on the CJ3 stating that it can go more than twice the speed of sound? (1416 mph) If you are good with cars, stay there
@@automotiveterritorybut you did repeatedly say "miles per hour" instead of "knots per hour" or more simply, "knots".
@@ljwithnok2615 Knots is a unit of velocity. Therefore, knots per hour is a unit of acceleration. It's not simpler to use knots, it is correct.
@@jean-lookpickart108 true
Twice the speed of sound on the cj3 nope not happening.
@@gregadomeit4020 may happen when it explodes
Sir u should to explain fuel efficiency also & Consumption
Hi there. My format is somewhat restricted in the amount of I go I can reproduce, so i had to sacrifice the fuel efficiency data for these jets
I have the M2 and I got it last year.
How much did it send you back?
That's so cool!! Totally appropriate for a very cool guy! ; )
I bought 'em all. That way I can take whichever one I'm in the mood for that day. Sometimes I even have a second one flow along on the trip in case I want to take a different one on the return trip.
if Vin Diesel was able to afford only one, you must be Dwayne The Rock Johnson. How was your workout today?
How long does it take you to get qualified to fly one I wonder
Do any or all of these small jets have a tiolet?
The majority of them do
Hey... the HondaJet olso got the Garmin G3000 avionics, not only the TBM...
I see, let me double check that.
@@automotiveterritorysure, no problem =)
The CJ3 entry door and most of the interior pictures are not from a CJ3. Could be a Citation Sovereign, Latitude or X, but definitely not any of the CJ models. They all have left side hinged doors.
Range seems to stay the same at top of pic
I kept hearing MPH and KTS used interchangeably. The narrator did not realise they are not represent the same speed at the same values. KTS is higher than the MPH at the same number.
Actually they are not used interchangeably.
Yes I noticed the same thing he kept screwing it up
i belive among all of them honda is the cutest one!
It's a great pick!
There will be a new VLJ coming up in 2019/20 called the FLARIS FAR 1..........here are some of it's insane numbers ......cruse speed: 380knots ; stall: ONLY 62knots ; max. FlyLevel : FL 460 ; Range: max. 1730NM ; Lift to Drag Ratio : L/D 18 ( near the same like a sailing Plane ) Take Off : ONLY 820ft !!! ; because of it's super light Weight ; max. Take Off Weight : 1.5 tons ; 1 Pilot & 4 Pass. ; Price ca. 2.0 Mill $. ; it will be certified for Grass & gravel runways as well ; SUPER POWERFUL Engine : Williams FJ33-5A with 8.5kn Thrust ; Evionics: Garmin G600........AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST........IT LOOKS JUST INSANELY COOL......MORE LIKE A MILITARY DRONE THEN A PRIVATE JET !
Clearly written by people who know very little about aviation.
Santa can I please have a Cirrus Vision Jet for Christmas? That's not asking too much is it? It's cheapest on the list!!
Everyone should upvote this comment, so Santa sees it.
invite me then
I'm the next one in line!
you did not mention the Premier 1?
I guess I didn't. Let me check your suggestion.
What is the most practical ,comfortable and ergonomic?
Since we are talking about jets, the price plays a significant role. Are you asking which plane offers the best value for money?
Including hiring a pilot, insurance, taxes, fuel, maintenance, and storage, I wonder how much money it costs (yearly) to maintain one of these small 5 million dollar jets?
All depends on how often you fly. It is around $1,000 per the hour of operation.
to land on a public airport do you have to let them know beforehand?
Yes. These planes operate per the carefully pre-planned routes as well.
I think you're wrong about the honda jet 30000 ceiling. It's actually over 40k. Need to fix that.
O.K. Im Not A Pilot Of Any Sort But Did He Say @ 7:20 That The CJ3 Would Reach A Speed Of 1,416 MPH
Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. You are correct, my tongue failed me. I meant to say 416 mph. Besides this failure, how did you like the video?
It Is A Very Informative Video... No Annoying Music ....No Robotic Voices.... Just The Specs....The Type Of Video I Enjoy Watching
Thanks for your feedback, this is what my channel is s all about. Glad that you liked the narration, I am working on it's improvement nevertheless cause i still sound robotic at times.
The USAF should just buy a fleet of CJ3's and slap missiles on them. DEAL OF THE CENTURY. lol
you keep saying MPH but your video has it in Kts, which is it??
It's always kts. This is an automotive channel so I'll give him a break but it is annoying.
Apologies. Using knots in my newer videos
that honda jet would sell much better with cooler looking engine mounts. why are they attached to wings? is it to minimaze resonation?
To create more room in that tiny body. Its already sell nicely for a newbie. Onl Cirrus beat it and because of cheaper
Why are you not delicate a video for Limousine car, by the way I like Honda Jet. Are you remember me😀😀😀😀
I do remember you and I do remember your request. Unfortunately, I still wasn't able to put together a whole video dedicated to limousines. Glad to see you back.
❤❤❤❤❤
What was your favorite jet from this list?
The one with a lavatory!
I want a Honda jet.
It's a very fine choice actually
I am not rich enough to afford these jets. Why am I even watching this video? 😂
Is that have auto piloting system.
Which of the models are you asking about?
Inshalla at any cost
The screen shows speeds in knots; the narration says MPH. Which one is it?
It's knots and nautical miles per hour. Sorry for the confusion
Now i am going to shopping mall ...hope i will find affordable one ...
Do such words such affordable and airplane usually come together in one phrase?
Honda: how do we name or jet? Also Honda: Jet. Aslo also Honda: But how do they know we mean our jet? Also also also Honda: We name it Hondajet. **gives themself a raise**
At least the name is straight to the point. ;)
Cirrus Vision Jet
A personal mini jet airplane is a not just a toy for the rich but a symbol of status. If you got one, it means that you have always got places to be and can’t afford waiting at an airport. If you are one of such people or a just interested to check out the luxury offered by personal aircraft, here at 10 best models you should consider. Which one would you like to own?
You have a point. Contingency is important
I LIKE THE HONDA JET
Awesome choice!
Knots is not the same as mph. Multiply 1.15 times kt, to get mph.
The Honda Jet
Nice pick
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I assume you liked the episode? That is awesome! Which jet would you like to own ?
You need to make sure you're not mixing speed in knots and MPH.
I don't think that I've mixed them somewhere.
8:38 rest in piece left wing gear
Nice clickbait thumbnail. My favorite private jet, but in a beautiful purple ?! I have to see more of this ! Haha ! Just playin! Sucks to be you !
How much would a P-51 Mustang cost to be built today and not be full of electronics.?
Hi, Scott. Unfortunately, I am not able to answer this question. You might attempt to contact the manufacturer by following the links in the description
Oke good.
honda jet is only USD4M?
Yep. No more no less. Puny 4 mil ;)
Only...4m
A knot is a longer distance than a mile so 404 knots is 464.91 miles per hour
Data sheets on vid indicates ‘kts’, or knots and you say ‘kph’, or kilometers per hour. Fairly large difference.
Thanks for bringing this up again. The issue has been already addressed on multiple occasions and the aforementioned acronym doesn't stand for kilometers per hour.
No Embraer Phenom 100?
Is it much different from the Embraer Phenom that I featured in the video?
The RAF Mosquito, a plywood airplane, went 400 mph in the 40's.
Hey there. I don't think it had the same comfortable cabin, though. Or did it?
The speaker gets mph and knots mixed up.
@@automotiveterritory yes you did.
Honda jet is number 1!
Most Honda Jet Pilots give a thumbs down. Too many issues and not enough service centers.
Having worked at HJ, can honestly say. They're lost at building Jets. It SUCKS! Probably why they can't sell them and still building them. Definition of insanity... Should've called it a zero!
Good day. I'm eager to learn about the problems with this jet to avoid making a mistake of featuring it in the future episodes. Can you provide some personal issues that you had with the plane? Thanks!
Read the glassdoor for hondajet.
Maybe one day I will buy one, but for now, buying new car is not possible, I'm not sure about the future
Best of luck getting there!
1:29 405 knots is 466 mph. Knots are not the same as mph.
PS. Knots do not equal miles per hour. One knot = 1.151 mph
Good day. While knots do not equal land miles per hour, they equal nautical mph, so I chose to use a more comprehensive unit for the wider public, though admittedly didn't specify that it was nautical. My bad. What do you think about the list?
I am slightly concerned that miles per hour and knots seem to be confused.
Hi there. In the narration I was using nautical miles per hour instead of simply using knots or land mph. at least I should have mentioned it, but chose to omit this matter not to confuse the average viewer. Turned out as a Bad choice. Apologies.
Honda Jet all day Long
No, you are reading knots as mph. They are not the same measurement of speed.
Knots equal to nautical miles per hour. I just don't want to use the term that could be confusing to the majority of the viewers
And in the process, you made it MORE confusing. If you want to use a familiar term (MPH) then quote the speed in statute MPH and everyone will be on the same page as MPH typically uses statute miles rather than knots. To say MPH and quote the speed in knots confuses everybody.
Understood. I followed this scheme in the new video, check it out. kzhead.info/sun/lrCKk9SnjISFaqM/bejne.html
No Ranges noted
He does realize that the unit of measurement "kts" is knots and not (no pun intended) mph right? Granted they are similar in relation to one another, they're still different...
Yep, I do. Just a terrible mistake to feature speed in nautical miles per hour rather than knots. Check out my newer videos, I have since fixed this problem
where's the shiter or do you have to go in your duty free bag ?
There is a discrepancy in your comment and the projected speeds. You are mentioning MILES PER HOUR and the written values mention KTS which is not the same.
Good day. You are correct. I messed up by stating the speed in nautical miles per hour without mentioning it. Should have either gone with knots or at least convert to the land speed miles for the convenience of my non-aviation viewers.
I'll take a Honda No.?#1..No.2 Cirrus
Nice choices!
First aircraft Embrauer.. 405 knots IS NOT 405 miles per hour. And a nautical mile is NOT a standard mile. 405 knots equates to approx 465mph.
Good day. In the narration I used nautical miles per hour for speed, and displayed knots on the screen. 1 nmph=1 knot. I didn't want to use an unfamiliar term "knots" for the audience not to get confused, and left knots on the screen for the experts. But I do realize my mistake that I should have just used statute miles in the narration. Thanks for the feedback
Got it. But, my considered opinion is,, don't dumb it down. Those that know will understand, those that don't are of two types, those that will never know,, and those that are learning. Of all of these,, the old hands,, the won't ever know,,vs,,,,, those that are learning, and want to learn,, these are the most important. Give them the straight stuff.
That is a very wise suggestion. I will follow it in the future videos. Much appreciated!
Ok, good video, nothing really new to me tho, but, next time you do a video, get your info correct....knots, KNOTS...not MPH....big difference.... don't know why you put the Stratos in here, prototype flew in 2016 and still is not type certified... they have no money... they have priced these at $3-3.5 million each and a program cost of at least $200 million, which they don't have....as of 2020, their website shows a716-certified, but all info is future-tense, which usually means it does not exist yet.... their 716x is a 'prequalified' buyer's kit aircraft, and according to their website they are only offering 3 kits, but have only sold 1... if after 12yrs, company announced in 2008, you haven't made it into actual production, then you'd be doomed to fail... and Stratos will probably fail....
Appreciate the input. I have straightened out the data in my newer videos. No more knots/mph and mi/nm confusion
🎉
MPH and Kts... are not the same.
One day I'll hit the lotto
And when that day comes, which one would you pick?
I will pick the Honda
Very nice choice.
fan-om 100?
Couldn't find much about it. Can you please tell me more about fan-om 100?
Phenom 100
I will buy the Honda
Awesome choice!
It's an Embraer Phenom, NOT Phantom.
Wait a minute, this is exactly how I called the model Phenom 100
