Honda of the world, competing in the aircraft industry! ! Honda has begun in earnest in aircraft jet engine business. It not only equipped business jet deliveries next year to Honda Jet, put the emphasis on external sales. Western bias has dominated the top, heavy equipment manufacturers such as IHI is at the center also domestic, hurdle of new entrants is high aircraft engine market. But, armed with expertise in the car, Honda is trying to open the air hole. Hondas culture of Honda is building the engine best in the world (such as general purpose and for four-wheel) engine company. Basically. Torch is of that with their own hands. Briefing opened with headquarters in Aoyama, Tokyo on the 16th of this month. Waragai (Waragai) AtsushiKuni Director of Honda R & D that was any reason that involved their own jet engine, was described by citing the words of Takeo Fujisawa, who laid the foundation of Honda with Soichiro Honda Founder. Presentation and selection of repair base of the engine, the construction of service centers in Europe and North America in the 21st. With Honda Jet, I have developed a sales posture steadily. To begin with another manufacturer is responsible for the airframe or engines in general aviation industry. Aircraft has a high market share rice and General Electric (GE) rice Pratt & Whitney (P & W), the British Rolls-Royce Europe and Airbus Boeing, the engine. But, Honda to develop not only the airframe, engine also. In fact, a long history of development of the jet engine Honda began research in the 1960s. The full-scale development opened the Fundamental Technology Research Center in 1986. Alongside one heavy vehicles of 2 minutes, automatic operation, the robot, aircraft and jet engine is set to the main theme. Joint venture with GE in 2004 was a big step forward in the commercialization Honda GE establishment. It is necessary to obtain safety certification from (FAA) Federal Aviation Administration is standard of the world is to fly placed on passenger aircraft actually the engine. But its just slip through their difficult (Waragai directors). Including also test facility if the Khmer GE, design technology and know-how of certification is because entering the hand. The high-pressure turbine in the very GE, has acquired the type approval of the FAA at the end of last year a joint venture to develop HF120 engine, a combination of technologies such as fuel control Honda has cultivated in four-wheel. Fuel economy is improved by 10% or more compared to competitive products, environmental impact is small and long life. Price is high, but (performance) and to differentiate so that it does not enter into price competition Its (the) aim. Honda, forecast market size of business jets in the same class and Honda jet is to expand to 300-400 aircraft in 20. 2 strength of the United States Williams and P & W are monopolized engines, snort rough with the aim to sell one third of the market in the future (up). It is thought to earn the number of the engine by increasing the sales of Honda jet that orders more than 100 aircraft, you want to top up further external sales. Journey is expected to take most more than five years to profitability, to contribute to the revenue of the group to recover the investment is long. Such as after-sales service as well as product is also essential to be successful in the airline industry. Yoshiharu Yamamoto, still president of the Honda Technical Research Institutes bullish to be in business that was stable (such as income replacement parts) Once youve sold a number there. There is an advantage that through the jet engine development, are connected to, such as improvement of turbo technology of the car. How can far to continue set a torch. Challenge spirit of Honda is tried.
