Although two years behind its original development and delivery schedule, HondaJet certification testing is underway and the manufacturer hopes to begin deliveries of the light jet—Honda’s first commercial aircraft—in late 2012. “We’ll try to keep this momentum to keep to the schedule,” says Michimasa Fujino, president/CEO of Honda Aircraft Co.
Once your roller coaster crests the lift hill, gathers momentum and then enters its first hard turn, remember to keep your neck and head aligned with your spine but — this is key – relax your shoulders, torso and butt. That way your body is flexible and will better adapt to the car’s motion and forces, rather than resist them. As a result, you’re more likely to come through the ride unbruised and better able to endure a repetition.
