American Honda's HondaJet flies over the countryside near Greensboro, North Carolina. 

Cessna Aircraft, Embraer, Eclipse Aviation and Adam Aircraft are also developing small turbofan-powered airplanes for the new very light jet market, (see page 44).

The twin-engine HondaJet has been in development since late 2003 and will make its public debut this week at the Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture sport aircraft exhibition in Oshkosh.
