The revolutionary aircraft is racking up accolades and sales.As if winning the inaugural Flying Innovation Award at AirVenture 2017 wasn’t already a noteworthy accomplishment, HondaJet hasn’t left the spotlight just yet. Honda Aircraft Co. announced this week that the HondaJet was the most delivered light jet of the first half of 2017, with 24 airplanes were shipped out to buyers in North America and Europe. “Our customers are extremely pleased with the performance, comfort and superior fit and finish of the HondaJet,” Honda Aircraft President and CEO Michimasa Fujino said. “The HondaJet is very high tech, sporty aircraft and it is like a flying, high-precision sports car. We want to create new value in business aviation and I hope to see many more HondaJets flying all over the world.” Honda’s Greensboro, North Carolina, facility is producing four HondaJets per month to fulfill that vision and meet current customer demand. The company shouldn’t put the party hats away yet, though, because the HondaJet is on a roll with more good news. Last week, Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) awarded type certification for the HondaJet, which the company announced at the Latin American Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition in Sao Paulo. “We are eager to respond to customer interest in one of the largest business jet markets in the world,” Fujino said at the event. The HondaJet is currently being showcased throughout Central and Latin America. http://www.flyingmag.com/hondajet-is-mo ... AyMjgyOQS2

Considering that Cessna has sold 7 Mustangs and Embraer has sold 7 Phenom 100s, being the 'Most Delivered Light Jet of 2017’s First Half' was a pretty low hurdle to clear.
And the 'seven dwarfs' is a reference to the fairytale of 'snow-white and the seven dwarfs', and not meant as a dig on individuals of short stature.

Are you sure this is true? If it is..... It's pretty telling where the Light Jet industry is headed. There are just too many single pilot jet options.

I wonder if there will be a similar spike in GPU sales? Yeah that's a pretty good one. HondaJet loves a good GPU... It'll sit there all day.

GAMA second quarter shipment report. Not sure what other light jets the Hondajet competes with. The M2 ?

From AIN: Despite the light quarter, Embraer reaffirmed its guidance for the year for deliveries of 70 to 80 Phenom light jets and 35 to 45 of its Legacy and Lineage jets. This would keep the company close to, if not a little below, the 117 business jets delivered last year.Looks like a lot of Phenom buyers wait until the second half of the year.

That's probably the Phenom 300. I see 300's everywhere. Not so much 100's.
