that front nose looks pretty deadly, imagine if the plane doesn't stop in time and spears the marshaller

that thing's a pitot tube, it's there for now to measure airspeed properly and stuff, when it's in production it wont be in the front anymore, but i think it looks kinda ugly without it....and a bit ugly with it actually....the thing looks kinda ugly overall lol.

Honda should put that type of passion and effort back into making good cars. CRZ was a total flop.

Honda has never been a "car company" to begin with. It's always Honda Motors Corp.

i.e. Anything with an engine, they'll try to do it.

Definitely not a fan of the engine placement.

And, who needs to retract landing gear? Fuel efficiency is for suckers!

I was wondering the same thing?

Maybe a failure?
Something to do with safety being one of the early flights?

Regardless, I love the sound when it takes off.
Secksy!
