AVWEB'S
FRIDAY PODCAST:
Click here to listen. Bonus Audio! Everyone knows Honda is building a jet -- but at the same time, they're building an engine, along with some help from General Electric. Although few (even in the industry) know it, Honda isn't exactly a newcomer to the jet engine business, having begun work on the HF118 that will power the HondaJet some 20 years ago. And that experience is why GE thinks the HF118 will sail through its certification paces. In this podcast from Aviation Consumer, you'll hear the Honda story from GE's Mark Wagoner and Rick Kennedy. Click here to listen. Brought to you byBose Corporation. New to podcasts and audio news? You don't need an iPod (or any other special equipment) to listen! Our podcast is a simple .mp3 audio file.

The planets aligned for the general aviation industry in 2006 with
growth in sales of corporate aircraft roughly matching the bottom lines
of the people who buy the airplanes. What with Cessna taking on
Gulfstream and Gulfstream taking on Boeing for the top end of the
market, is there any end in sight for the GA boom? The Teal
Group's Richard Aboulafia recently spoke with AVweb about a
very prosperous year for aviation companies and how the future
looks.
