In an Aviation Week feature, Honda Aircraft Company reflects on two decades of growth from a once-secret research project in Japan to an established business aviation manufacturer headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina. Since Honda Aircraft was founded in 2006, the company has delivered 275 HondaJets worldwide, building its reputation around the aircraft’s distinctive over-the-wing engine configuration and efficient light-jet design. Now entering its next chapter, Honda Aircraft is looking beyond the current HondaJet family as it works toward the larger HondaJet Echelon, positioning the company to compete in a new segment while continuing to expand its global presence.

This week's Electra.aero completed a series of hybrid-electric demonstration flights designed to show how advanced aircraft could connect small community airports with major airline hubs.

Conducted with the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Departments of Transportation, the flights began at Manassas Regional Airport in Virginia and continued through Millville Executive Airport, Atlantic City’s former Bader Field, and Northeast Philadelphia Airport before reaching Philadelphia International Airport. The route demonstrated how smaller aviation facilities could become part of a broader regional transportation network, potentially giving travelers more direct access to major metropolitan areas and airline service.

Uber bets big on Zipline drones.

Uber Eats is preparing to take delivery traffic off the road and into the sky through a new partnership with autonomous drone operator Zipline. The companies plan to begin offering drone deliveries later this year in markets where Zipline already operates, including Dallas and Houston, before expanding to dozens of U.S. cities.

Their goal is ambitious: one million drone deliveries per day by the end of 2029.

Uber is also making an undisclosed strategic investment in Zipline, integrating the company’s aircraft into a delivery network that already includes human couriers and sidewalk robots. Zipline says its drones can carry orders to customers in five to 10 minutes, and the company enters the partnership with more than 2.7 million deliveries and 135 million autonomous miles behind it.

If the rollout succeeds, ordering dinner through Uber Eats could soon involve watching it descend into the backyard!
