Flutter Characteristics of an Over-the-Wing Engine Mount Business-Jet Configuration
Wave-Drag Characteristics of an Over-the-Wing Nacelle Business-Jet Configuration
Natural-Laminar-Flow Airfoil Development for a Lightweight Business Jet
Design and Development of the HondaJet
Additionally, Initial Flight Test of the HondaJet is available from the International Congress of Aeronautics 2004 proceedings.
