Honda is seriously diversifying its offerings with the HondaJet, a light-weight aircraft that got approval to fly by the Federal Aviation Administration in December.

The HondaJet has been a $2 billion, 30-years-in-the-making project, according to Forbes. But after more than 3,000 hours of flight testing in 70 locations, Michimasa Fujino, the founding president and CEO of the Honda Aircraft Company, got the HondaJet off the ground.

The HondaJet received Part 23 certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) December 9, giving Honda the go-ahead to put the innovative jet into production. The first US deliveries began December 23, 2015 and European deliveries began in April. It's currently awaiting approval to fly in Canada. There have been 14 deliveries to-date.
