Eighty-five percent of business travel
is by car — for now.

A new class of
jet engine being commercialized by a
GE-Honda joint venture could enable
travelers to make 300- to 500-mile
trips three times faster than by car or
commercial airline. The engine (shown
here with the GE90™-115B, the world’s
largest jet engine) could create a new
“on demand” market, which by 2020
could include as many as 2,000 small jet
aircraft flying four to eight passengers
among the vast number of small airports
not served by major airlines.
