Subaru Bizjet...No...Really
Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), who make the Subaru, are looking at manufacturing a Subaru branded light bizjet.
It's actually not as whack as it sounds, FHI started as Nakajima Aircraft Company in the early 20th century, and it made the T-7 trainers for the JASDF, and is a major structures subcontractor to Boeing, so the basic know-how is there.
Still, I think that going with the Subaru brand for a business jet???
The intersection of Subaru owners, and business jet owners seems awfully small.
That has fail written all over it.
