Take a look at what's going on at the world's largest business aviation event.

Gulfstream brought the G650, which company executives say is on target to enter service next year.

Gulfstream also brought the G280, which has exceeded original performance specs, according to a recent company announcement.

Cessna came to the show with a wide variety of aircraft, as well as mock-up interiors of the new Latitude and M2.

Shown here is a CJ4 on display.

On Sunday Embraer announced one of its new Legacy 650 customers, Jackie Chan.

Chan will serve as the company's new brand ambassador.

Honda Aircraft brought its much anticipated VLJ to the convention, along with the announcement that engine problems will delay certification of the aircraft until 2013.

According to Honda Aircraft CEO Michimasa Fujino, the problems relate to "minor damage" found in the engines during the test phase for icing conditions.

The bad news was slightly offset by the announcement that the company is expanding its Greensboro facilities with a $20 million new building.
