Was watching the NHK new last night.  There was a story on it.  Are the build the shells somewhere near Kyoto?

It seems they are using the old Zero factory and this may be the same place the new japanese fighters are produced. At least an airplane production capacity of several thousand a year hints to this, since i don't think they will sell this many civilian planes. Otherwise, it's a nice regional jet with a classic design.
