HondaJet

The HondaJet is a light business jet developed and manufactured by Honda Aircraft Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honda Motor Co. The aircraft is designed to combine efficient fuel economy with a small cabin for 4 to 5 passengers and two crew. Development began in the 1990s, with the first prototype flying on December 3, 2003 (HA-420). The design features over-the-wing engines, which are mounted above the wing to reduce cabin noise, improve efficiency, and provide a larger cabin.

The HondaJet is powered by two General Electric Honda HF120 turbofan engines. The type underwent FAA certification in 2015, and deliveries began that year. Since introduction, Honda Aircraft has produced several variants, including the HondaJet Elite, which offers increased range and cabin amenities, and the later Elite S variant with further performance improvements.

The jet is marketed as a compact, high-performance option for corporate flight and private use, with typical missions ranging from short hops to transcontinental trips depending on configuration. It competes with light business jets from other manufacturers.

Operational footprint includes Honda Aircraft's headquarters in Greensboro, North Carolina, with global service and support networks via authorized centers.
