Frequently Asked Questions?
What is HondaJet known for and what is unusual about its design?
The HondaJet Elite II is the culmination of 30 years of Honda research: it's the only jet with overwing engines (OTWEM design). This frees the fuselage from structural beams, giving it the quietest and most spacious cabin in the very light jet class, complete with a full lavatory, and the largest baggage compartment (1.87 m³). It also holds class records: a top speed of 782 km/h (460 mph) and a ceiling of 13,100 m (43,500 ft).
How much does the HondaJet cost and how much does it cost to own?
A new Elite II costs approximately $7 million, while used HondaJets from the first production runs from 2016–2018 cost $3.2–4 million. Direct costs are approximately $1,400–1,700 per flight hour: GE Honda HF120 engines with a 5,000-hour service life consume 15–20% less fuel than similar aircraft, thanks to the laminar flow wing. A typical mission is 2–4 passengers over 1,500–2,500 km.
What is the difference between HondaJet and Phenom 100 and Citation M2?
All three are very light jets, priced at $5.5–7 million. The HondaJet is the fastest (782 km/h versus 748 for the M2 and 745 for the Phenom 100EX) and the only one in its class with a separate enclosed lavatory and luggage compartment where suitcases can be loaded without disassembling the cabin. The Citation M2 wins with its reputation and fleet of Citations, while the Phenom 100EX boasts a BMW Designworks interior. All have a range of 2,200–2,900 km.
What country is Honda Aircraft from, how old is the brand, and how many aircraft have been produced?
Honda Aircraft Company, the American division of Honda, headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, was founded in 2006 as a result of 30 years of research. More than 250 HondaJet aircraft—unique jets with overwing engines—have been delivered.
