2016 HONDA HONDAJET

The HondaJet HA-420 (2015+) is the very-light-jet defined by its over-the-wing engine mount — a design that Honda spent decades developing through computational fluid dynamics analysis and aerodynamic testing before production launch. Twin GE Honda Aero HF120 turbofans mounted on pylons above the wings, ~422 kt cruise, ~1,400-1,547 nm range depending on variant. The over-the-wing position keeps engine noise away from the cabin (resulting in the quietest cabin in the very-light-jet class), eliminates the need for engine pylons inside the fuselage (creating more cabin space), and improves aerodynamic efficiency at cruise. Single-pilot type-certified; Garmin G3000 (or refined variants on later models) avionics. Production at Honda Aircraft's Greensboro, North Carolina facility.
