HondaJet Elite II is the latest step in the evolution of the HondaJet, a very light business jet designed and produced entirely by Honda Aircraft, headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina.  Building on the heritage of nine years of HondaJet products on the aviation market, the HondaJet Elite II is a leading competitor among very light business jets.  The HondaJet Elite II flies faster, further, and higher than any other plane in its class.  The aircraft incorporates the company’s iconic Over-the-Wing Engine Mount (OTWEM) to improve both external performance characteristics and internal passenger comfort.

The HondaJet Elite II is powered by two GE Honda Aero HF120 jet engines, designed to maximize fuel economy and performance.  The HF120 engine has passed fuel tests utilizing a 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) fuel blend.

The HondaJet Elite II also introduces new control features to the HondaJet lineage, such as automated ground spoilers, which provide additional stability close to the ground.  Federal Aviation Administration approval of an autothrottle system, a first for a jet in this category, is nearing completion, with the approval process for a full rollout of Emergency Auto-Landing capabilities planned to follow.
