Honda Aircraft Company is the aerospace division of Honda Motor Co., Ltd., and the manufacturer of the HondaJet—the world’s most advanced very light jet (VLJ). Headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, Honda Aircraft Company was established to redefine personal and business aviation through innovative design, engineering, and fuel efficiency.
The HondaJet family represents decades of aeronautical research, engineering excellence, and a relentless commitment to efficiency and performance. First conceptualized in the late 1990s, the HondaJet became a production reality in 2015 after rigorous development and FAA certification. It marked Honda’s official entry into the aviation industry and quickly gained acclaim for its groundbreaking design and economical operation.
HondaJet’s most distinctive feature is its Over-the-Wing Engine Mount (OTWEM) configuration. This patented design places two GE Honda HF120 turbofan engines above the wings rather than on the fuselage. The result is reduced cabin noise, increased cabin space, enhanced aerodynamic performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
The HondaJet is constructed with a carbon-composite fuselage that is lighter and stronger than traditional aluminum materials. This allows for:
These capabilities make the HondaJet an excellent choice for private and business travelers looking to fly regionally or even coast-to-coast with one stop.
Designed for up to five to six passengers, the HondaJet features a quiet and spacious cabin for its class, with a modern layout and attention to detail. Passengers enjoy:
Its cabin layout makes it ideal for both business trips and personal travel. It offers passengers a smooth ride and excellent visibility through large windows.
Honda Aircraft Company continues to innovate with newer models, including the HondaJet Elite and Elite II, which offer extended range, advanced safety systems, and upgraded cabin features. These aircraft are built at Honda’s 133-acre campus in Greensboro, NC, which houses R&D, production, and customer support operations.
