Honda has long established itself as a first-class manufacturer of reliable cars. It took the company 30 years to achieve success in the aviation sector. That is how long it took the company to create a light-class administrative aircraft from scratch. TheHondaJet Elite was designed for short- and medium-range flights. The HondaJet is manufactured entirely in Northern California, USA.

The business jet's cabin seats 4 passengers and is designed with four individual seats with multiple adjustments and plane movement capabilities. From the factory it is possible to order a layout where instead of a kitchenette (with storage sections and coffee maker) there will be a 5th seat facing the entrance. The main differences from the competitors are the presence of a full-fledged toilet room with a sink, separated from the passenger cabin by a wooden partition with a door, as well as a multimedia entertainment system. Dimensions of the cabin will also pleasantly please passengers.
According to technical characteristics HondaJet HA 420 was created to outperform: climbing speed up to 1215 metres per minute, maximum flight altitude 13 000 metres, cruising speed up to 777 kilometres per hour. The main technical innovation that immediately catches the eye is the engines mounted above the wings. This unusual positioning of the engines has reduced the vibration level on the fuselage and as a result the noise level in the cabin has been reduced. Engineers also managed to reduce aerodynamic drag by means of a new shape of the wing and the nose of the fuselage (Natural Laminar Flow), which reduced fuel consumption. Unlike competitors, Honda widely uses composite materials in the manufacture of both the airframe and other parts of the aircraft.
Locating the engine on the wings also allowed for a more spacious luggage compartment. 1.87 cubic metres is indeed an achievement for the private light-jet class. The HondaJet 420 is fitted with a state-of-the-art avionics suite manufactured by Garmin, model G3000. Pilots receive information through 3 fourteen inch monitors and two touch screens.

The Japanese corporation approached the creation of HondaJet extremely pedantic and meticulous. While the first flight took place in 2003, the first aircraft was delivered to the owner only in 2015. All this time the company has been refining and testing the new business jet model and its engines. The HondaJet has in-house designed and manufactured engines, unlike most other business jets.
The HondaJet is currently priced at $5.3 million. A three-year-old HondaJet can be found on the market for around US$ 3.75 million. The price depends on the overall technical condition, flight hours since inception and equipment. We are delighted to offer HondaJet for a lease program. Minimum period starts from 3 months.
