Featuring a sleek composite fuselage and an innovative over-the-wing engine mount configuration, the HondaJet Elite II is a true engineering marvel. Propelled by two GE Honda HF120 engines, each generating an impressive 2,050 pounds of thrust, this aircraft offers an exceptional combination of power and efficiency.
With the ability to take off on runways as short as 3,699 feet (1,128 meters) and cover distances of up to 1,547 nautical miles (2,865 km) with four occupants on board, the Elite II provides unparalleled performance. Honda proudly claims that their model offers the largest cabin in its class, ensuring passengers can travel in ultimate comfort and style.
Step inside the Elite II, and you'll be greeted by an interior designed for pure luxury. Enhanced acoustic treatments throughout the cabin and a state-of-the-art Bongiovi aviation audio system create a serene and immersive experience. The executive club arrangement, with its two-tone leather seats that articulate and swivel, guarantees optimized comfort. The fully-enclosed lavatory adds to the aircraft's exclusivity, providing a private and inviting space for passengers.
However, the most groundbreaking feature of the HondaJet Elite II is its Emergency Autoland system. Designed to autonomously control and land the aircraft without human intervention, this technology serves as a safety net in case of pilot incapacitation. With the Emergency Autoland function, Honda ensures the well-being of its occupants remains a top priority.
While pricing details are yet to be disclosed, the Elite II has already received type certification from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and is expected to obtain certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency in the near future.
