Intuitive Human-Machine Interface: Automated Anti-Ice, Lighting and Pressurization Systems provide convenience and reduced workload for pilots.

ELITE POWER

Powered by a pair of GE Honda/ HF120 engines, producing 2050 lbf/each, the Elite II is the fastest, highest, and farthest flying aircraft in its class. Range has been expanded to 1,547 nautical miles, extending the jet’s reach to more destinations while maintaining its position as the most furl efficient jet in its class. Honda Aircraft Company also plans to introduce Autothrottle and Emergency Autoland by the end of 2023, while ground spoilers complete the Elite II’s performance upgrades, optimising takeoff and landing field performance.

“The HondaJet Elite II once again pushes the boundaries of its category on all fronts of performance, comfort, and style,” said Hideto Yamasaki, President & CEO of Honda Aircraft Company. “We are also excited to take our aircraft forward on the journey of automation by bringing new technologies to the market next year.”
