Following a 10-year development process, the HondaJet is now a reality.The HondaJet Elite was launched in May 2018 with added range, taking it to 1,437nm. The HondaJet incorporates a number of unique features, the most noticeable being its unusual wing-mounted engines. These allow greater cabin space and dramatically improve fuel consumption. Combined with the innovative ‘natural laminar flow’ wings, the aircraft is 25 – 30% more fuel-efficient than rival aircraft, which makes it able to operate at lower operational costs.
