Very light business jet

HondaJet Elite II for Sale

Engines on top of the wing, and a button that lands the jet for you.

The jet with its engines on top of the wing. Honda mounted the HF120 engines above the wing to free cabin space, then shaped the nose and wing for laminar flow. The Elite II, unveiled in October 2022, adds more range, autothrottle and Garmin Emergency Autoland, which can land the jet by itself if the pilot cannot.

Honda Aircraft built a custom HondaJet for Tom Cruise. The Elite II cruises at 422 kt and flies 1,547 nm, enough for London to Ibiza or New York to Miami. ICCJET sources HondaJets of every version on and off market.

The cabin

Can you stand up inside a HondaJet Elite II?

No, and nobody in this class can. The cabin is 1.42 m high, so adults bow their heads to walk in and sit comfortably. What you get instead is 5.38 m of cabin length.

Cabin size 5.38 m long, 1.52 m wide, about 1.42 to 1.47 m high
Passengers Up to 7
Baggage About 62 cu ft (1.75 m3), nose and aft
In practice The engines sit above the wing, not in the cabin tail, so the cabin is roomier than the size suggests. Adults bow their heads to walk in

Routes

10 routes the way an owner flies them

The HondaJet Elite II duel. Pick a rival, pick a route and race them. Gold is the HondaJet Elite II. Watch who lands nonstop and who stops for fuel, then switch to Who gets where: the gold cities are the ones only the HondaJet Elite II reaches nonstop.

Distances are great-circle from the business aviation airport of each city; times use 422 kt plus 20 minutes, in still air. Nonstop means the distance is under 90% of the 1,547 nm range, a margin for winds. A fuel stop adds about an hour on the ground.

Ride quality

Turbulence: how the HondaJet Elite II rides

Honest answer: a very light jet feels more of the bumps than a heavy one. The cure is altitude: the Elite II climbs to 43,000 ft, above most weather. Its ceiling is 43,000 ft.

In the press

Who flies a HondaJet Elite II

The HondaJet is a jet owners like to fly themselves. These are press reports; ICCJET never discusses its own clients.

Tom Cruise Honda Aircraft unveiled a custom HondaJet built for him at NBAA in 2019
Owner-pilots Many HondaJets are flown by their owners

What the list tells a buyer: this is a jet for people who want to be in the left seat. Training and insurance matter as much as the purchase.

Incidents

Safety record and history

Mesa, Arizona In November 2024 a HondaJet failed to get airborne at Falcon Field, went through the airport fence and hit a car; five people died

The honest view: on a light jet, runway length and performance planning are everything. Check every runway against the numbers, wet and dry, before you go.
