HondaJet Overview
The HondaJet is a very light jet manufactured by Honda Aircraft Company, produced from 2015-present. Classified as a light-cabin aircraft, the HondaJet carries up to 6 passengers at a maximum cruise speed of 422 knots with a range of 1,223 nautical miles — placing it squarely in the charter and corporate flight segment for regional missions.
The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 33 active HondaJet registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x GE Honda HF120, each producing 2,050 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 422 knots (Mach 0.72), with a long-range cruise of 385 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 43,000 feet puts the HondaJet well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 4,000 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 1,223 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the HondaJet handles short-haul regional flights connecting major metropolitan areas within a few hundred miles. Typical hourly operating costs range from $1,600-$2,200 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The HondaJet cabin measures 12.1 ft long, 5.0 ft wide, and 4.8 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 6 passengers, with 66 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Garmin G3000 avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Evolution & Market Position
Revolutionary over-the-wing engine mount design reduces cabin noise and drag. For those considering acquisition or evaluating options to sell, understanding the transition between variants is essential for informed decision-making. Well-maintained HondaJet aircraft remain sought after in the pre-owned market, with strong demand from both private owners and charter operators.
