HondaJet

The HondaJet private jet, developed by Honda Aircraft Company, redefined the very light jet (VLJ) category with its unique over-the-wing engine mount design. Known for superior aerodynamics, fuel economy, and a quiet cabin, the HondaJet is a favorite among owner-operators and small charter fleets for short-range executive missions.
