HONDAJET ELITE II
HondaJet Elite II: The Best Gets Better
Evolution of a Revolution
The HondaJet Elite II isn't a new aircraft for sale: it's the HA-420 perfected. Honda took their unconventional winner and asked: How do we make it unbeatable?
The answer - more range, more technology, more capability. The Elite II adds 17% more fuel capacity, improved aerodynamics, and autothrottles - features that transform the pilot workload from managing to monitoring.
What You Notice After Flying It:
The first thing is the engine installation.
The HondaJet's GE Honda HF120 engines sit above the wing rather than on the aft fuselage. It looks unusual. It is unusual. And it gives Honda the freedom to keep the cabin floor relatively open while using the aircraft's aerodynamic design to its advantage.
From the cockpit, though, I am more interested in something else.
Workload.
The Elite II has autothrottle and Garmin Emergency Autoland. You hope you never have to use Autoland. Of course you do. But if something goes badly wrong at 3 a.m. with one pilot in the cockpit, having that system available is a very different proposition from simply having another line of equipment on a specification sheet.
The aircraft is also certified to 43,000 ft.
For a very light jet, that is a useful number.
And 422 KTAS maximum cruise speed means you are not buying a small aircraft and accepting slow travel as the price of entry.

The Numbers That Matter
• Range: 2,865 km (1,547 nm) - coast - to - coast in the US, London to Moscow.
• Speed: 782 km/h (422 knots) - still the fastest VLJ.
• Takeoff: 3,699 ft - access to thousands of airports.
• Landing: 2,717 ft - safety margins that matter.
But the real upgrades are invisible. Garmin Autoland - press the button, and the aircraft lands itself in an emergency. Stabilized approach system - the jet monitors its own energy management. Bongiovi speakerless audio - immersive sound without visible speakers.
The fully enclosed lavatory with ceiling skylights transforms the cabin from "VLJ compromise" to "executive experience". The executive club seating swivels, articulates, and actually supports long flights.

HondaJet Elite II competitors
Before buying a HondaJet Elite II, I would put at least three aircraft on the same piece of paper.
Cessna Citation M2 Gen2 / Range: up to 1,550 nm / Passengers: up to 7.
A very established choice. Straightforward, familiar and worth considering if your priorities lean toward the Citation operating concept.
Embraer Phenom 100EX / Range: 1,178 nm with four occupants / Passengers: up to 7.
A strong alternative with a different cabin and cockpit philosophy. If you are already comfortable with the Embraer ecosystem, it deserves a serious look.
Cirrus Vision Jet / Range: 1,275 nm / Passengers: up to 7.
Completely different concept, including a single-engine layout. Still, if the mission is private travel with a small number of passengers, it belongs in the conversation.
There is no universal winner here.
The right aircraft is the one that works on Tuesday morning, not the one that wins a comparison chart.

The Verdict
The HondaJet Elite II is the aircraft that silences doubters. It proves that the original HondaJet wasn't a fluke - it was the foundation. With autoland capability, transcontinental range, and the efficiency to operate at a fraction of light - jet costs, the Elite II redefines what "personal jet" means.
For the buyer seeking a HondaJet Elite II for sale, you're acquiring the most advanced VLJ ever built. The aircraft that says the future of personal aviation isn't coming - it's here, and it has a Honda badge.
The HondaJet Elite II is worth a serious look if your flying is mostly short and medium business trips, you normally carry a small group and you want speed and altitude without moving into a larger light jet.
It is not the answer to every mission.
That is a good thing.
A good aircraft does not need to pretend it can do everything.
