Honda Aircraft Company has unveiled the name and roadmap for its new light twin-engine aircraft, the HondaJet Echelon.
You might not know this, but Honda’s activities extend far beyond the automotive and motorcycle sectors. From lawnmowers to boat engines, chainsaws, and airplanes, the Japanese manufacturer’s areas of activity are virtually endless.
Honda Aircraft Company announced this week the HondaJet Echelon, its new light business aviation twin-engine aircraft, at the 2023 edition of the National Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (NBAA-BACE).
The aircraft is designed to be the world’s first light single-pilot aircraft capable of non-stop transcontinental flights across the United States. This offering aims to reduce operating costs and creates a owner experience previously inaccessible. Additionally, the design of the HondaJet Echelon incorporates electrification and automation of its systems, which increases pilot capabilities, reduces workload, and enhances safety.
The HondaJet Echelon will be assembled at Honda Aircraft Company’s factory in Greensboro, North Carolina. The initial manufacturing processes are expected to begin in 2024. The first flight is scheduled for 2026, with certification anticipated in 2028.
