AIRCRAFT SPOTLIGHT: HONDAJET ELITE<br />
In May 2018, the HondaJet Elite was unveiled. The Elite model<br />
incorporates the original, key innovations – the OTWEM<br />
configuration, the Natural Laminar Flow design , and a composite<br />
fuselage. In addition to these original technologies, the Elite is<br />
further defined enabling the aircraft to fly farther with less noise<br />
pollution. Powered by the GE Honda Aero Engines HF120 producing<br />
over 2,000-pounds of thrust, the Elite can fly 1,437 nautical miles<br />
(2,661 km) and has a maximum cruising altitude of 43,000 feet<br />
(13,106 miles).<br />
The ergonomically designed cockpit is enhanced with more<br />
safety features and a customized Garmin® G3000 avionics suite,<br />
which includes three 14.1-inch high-definition displays and two<br />
touchscreens. In the cabin, passengers can enjoy a full-service<br />
galley, a private lavatory with optional belted seat and the exclusive<br />
Bongiovi sound system. The cabin seats four passengers, which<br />
are each set on a ball-joint system, enabling the seats to be easily<br />
moved forward, backward and sideways. Cabin controls are also<br />
left up to the passengers with a touchpad controller, making it easy<br />
to control lights, audio, climate and more.<br />
The price of the HondaJet Elite is around US$5.2 million. Owners<br />
can choose one of three exterior colors: Ice Blue, Monarch Orange,<br />
or Ruby Red.<br />
