The most-delivered aircraft in its class, and the most distinctive jet on any ramp — over-the-wing engines, a carbon-fiber fuselage, and Honda's engineering DNA. Single-pilot, charter-capable, and financed like the well-understood asset it's become.
The HondaJet (HA-420) earned FAA certification in December 2015 after a development program that, in one form or another, reached back to the 1980s. It is the first aircraft Honda has ever produced, and it shows the company's engineering signature everywhere — most visibly in the over-the-wing engine mount (OTWEM), which frees the cabin of the structural carry-through that intrudes on rival jets, and in the carbon-fiber fuselage. For multiple years it has been the most-delivered aircraft in its class.
For all its distinctiveness, the HondaJet finances conventionally: it's a twin-turbofan light jet at the turbine rate, single-pilot type-rated, with a growing service network and enough delivery history that lenders can value the collateral confidently. Its twin-engine redundancy and ~1,400+ nm range make it a genuine charter aircraft as well as an owner-flown one.
The newer HondaJet Echelon — a larger, transcontinental light jet — is in development; buyers eyeing it should confirm the current program timeline with Honda Aircraft, and we can structure pre-delivery financing around it.
The current Elite II and the developmental Echelon. The Elite II is the financeable, flying asset today.
The HondaJet's case is speed, cabin, and efficiency from the OTWEM design. Here's the data behind the decision.
| Aircraft | Market price | Down (15%) | Loan | Est. monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elite II (new) | $7,000,000 | $1,050,000 | $5,950,000 | $43,803 |
| Pre-owned HA-420 | $4,500,000 | $675,000 | $3,825,000 | $28,159 |
| Metric | HondaJet | Cross-shop note |
|---|---|---|
| Engines | 2× HF120 | twin redundancy vs single Vision Jet |
| Cruise | ~422 KTAS | among the fastest VLJs |
| Design | OTWEM + carbon fuselage | frees cabin of spar carry-through |
| Charter-capable | Yes | twin + range suit 135 placement |
| Deliveries | Class leader | most-delivered in class, multiple years |
To charter the HondaJet for revenue, it must be on your operator's D085 Operations Specifications. Financing and certificate placement happen together — we structure both.
A ready package closes a HondaJet in about two business days from pre-approval.
Distinctive airplane, conventional financing — done right. Give us the tail number and we'll structure the deal around the actual aircraft, program and all. Soft pull, pre-approval in about two business days.
