Honda Jet Elite Making Jet Manufacturers Sweat in Private Jet Industry

Jul 29, 2022

Opa-locka,United States - July 29, 2022 /PressCable/ —

The Honda Aircraft Company continues to impress and it’s making competitors nervous. Why..for one Honda Jets are the most delivered aircraft in its class for five years in a row, based on data provided by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). During 2021, Honda Aircraft Company delivered 37 aircraft to customers around the world.

“I am humbled and honored that the Honda Jet continues to be selected by our owners and operators as we expand our global fleet,” said Honda Aircraft Company President and CEO Michimasa Fujino. “Being the best-selling aircraft in our class for five consecutive years is a reflection of the Honda Aircraft team’s commitment to offering our customers a product of the highest performance, quality, and our maturity as a leader in the aviation industry. We will continue to bring new value to the industry and provide superior service and support to customers.”

What makes the Honda Jet unique? Is it the engine placement? Is it the amazing design? Is it that it can boast that is is “Made in the USA” and provides high paying jobs and was cited when the FAA awarded Honda Aircraft Company with the “Diamond level AMT employer award,” …the highest level in the William (Bill) O’Brien Aviation Maintenance Technician Awards program, in recognition of the skill and professionalism of Honda Aircraft’s maintenance technicians.

Whatever is the reason, they don’t seem to be stopping and have an amazing prototype with the Honda Jet 2600 that will change the industry forever.

About the Honda Jet Elite S

Honda Jet Elite S is a new light business jet introduced in May 2021. This jet is one of the most advanced light jets in the world. It is also the fastest, goes the farthest and reaches the highest altitudes for any aircraft in its class.

It comes with improved aviation technology. The Elite S jet offers increased range compared to older models. It is the latest addition to the Honda Jet family of aircraft and an upgraded version of the Honda Jet Elite, which was launched in 2018.

Honda Jet Elite S Design Details

Honda Jet Elite S has a length of 42.6ft (12.99m), height of 14.9ft (4.54m) and wingspan of 39.7ft (12.12m). The aircraft’s interior is 17.8ft (5.43m) long, 5ft (1.52m) wide and 4.83ft (1.47m) tall.

The maximum take-off weight of the jet has been increased by 200lb (91kg), which allows it to fly an additional 222km with extra payload or an additional passenger. More cargo and more people!

The jet is made of composite materials. The the fuselage is lighter and stronger, allowing it to fly higher and use less fuel. The engines are placed over the wing to minimize aerodynamic shock wave and increase the aircraft’s top speed of 485mph. The over-the-wing configuration also creates more externally accessible cargo space in the nose and back and mange to keep a noise-free cabin space to provide a quieter ride…simply amazing.

The natural laminar flow on the main wing and fuselage is designed to enable a smooth airflow over the aircraft’s surface. This minimizes air resistance and improves the performance in terms of range, fuel efficiency and speed.

The Honda Jet Elite S has 66ft³ of baggage space in the combined stowage, including 57ft³ in the aft compartment and 9ft³ in the nose compartment.

The cabin is made to feel luxurious and comfortable and includes four fully adjustable leather seats placed in a classic club configuration. It also features two stowable executive tables, and a optional side-facing fifth seat and three electronic dimm windows. A galley can be installed in place of the 5th seat if wanted.

Passengers can use their personal mobile devices to control the cabin’s lighting, audio and temperature via an advanced control handheld pad. The Elite S business jet also features new exterior styling with exclusive paint schemes like luxe gold, gunmetal and deep-sea blue. The standard product offering features the signature Elite S logo, a bold red S, but customers can also opt for further customization and we’ve seen some beautiful paint schemes at FBOs.

Cockpit and avionics of Honda Jet Elite S

The Elite S features an ergonomically designed cockpit and customized avionics suite based on the Garmin G3000. The advanced avionics improve the efficiency of communication and reduce the workload of the pilot which increases safety.

The latest US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Data Communications (Data Comm) standard and Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) avionics features enable efficient communication by replacing traditional voice commands with text-based messaging from the console.

It can be used for communication regarding departure clearance, en route services and air traffic services. Communications between controllers and pilots traditionally involved radio voice communications for passing on clearance and other flight information to pilots.

Voice communications can be prone to miscommunications leading and errors. The FAA’s Data Comm standard aims to minimize such errors and allows air traffic control (ATC) and pilots to communicate flight plans, instructions, clearances, flight crew requests and other important communications with the touch of a button.

The COM3 feature of the aircraft’s software is intended to empower the operator to turn off the datalink mode of the radio and use it as a third very high frequency (VHF) channel for enhanced dispatch reliability.

This jet truly is a pilots dream and assists them greatly to make aircraft operations. Noble Air Charter is looking at acquiring 50 of these Jets if possible for North American service.

Delos Santos claims bronze in Asian Games debut

YOUNG blood Albert Ian Delos Santos made a grand entrance in his Asian Games debut, setting new junior World and Asian records to capture the bronze medal in the men’s 70-kilogram weightlifting event at the Nagoya City Trade and Industry Centre in Japan. As the youngest competitor in the nine-man field, the promising weightlifter lifted a total of 324 kg—154 kg in the snatch and 183 kg in the clean and jerk—to secure his spot on the podium. Serving as Team Philippines’ flag-bearer, Delos Santos eclipsed his previous junior mark of 321 kg (141 kg snatch, 180 kg clean and jerk), which he set at the Asian Youth & Junior Championships in August. While Delos Santos previously recorded a total lift of 326 kg in the 71 kg class at the IWF World Championships, the International Weightlifting Federation restructured its bodyweight categories in 2026, establishing 70 kg and 71 kg as separate divisions. Coming from a proud lineage of weightlifters—his late father Alvin was a former Southeast Asian Games gold medalist and coach, and his mother Diwa was a former national lifter—an emotional Delos Santos held up a photo of his father following his victory. North Korea’s Won Ju Ri claimed the gold medal with a total lift of 349 kg (151 kg snatch, 198 kg clean and jerk), while Japan’s Masanori Miyamoto took silver with 342 kg (154 kg snatch, 188 kg clean and jerk). Meanwhile, Japan’s 11-year-old eSports prodigy Yuki Kurihara won Asian Games gold on Saturday in style after thrashing a series of opponents up to three times his age. The bespectacled primary school student, believed to be the youngest competitor at the Games in Aichi-Nagoya, won the Puyo Puyo Champions final 10-2. He is host country Japan’s youngest athlete in Asian Games history. Puyo Puyo Champions is a puzzle game where players try to clear their screen of coloured blobs by lining them up and popping them. Look unruffled throughout, Kurihara waltzed into the gold-medal match with a series of dazzling displays. He crushed Thailand’s Tanarak Wongkitkun -- a relative veteran at 28 -- 10-1 in the semi-finals to ensure at least a silver medal.

Underdog Alas faces tough South Korea

THE Alas Pilipinas men’s national volleyball team faces a steep uphill battle as it opens its 2026 Asian Games campaign against a formidable South Korean squad on Sunday at the Park Arena Komaki in Komaki, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The game is set at 12 noon (Manila time). Slated in Pool D alongside South Korea, China and Taiwan, Alas Pilipinas must secure at least two victories to finish among the top two in the pool and advance to the quarterfinals. Currently ranked 114th in the world, the underdog Philippine team will need Italian head coach Angiolino Frigoni to work his tactical magic against higher-ranked opponents—South Korea (25th), China (34th), and Taiwan (55th). Nevertheless, Alas aims to defy the odds by drawing confidence from its historic FIVB World Championship victory over then-World No. 21 Egypt. To mount its campaign, the national squad has retained its full FIVB World Championship roster. Heavy hitters Bryan Bagunas and Marck Espejo lead the outside hitters alongside Buds Buddin and Jude Garcia, while Leo Ordiales and John Lirck Mendoza anchor the opposite position. Middle blockers Lloyd Josafat, Peng Taguibolos, and Joshua Magalaman, together with libero Josh Ybañez, round out the defensive and net efforts. Adding a crucial boost to the lineup, star playmaker Owa Retamar arrived in Japan following a long-haul flight from Poland, where his club team, Ordu, released him from training camp to answer the national call. Retamar expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to represent the country across the SEA Games, World Championship, and now the Asian Games, emphasizing that playing for the national team goes beyond contracts and obligations as the team unites to focus on supporting each other. “This goes beyond contracts or obligations. When the country calls, you play for something bigger than yourself. I’m grateful to Ordu for allowing me to represent the Philippines, and after the Asian Games, I will return with the same commitment to fulfill my responsibilities to the club,” Retamar said. The setter made sure to not waste any chance to represent the Philippines. “This is for the young Owa who had all of these on his bucket list—to play in the SEA Games, the World Championship, and now the Asian Games. Playing with the Philippine team will always be a mix of excitement and challenge. Let’s set aside the noise and focus on supporting each other and playing as one team.”
