43,000 feet with a range of 1,357 miles. is jet has an Over-e-Wing Mount
configuration, composite fuselage and natural laminar flow wing for a lightweight
flight experience. e jet is powered by HF120 turbofans produced by GE Honda

traveling between the company's 42 US manufacturing sites. HondaJet is planning
on delivering 50 jets in 2015 and 80 in 2016.
