The HondaJet is the shining hope of the personal jet industry. The engine's manufacturer, GE Honda Aero—a partnership between Honda and General Electric's aviation branch—equipped the aircraft with two powerful HF120 engines, which are mounted above the wings. Together, the engines produce 4,100 pounds of thrust that takes the aircraft to its 43,000-foot flight ceiling—2,000 feet higher than that of the Cessna Citation Mustang and Embraer Phenom 100 entry-level jets, and at a considerably faster climb rate. It has a range of approximately 1,350 miles and seats four passengers in a cabin that is 5 feet wide, 4.8 feet tall, and 12.1 feet long. Here is a glimpse of the aircraft. http://robbreport.com/aviation/pilots-delight
