A patented over-the-wing engine-mount (OTWEM) configuration eliminates the carry-through structure of conventional fuselage-mount designs, allowing for greater use of fuselage space for the cabin and cargo areas. It also produces less drag at high speeds than conventional “clean wing” designs, contributing significantly to HondaJet’s superior performance and fuel efficiency.

A natural-laminar flow (NLF) wing and NLF fuselage nose were helping achieve lower aerodynamic drag at high speeds together with a high lift coefficient.

An advanced all-composite fuselage structure, consisting of a unique combination of honeycomb sandwich and stiffened panels structures joined using a patented integral co-curing process, reduces weight for optimal performance and payload capacity, while also reducing manufacturing complexity.

The HondaJet has increased speed, range and engine thrust. It comes in two interior configurations: with seating for seven (2 pilots and 5 passengers) in standard configuration and with seating for eight (2 pilots and six forward-facing passenger seats) in air taxi configuration.

HondaJet’s cabin offers its passengers unprecedented levels of comfort with as much as six inches more leg room (per passenger) than competitive offerings. HondaJet’s 57 cubic-foot AFT cargo hold is as much as 50 percent larger than other jets in its class. Additional cargo storage is provided by a nine cubic-foot nose cargo hold.

The fuselage, wing fairing and winglet, among other parts are made of carbon composite. It has a new type of Glass cockpit where a lot of information is displayed on a flat display, which is different from the conventional cockpit where individual pieces of information are displayed on different flight instruments.
