Honda says that, beginning in 2023, the Elite II will have a new, bespoke avionics suite based on the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck that includes a Stabilized Approach system that provides the pilot with audio and video prompts for a stable landing approach, Autothrottle to reduce the pilot’s workload by keeping the engines within the programmed flight characteristics, and Garmin Emergency Autoland that allows the aircraft to land itself without human assistance. Also, there is a new Ground Spoiler, which maximizes brake efficiency by dumping lift on landing to place more weight on the landing gear.

Outside, the Elite II has the options of a Black Edition or Corporate Scheme Design liveries. Inside, the interior colors now include Onyx, which is a neutral greige cabin theme with mid-tone wood accents; and Steel for a light cool gray theme with high contrast marble accents.

Along with these is new aisle flooring with a hardwood herringbone and plank patterns, a nose-to-tail acoustic system, LED lighting with a soft indigo nighttime setting, and ground illumination for the main entry door. The crew seats even have an extra three inches of legroom and the pilot seats have sheepskin covers.

“The HondaJet Elite II once again pushes the boundaries of its category on all fronts of performance, comfort, and style,” said Hideto Yamasaki, President & CEO of Honda Aircraft Company. “We are also excited to take our aircraft forward on the journey of automation by bringing new technologies to the market next year.”
