Thought the engine is a joint venture between Honda and GE. Correct me if I am wrong.


Now, which jet am I going to buy after I hit the lottery? Not the Gulfstream. Not the LearJet. The Honda Jet! ROFLOL!

The engine is a Honda design. I'm sure they had some help, but my understanding is that it's primarily theirs.

The name of the engine is HF-118 and it does sound like its all Honda's work, which makes wonder why they got the GE involved.

HF-118

Turbo fan with 2stage compressor both axial and centrifugal and 2 stage turbine...NICE .

I'd get the jet, then put some Volks on it and some VTEC stickers.
