GENERAL DESCRIPTION

INTRODUCTION

The HondaJet Model HA-420 aircraft, manufactured by Honda Aircraft
Company, is a single-pilot certified, carbon fiber fuselage, all metal wing
with a twin pylon mounted turbo fan Over-The-Wing Engine Mount
(OTWEM) configuration monoplane with a T-Tail empennage.
The high-aspect ratio wings are constructed with a combination of
conventional riveted techniques and milled wing skins containing
integrated structures providing an airfoil with Natural Laminar Flow. The
under-fuselage wing carry through joining the left and right wings is
aluminum with the aircraft fuselage mounted above. Primary flight
controls are fully reversible ailerons, rudder, and elevators that are
manually controlled through cables, bell cranks, and push pull tubes.
Electrically-actuated trim tabs are installed for all three axes. Flaps are
electrically actuated.
The carbon fiber fuselage is constructed with a combination of co-cured
and honeycomb sandwich structures allowing for light weight structure
and a fuselage nose shape maximizing Natural Laminar Flow to reduce
aerodynamic drag. There are two external baggage compartments, one in
the nose and the other in the tail. The cabin holds four passengers in a
club seating arrangement and is equipped with a lavatory in the aft
section.
Thrust is provided by two GE Honda HF-120 turbofan engines producing
1997 lbs. of thrust. Fuel is provided by each respective wet wing and
additional fuel can be stored in the under fuselage carry through and an
aft fuselage tank.
