Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N420EA, is a Honda HA-420 HondaJet with serial number 42000016. Built and operated by its manufacturer, the Honda Aircraft Company, the airframe has been retained by the factory as a corporate-operated demonstrator/asset based in Greensboro, NC, US. The aircraft carries a US registration and has an assessed value of $4,850,000, reflecting a factory-owner condition and typical system fit for the model. Notable registry actions are limited to corporate ownership and operation from the manufacturer’s Greensboro base.
The cabin of this HA-420 is fitted in the common executive configuration of 1 + 5/6 seating, providing flexible layouts for single-pilot operation with passenger accommodation typical of light business jets. Avionics installations align with typical HA-420 specifications and include the Garmin G3000 integrated flightdeck, supporting single-pilot IFR operations and modern situational awareness. Operated and based by the Honda Aircraft Company in Greensboro, NC, the aircraft is used in roles consistent with manufacturer demonstrations, ferry flights, and corporate transport over the HA-420’s effective range of 1,206 nm at a cruise of 422 kts. Maintenance and operational considerations reflect factory ownership, with OEM-supported HW/SW updates and GE Honda HF120 engine maintenance paths managed under manufacturer programs.
The HA-420 HondaJet occupies the light business jet niche with emphasis on efficiency and speed, delivering a maximum cruise near 422 kts and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft, competitive with peer entry-level light jets. Typical competitors include other entry-level light jets that offer similar mission profiles for short- to mid-range corporate travel; buyer and charter demand tends to favor proven support networks and factory services. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its corporate ownership, full OEM maintenance traceability, and the presence of the GE Honda HF120 engines, which have defined support pathways and cost profiles that inform secondary-market valuations.
