After unveiling the new Elite II there was a mockup on display at Orlando Executive Airport (ORL) during the NBAA-BACE convention in October. The sleek black design of the HondaJet Elite II garnered attention.
Last year at NBAA, HondaJet showed off a mockup of its HondaJet 2600 concept. A company representative told GlobalAir.com that the aircraft is still a couple of years out from testing but exciting progress is being made and more details should be shared in early 2023.
