Honda isn't just a carmaker.
Honda Motors established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Honda Aircraft Company, in August 2006 to produce light twin-engine private jets.
Since the first delivery of its original HondaJet in December 2015, the planemaker has also produced the HondaJet Elite, the HondaJet Elite S, and the HondaJet Elite II.
The popular plane has even lured in some A-list celebrities such as Tom Cruise, who is a longtime pilot and bought the plane in 2019, the nonprofit aviation-advocacy organization AOPA reported.
Now, the company's latest business-jet concept is expected to set industry records as the only light jet capable of transcontinental travel.
Meet the HondaJet Echelon.
