GE Honda Aero Engines’ plant in Burlington, N.C., received an FAA production certificate for the HF120 engine that will power the HondaJet and other light business jets. The company obtained FAA approval for the engine in December 2013 and this latest certification means that the Honda Aero Inc. facility demonstrated the repeated ability to build HF120s to type-design specifications, meaning the FAA no longer needs to inspect every engine before it is shipped to the customer.
