The seats are comfortable, with plenty of headroom above.Honda AircraftNot only is the HA-420 itself a clean-sheet design, its engines are new as well. The HF120 engine, which produces up to 2,095 pounds of thrust off the mounts, is made by GE Honda Aero Engines, a joint venture between two companies that know a thing or two about building engines.Honda AircraftLocated on the tail cone, the speedbrake is composed of two panels that open through a small switch left of the thrust levers and close with application of power.Honda AircraftThe shark-teethlike window accents are not for show. They are part of the electric windshield heat.Honda AircraftOpen latches are easy to spot with the bright-orange color inside.
