Wonder if it will have a 20 knot crosswind limitation as well.

It’s been an open secret that HondaJet has been working on a longer-range jet for some time, so it’s nice to see this announcement. They needed to leverage off their large initial investment at some point.
Will be interesting to get the details, including price, when available. But I do expect the cabin will be very nice if the current HJs are any indication …

The cabin interior measures 62.5 inches high from the dropped aisle to the ceiling, and 61 inches wide, 4.5 inches taller and one inch wider than the HA-420’s cabin.

They’ve announced the range but not the engines. That seems odd. Does GE have an engine that would work?

The implication is that they will build one to suit. Would need to be in the 3500 lbf class based on weight/size. If Honda doesn't build an engine for it, the only existing engine that really fits is a Williams FJ44-4, like CJ4 and PC-24 use. Mike C.

The definitely have the Phenom 300 market as their bullseye. The divan interior is a direct copy of the P300's most popular configuration. If they can actually realize the +600nm range, 20% efficiency, and deliver for $10M they will give Embraer a run for their money.
I'll believe it when I see it.
