GE Honda Aero Engines (a sister company to Honda Aircraft) has revealed that it will be building its jet engines at a new plant in New Carolina. The site, at Burlington, is adjacent to the town’s regional airport.
GE Honda Aero Engines is a joint venture between GE and Honda Aero, established in 2004 for the development, certification and commercialization of jet engines in the 1,000 to 3,500 lb thrust class.
The GE Honda HF120 has been chosen to power two of the newest and most advanced products in the business jet market – Spectrum Aeronautical’s Freedom and HondaJet, which will be produced by the Honda Aircraft Company, Inc (a separate Honda subsidiary).
