Two of the world's most respected names in propulsion have come together to design and manufacture engines for the next generation of very light jets. The joint venture, known as GE Honda Aero Engines, combines the strengths of two industry leaders recognized for delivering high performance and reliability.
The HF120 engine, the first product from GE Honda Aero Engines, epitomizes the strengths of GE Aerospace and Honda — advanced manufacturing, significant R&D investments, technology leadership, and strong commitment to customers. The engine is designed to deliver unparalleled performance, reliability, and value to business aviation.
With a compact design and differential bearing architecture, GE Honda Aero Engines’ HF120 turbofan delivers outstanding power with unparalleled benefits for the 2,000-pound thrust class.
By reducing weight and incorporating innovative 3D aerodynamic designs, HF120 components interact with greater efficiency while optimizing operability. The engine uses a centrifugal impeller designed to operate at state-of-the-art aerodynamic efficiency levels without the need for variable geometry. This is complemented by a unique, effusion-cooled combustor design to deliver exceptional environmental benefits.
Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
