The GE Honda HF120 is a small turbofan engine for the light business jet market and the first engine produced by GE Honda Aero Engines. It succeeded Honda's HF118 prototype and was in testing in July 2008; the FAA awarded Part 33 certification in December 2013 and production certification in 2015. The first engines were built at GE's factory, with production moving to Burlington, North Carolina in November 2014. It has a wide-chord swept fan, a two-stage low-pressure compressor and a counter-rotating high-pressure compressor with a titanium impeller, giving 2,050 pounds-force (9.1 kilonewtons) of takeoff thrust. Besides the Honda HA-420 HondaJet, it was announced as a retrofit for the Cessna CitationJet CJ1.
