Where the HondaJet HA-420 / Elite II wins
Over-the-wing engine mounts free up the cabin and the aircraft is genuinely quick — a real 422 KTAS with a quieter cabin than the class norm.
Where the Vision Jet wins
A parachute, autoland, and a balanced field roughly 800 ft shorter — which decides whether you land at the field beside the plant or the one forty minutes away.
The verdict
The HondaJet wins on speed and cabin acoustics. The Vision Jet wins on airport access and on the two safety systems no competitor offers at any price.
