Honda Aircraft has taken delivery of its first two production model HF120 engines from the GE plant in Lynn, Mass. The engines are now in full production at the Massachusetts plant after getting FAA certification late in 2013. Production will be moved to Honda's plant in Burlington, N.C. later this year. The engine is billed as major technological leap for small turbofans with better fuel efficiency and more power for its size than comparable designs. It's GE's first foray into the little engine market. The engines pave the way for Honda to meet its current targets.
