The Wing Production and Service Parts Facility will house a\nnew wing assembly process for the HondaJet Elite, which is the fastest,\nfarthest and highest-flying aircraft in its class. HondaJet wings are composed\nof an exterior skin made of machined one-piece aluminum alloys backed by alloy\nribs to achieve a very smooth surface designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and\nstructural rigidity. The new facility will enable the concurrent assembly of\nmore wings, resulting in a major increase in production efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Honda is a mobility technology company, and our newest\nfacility further increases efficiency of assembly. It also will house more\nservice parts to support the rapidly growing HondaJet fleet,” said\nMichimasa Fujino, president and CEO of Honda Aircraft Company. “Since\nentering the market five years ago, the HondaJet has received a tremendous\nresponse from customers. This facility will enable us to continue to provide\nour growing global customer base with the highest level of customer\nsupport.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new facility includes a main wing assembly hangar,\nservice parts warehouse for parts storage and distribution, paint booth, and\noffice areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
