Wing Production Facility Opens For HondaJet ELITE Starting construction in mid-2019 and completing in September of 2020, the new wing production facility for Honda Aircraft Company's HondaJet ELITE is now operational having been recently opened. It is a new 83,100 square foot facility now added to the growing Honda Aircraft Company campus in Greensboro, North Carolina. The extra production space represents a further investment of 24.3 million dollars. The airframer has spent more than 245 million dollars at this North Carolina facility to date.
"Honda is a mobility technology company, and our newest facility further increases efficiency of assembly. It also will house more service parts to support the rapidly growing HondaJet fleet," said Michimasa Fujino, president and CEO of Honda Aircraft Company. "Since entering the market five years ago, the HondaJet has received a tremendous response from customers. This facility will enable us to continue to provide our growing global customer base with the highest level of customer support." HondaJet wings are composed of an exterior skin made of machined one-piece aluminum alloys backed by alloy ribs to achieve a very smooth surface designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and structural rigidity. The new facility will permit Honda Aircraft Company to produce more wings under one roof and overall up production.
