Maintains exact temperature and humidity for composite materials curing.

Precision robots work alongside skilled technicians throughout assembly.

Honda produces 87% of components in-house for quality control.

Pre-impregnated carbon fiber sheets are precision-cut by automated machines. Each piece is laser-measured to ensure exact specifications.

Skilled technicians arrange multiple layers in specialized molds. Each aircraft requires over 2,000 individual carbon fiber pieces.

Giant pressurized ovens heat components to exact temperatures. The 12-hour curing process creates an incredibly strong, lightweight structure.
