DESIGN INNOVATIONS

HondaJet’s innovative natural-laminar flow (NLF) design not only increases aerodynamic efficiency, it also simplifies manufacturing procedures.

Developed through extensive analyses and wind tunnel testing, the NLF airfoil design helps achieve reduced wing drag. The larger the laminar flow in the boundary layer of the wing surface, the lower the drag becomes. To achieve a large laminar flow, the HondaJet wing employs integral, machined panels that minimize the number of parts required.
