How Robotic Tape Laying Makes Carbon Fiber Wings
Lucas and Luna visit a factory in Washington state where robots lay carbon fiber tape to build wing skins for next-generation aircraft. They explore why composite manufacturing has been slow to scale, how automated fiber placement cuts labor costs and waste, and what it means for the future of aerospace production. With specific numbers on layup speeds, material savings, and defect rates, this episode shows how a 50-year-old process is finally going digital.
