The aerospace industry encompasses all activities from design and production to the maintenance of aircraft and space systems. With global air traffic increasing by an average of 4.5% since 2010, the industry faces massive structural shifts.
Material selection is no longer just about a cost-to-performance ratio; it must now account for a complex matrix of technical, economic, and environmental factors.
With the U.S. aiming for a 50-52% reduction in net GHG emissions by 2030, the “airplane of the future” will rely on Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and hydrogen propulsion. Hydrogen weighs three times less than kerosene, but its storage at -252°C requires advanced material insulation and fugitive-emission management.
The COVID-19 crisis highlighted the risk of fragmented knowledge. Aerospace firms now use Communities of Practice to pool tacit knowledge and return on experience (REX), ensuring that past design decisions are leveraged for future research.
Regulations like REACH (Chrome VI prohibition) and RoHS impose strict obligations. Standard ISO/ICS 49.025 specifically defines safety criteria for aerospace construction, including flammability and system reactivity.
Between 60% and 90% of an aircraft can be recycled. Identifying recyclable materials and managing their end-of-life cycle is essential for meeting the 2050 net-zero targets.
