Research on Scrap Recycling of Retired Civil Aircraft

Abstract

With the acceleration of the decommissioning of civil aircraft and the huge economic and environmental benefits, how to dispose and recycle the waste materials of decommissioned aircraft has become an important issue to be solved urgently. This article first introduces the current status of the international aircraft dismantling and recycling industry, and then elaborates the scrap recycling technology of the retired aircraft from the second-hand aviation material market, metals and composite materials, respectively. Finally, the positioning and advantages of the main aircraft manufacturer are clarified, and the future prospects for the field of dismantling and recycling are put forward.
