Decision Drivers to Enable Eco-efficient Aircraft Structures

Eco-efficiency addresses the whole life cycle beginning from the raw materials, continuing through manufacturing processes, and ending with optimized operations and end of life through recycling. Eco-efficiency stimulates innovation capabilities and drives toward development of efficient technologies and aircrafts.

Topics include:

• Customer requirements
• Main drivers and benefits for selection of innovative materials and technologies
• Performance by a minimized weight
• Final cost related to delivery rate
• High-grade harmonization and standardization for reliability and best quality
• Mature innovations critical for intelligent aircraft
• Intelligent integrated design
• Control of corrosion through optimized design and materials selection
