Strategic selection of carbon fibre composites and resin types significantly mitigates overall environmental impacts across aerospace operations.
Beyond a break-even distance of 300,000 km, conventional aluminium alloy becomes substantially more environmentally detrimental than composite craft.
Comparative life cycle assessment evaluated five carbon fibre composite configurations alongside conventional alloys across manufacturing and disposal.
