5.2 Operation cost

Stage 6

Deployment

6.1 Essence of this s stage: Utilization of aircraft is difficult, and even dangerous process, it requires expensive equipment and the value of the special license. The main working unit is simple ekskavators of trailers and tracked chassis base.

This is the last stage of aircraft life cycle. At this point the aircraft can’t be in service and since there are restrictions, companies have to recycle aircrafts. For this purpose special cranes are used which break the aircraft in such a way that usually 90% of the parts can be recycled.

The recycling of aircraft materials has come into greater focus in recent years, due in large part to the increase in the number of aircraft which are reaching the end of their working life. Aircraft manufacturers estimate that up to 44 percent of the global fleet will reach end of life in the next two decades, amounting to more than 13,000 commercial, military and private aircraft. This includes an annual retirement of more than 400 civil and larger commercial aircraft (planes with capacity for at least 100 passengers).

On average, approximately 30 to 50 percent (by weight) of the material and components in an end-of-life aircraft are reused. This includes everything from landing gear to instruments, to entire cockpits which are reused as simulators.

According to van Heerden, the amount that is reused depends on various factors, including the number of a particular airframe’s model type that have already been disassembled and processed.

Conclusion

During this work I have studied to investigate aircraft life cycle. I got familiar with its main components:

• Marketing research

• Design

• Testing

• Manufacturing

• Operation

• Deployment

To perform this work was rather interesting for me. I think that knowledge obtained while doing it will help me in my future profession.
