Description du projet/ Project Description

Recycling complex products, typical to aeronautic industry, require a high enhancement in Canadian engineering knowledge. The project will study the best ways to part-out, dismantle and recycle an aircraft at its end of life with the objective of increasing its value by recovering, reusing or recycling subassemblies, parts and material. An experimental platform will be selected and/or built for the purposes of this research program. This project deals also with the design of logistics networks, with Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) and a redesign approach draft for future developments.

Objectifs/ Objectives

1- Disassemble the main components.
2- Disassemble and dismantling the rest.
3- Materials recycling
4- The conception with the aim of the recycling.
