Aircraft dismantling is the process of deconstructing an aircraft that is no longer in service. This can occur due to age, damage, or economic factors. The dismantling process involves removing valuable components, such as engines, avionics, and landing gear, which can be reused or recycled. After valuable parts are extracted, the remaining structure is typically broken down into smaller pieces for disposal or recycling. This process helps reduce waste and recover materials like aluminum and steel. Proper dismantling is essential for environmental sustainability and compliance with regulations regarding aircraft disposal.
