Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

5.2.1 Lecture 5C: Design for Life Cycle

Course subject(s) Module 5: Production and End of Life

Lecture 5C: Design for Life Cycle

With the linear aircraft life cycle explained, it is now time to look into the envisioned circular aircraft life cycle. Implementing a circular life cycle starts with changes in the first phase of the aircraft life: the Design phase.

In this lecture, Dr. Parlevliet will explain how we can design while taking into account sustainability aspects, with the main focus being on weight.
