Recycling the Skies: Circular Economy in Aviation Maintenance Materials
Aviation sustainability isn’t a slogan — it’s an engineering discipline.
From composite scraps and worn rotables to hydraulic fluids and high-value alloys, modern aviation maintenance is rapidly embracing a circular economy. In this Jotore deep dive, we explore how maintenance materials are recovered, reprocessed, certified, and reintroduced into the supply chain without compromising airworthiness or safety.

What Happens When Lightning Strikes an Aircraft?
Lightning Strikes Happen More Often Than You Think Most passengers fear thunderstorms, yet for aviation engineers lightning is a routine design case. A typical commercial aircraft is struck by lightning at least once a year , or roughly every 1,000 flight hours . In nearly all cases, the aircraft continues the flight safely. This isn’t luck — it’s engineering. Modern airliners are intentionally designed to manage and safely dissipate lightning energy without damaging criti
