Life Cycle Assessment Activities in HERFUSE Project

In the frame of the final analysis of the HERFUSE activities a life cycle assessment (LCA) has been planned to support the performance evaluation of the new Clean Aviation (CA) architectural concepts. The HERFUSE project is focused on designing innovative fuselage and empennages suitable for the future Hybrid-Electric Regional Aircraft (HER) that will contribute to the overall target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. HERFUSE will study the challenges in fuselage and empennage layout, material, components, manufacturing and assembly derived from the integration of the relevant fuselage systems for HER as defined in the strategic research and innovation agenda SRIA for a Hybrid-Electric Regional Aircraft and in HER-01 topic.
