Abstract
Cost is an issue of primary importance in the decision process of complex industrial projects. However, very few studies have considered the ownership cost of an ecologically framed aircraft, especially for the wing design. This is an issue of primary importance because the use of unmanned aerial vehicles is growing very rapidly and these vehicles can become an environmental burden. A Life-Cycle Costing model for evaluating the cost of a real aircraft wing is presented. The eco-demonstrator aircraft enabled the use of different materials, including composite and ecological materials. A model was developed and proved to be very robust. The cost breakdown analysis revealed opportunities for making green materials a financially viable option for aeronautical structures in the future.
