  By Krupal Pawar, Eknath Bayas, Shekhar Rahane, Rajeshkumar Sambhe, Balaprasad Kurpatwar

  Abstract: The increasing integration of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in aerospace structures necessitates a rigorous evaluation of their environmental sustainability throughout their entire life cycle. This study presents a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) and carbon footprint analysis of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites applied to structural and semi-structural components in commercial aerospace applications. Following ISO 14040/14044 standards and employing the ReCiPe 2016 Midpoint (H) impact …
