To meet the requirements of innovative, sustainable and circular aircraft configurations, nowadays it is essential to investigate the entire aircraft life-cycle, from design to production, to the waste disposal after the end of the system activity. This research activity proposes a tradespace exploration for the identification of the best solution while trading, at the same time, decision-makers ‘expectations related to the aircraft design, manufacturing and supply chain. The most performant but also competitive aircraft configuration is so identified since the early life-cycle stages.
