Abstract:
In this paper, sustainable product design in the aerospace industry is explored. Through a pilot interview study with three aerospace companies, four sustainability aspects, tightly connected to business value, were identified widely prioritized in early phases. Other aspects were currently considered with less importance, but due to external constraints and business opportunities this prioritization can rapidly shift. Prioritized aspects in early phases control a solution's sustainability profile, determine the pace towards sustainability transition, and can provide a competitive advantage.
