Teardown Reports
Methodology
Every unit follows a documented, repeatable procedure — from assessment through parts-out disassembly and structural dismantling to final reporting.
Condition survey, documentation review, photographic baseline. Hazardous materials identification and work order creation.
Parts-out: systematic removal of reusable components — engines, avionics, instruments, landing gear. Non-destructive extraction, full traceability.
Structural breakdown into material fractions — aluminium alloys, steel, titanium, copper, composites. Alloy identification and segregation.
Full teardown report with mass balance, material recovery data, photographic documentation, and component inventory.
How We Help
Every aircraft we dismantle creates value — removing a liability for the owner and generating supply for those who need parts.
Retired, damaged, or grounded — we handle professional disposal with full documentation and regulatory compliance. No more ghost aircraft taking up hangar space.
Crashed, water-damaged, or beyond repair — we buy damaged drones for material research and recycling. Any brand, any condition. We cover shipping.
We recover and catalog components during every dismantling operation. Avionics, engines, structural elements, instruments — documented with full traceability.

Journal
After weeks of outreach across Poland's aviation community, we're building a pipeline of general aviation aircraft for our first full-scale teardowns — expected to begin in mid-2026.
Completed formal consultation with the National Contact Point for the EU LIFE Programme on our circular economy concept for aircraft end-of-life materials — including CFRP feedstock preparation and material passport development.
Two funding applications submitted in Q1 2026 — IDEA Global Accelerator and HugeTECH Revolution — as we build the foundation for Poland's first aircraft dismantling operation.
