Recycling older aircraft is one way for aviation to reduce its environmental footprint, and now flight training technology group Euramec (Chalet B23) has come up with a way to reuse Airbus A320s that boosts safety as well. The company has teamed with recycling specialist AeroCircular to convert older A320 cockpits and fuselages into training equipment.
