Aircraft teardowns create parts. They also create enormous amounts of information that the aftermarket has to manage. Mahesh Bhide of Teardowns.aero joins Patrick Kraus to discuss how greater visibility, clearer demand signals, and smarter automation could change the way teardown material moves through the industry. They explore the manual work still surrounding harvest lists, buyer requirements, documentation, and traceability; why AI is most useful when it catches problems earlier; and how the aftermarket can increase efficiency without compromising the regulatory controls aviation requires. As teardown volume grows, the challenge will be bigger than processing more aircraft. The industry will also have to process more information, and turn it into better decisions.
