The aircraft industry particularly struggled with transforming production and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) processes, replacing humans with machines, and automating as well as digitizing significant parts of their value- and non-value-adding activities. However, given current societal and environmental challenges, future industries must change from technology-driven only to value-driven, working sustainably with resources, including human capital, the idea behind Industry 5.0. On the one hand, the aircraft industry challengingly faces these demands since even Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies are not fully exploited or implemented; on the other hand, due to the specific aircraft production and MRO as well as the environmental impact characteristics of the product, tremendous potential arises regarding placing human well-being back into the core of adding value, decreasing environmental footprint, while building a resilient and fortified industry against disruptions of this era. In line with the Industry 5.0 terminology, in this work, we outline the objectives, challenges, enabling technologies, and opportunities for sustainable, resource-efficient, human-centric, and resilient concepts, systems, and procedures in aircraft production and MRO.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Technology::629: Other Branches::629.1: AviationIndustry 5.0 in aircraft production and MRO: technologies, challenges, and opportunitiesPreprint10.15480/882.1321910.13140/RG.2.2.33842.0096110.15480/882.13219Preprint
