The Future of Digital Twins and Virtual Prototyping in Aerospace

The Future of Digital Twins and Virtual Prototyping in Aerospace

The aerospace and defense industry has adopted the use of the digital twin as a revolutionary design tool for several decades. Digital twins effectively provide a virtual representation of a product, system or technology that allows companies other than design and test new products before building them physically.

Will the A&D industry ever get to a point where virtual prototypes completely replace physical ones? How are companies using digital twins to improve existing product designs? Dale Tutt, Vice President of Industry Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software, is the guest on this episode of the Aerospace & Defense Technology podcast to answer these questions and more.
