How Virtual Twins are Reshaping Aerospace Design and Manufacturing

How Virtual Twins are Reshaping Aerospace Design and Manufacturing

As aerospace companies race to deliver cutting-edgetechnologies faster and more efficiently, digital innovation is taking center stage. For decades, manufacturers have relied on digital twins for design and simulation. Today, the industry is entering a new era with virtual twins.

According to Dassault Systèmes, a virtual twin is "an immersive scientific digital model that mirrors a real-world product, system, or process in meticulous detail." Virtual twins allow engineers to predict performance, eliminate errors, and optimize designs before production even begins. This breakthrough is helping aerospace and defense manufacturers reduce development cycles, improve quality, and accelerate time-to-market for next-generation technologies.

On the latest episode of the Aerospace & Defense Technology podcast, we sit down with two experts from DassaultSystèmes:


  • Mariah Otte, Aerospace and Defense Solution Architect
  • Jason Roberson, Aerospace and Defense Industry Value Expert


Together, they explain how virtual twins are transformingaerospace design and manufacturing, and what this means for the future of innovation in the sector. From simulation-driven engineering to predictive performance modeling, this conversation dives deep into the tools and strategies shaping tomorrow’s aerospace solutions.
