1、#GetTheFutureYouWant#GetTheFutureYouWantDIGITAL TWINS IN AEROSPACE AND DEFENSEDigital twin technology is not a novel concept for the aerospace and defense(A&D)industry;however,it is emerging as an increasingly important one.Simply put,a digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical system whose pe

2、rformance it can help optimize.Because it exists purely in the virtual space,the twin can be stress-tested,assessed,and its design modified with no safety implications and at optimum cost,so that all the experimentation and major decisions can be nailed before the physical asset itself is touched.Gi

6、 reality(VR),and mixed reality(MR)digital twins bridge the gap between digital and physical worlds.They establish a closed-loop approach to synergizing data,technologies,and business processes.The results can be astonishing.Today,large aerospace original equipment manufacturers(OEMs)are eagerly appl
