It is 2 a.m., do you know where your digital twin is? Once buzzwords, the aerospace and defense industrial base is embracing the digital thread in manufacturing at an increasing pace. Managers see a future where digital twin approaches go from just product design to the whole supply system. Coupled with other technological leaps, such as working from anywhere on any device, digitization promises many benefits but also challenges. Costs, cyber risks and human capital challenges loom. Aviation Week talks with Accenture advisors on the outlook.
Aerospace & defense leaders wanted performance-shattering, 3D-printed, high-value parts. The reality of additive manufacturing often fell short of expectations... until now.
If budgetary obstacles can be overcome, the Navy’s requirements and additional planned Army and Air Force projects have the potential to make India a key driver of demand in the military rotary-wing market over the next decade.
Why a DARPA-developed disinfection technology offers airports and airlines the most practical way to kill pathogens and rebuild confidence in air travel.
Turbulence is an unfortunate reality of air travel. Sources of turbulence are varied, including everything from a sudden change in wind direction known as a wind shear, bumpy pockets of warm air and airflow disruptions caused by mountain ranges.
