Application of Digital Twin Technology in Aerospace Manufacturing
Abstract
rapidly transforming aerospace manufacturing by enabling virtual testing, predictive maintenance, and optimized production workflows. This
paper reviews the current state of DT applications in aerospace manufacturing, synthesizes enabling technologies and architecture patterns,
and evaluates implementation challenges including data interoperability, certification, and organizational integration. Evidence from recent
systematic reviews, industry case studies, and engineering analyses indicates that DTs can shorten design cycles, improve first-time yield, and
reduce life-cycle sustainment costs when combined with machine learning, high-fidelity simulation, and robust IoT architectures.
