Input

The framework will be developed around the following digital twins focused on different facets of the whole aircraft life span:

  • Manufacturing Process Digital Twin: composite manufacturing processes.
  • Product Usage Digital Twin: in-service behavior of the composite component.
  • MRO Digital Twins: the composite repair process.
  • Cognitive Digital Twin: Managing data from all systems and tools for gaining knowledge from the overall composite component lifecycle
