About this episode

Welcome to Talking Aerospace Today – a podcast for the Aerospace & Defense industry. A place that brings the promise of tomorrow’s technology to the ears of our listeners today.

In commercial aviation, innovation has been motivated by the need to increase speed or carrying capacity. Of course lowering production costs is another huge motivator. And let’s not forget safety. The industry is about to undergo another revolution; this time motivated by the need for more sustainable flight and zero-emissions air travel.

Today, in our second episode of a five-part series, we’re going back to the early planning stages of a zero-emissions aircraft, in an episode we’re calling “Zero-emissions Aircraft – Conceptual Thinking and Preliminary Design.” We’ll cover the digital threads involved in the early conceptual stages and how these digital threads mature as the process progresses. What are the design considerations? How about the trade-offs? You’ll learn the importance of the comprehensive digital twin – even in these early stages.

I’m your host, Scott Salzwedel, and I will be joined once again by my special guest, Dale Tutt, Vice President of Aerospace and Defense at Siemens Digital Industries Software. Dale has great insight in the many phases of aircraft development, and he’ll share some of that expertise with us today. 

I invite you to take a listen and see how digitalization plays a role in the early stages of aircraft development and helps build cleaner, greener, state-of-the-art, zero-emissions aircraft. 

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The variables to be considered in the development of a zero-emissions aircraft. (2:00)
  • The trade-offs to consider while developing. (3:27)
  • The role digital threads play in the early stages of development. (6:24)
  • What the preliminary design phase involves. (9:36)
  • The role of simulation during the development process. (14:15)
  • The difference between the product digital twin and the production digital twin. (16:51)
