“The Power of the Digital Twin” (Ep. #1): Next Generation Aerospace Design

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.

The shutdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic had a lasting impact on the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry. Apart from falling behind on many major projects, the industry is also experiencing a significant shortage of engineers. A&D companies are looking to overcome these challenges by embracing digital tools like the digital twin. To tell us how they can, we have some new faces joining the podcast.

In this first episode of the new season, Dale Tutt, Vice President of Global Industries at Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Todd Tuthill and Patty Russo. Todd is the Vice President of Aerospace and Defense Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software. Patty is the Global Marketing Manager for the Aerospace and Defense Industry and will be the new host of Talking Aerospace Today.

We’ll also discuss the biggest challenge the A&D industry faces and what is being done to solve it, as well as learn about the benefits of using a digital twin and what implementing it involves.
