Special Focus Issue: Aerospace Design

The aerospace industry, moreso than most other sectors, faces significant design challenges when it comes to balancing safety, weight and performance, all within a demanding regulatory environment. As a result, these companies tend to be on the leading edge of design and simulation innovation.

In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, we take a look at trends in aircraft design. Those include the use of additive manufacturing, digital twins and generative design. We also provide a roundup of engineering related announcements from the Paris Air Show, and discuss how artificial intelligence can help with spacecraft design.

Stories include:

• Advanced Tech Takes Stage at Paris Air Show
• AI Goes to Space
• Challenges of Building Out a Live Digital Twin
• Grading the Trinity of Simulation-Driven Design
• Aerospace Digital Twins Gain Altitude
