Research on the Development and Application of Digital Twin Technology in the Field of Aircraft Maintenance and Support

With the development of science and technology, the modernization of equipment is accelerated, the application of digital twin technology in the field of aircraft maintenance and support has been moving from concept to reality and showing its unique and broad prospect. The combination of digital twin technology and intelligent maintenance technology can realize equipment failure prediction, rapid positioning and maintenance in order to increase the production efficiency and reduce the production cost. This paper introduces the research status of digital twin technology and its characteristics, discusses the obvious advantages in the field of aircraft maintenance and support and the possible development trend in the future. For aircraft, the application of digital twin in maintenance support is realized, the digital twin framework is constructed, and the simulation model of aircraft is established. The efficiency and reliability of maintenance support for aircraft are improved. This case has been applied in outfield aircraft support and can be further extended to the other equipment.
