"Zero-emissions” podcast series (Ep. 3): Product Design and Building for Certification

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. How do you build a great product and stay within cost and schedule? This is a critical question facing OEMs of zero-emissions aircraft today. And how do you mass produce these things anyway? To build a high-quality air taxi or eVTOL within cost requires the complete optimization of the product – as well as the production process itself.  Today, in our third episode, “The Zero-Emissions Aircraft: Product Design and Building for Certification” we’ll be talking about how to leverage the digital twin to create an optimal design that meets the desired quality and performance standards – and prepares teams for certification. Once again, I am joined by my partner Dale Tutt, vice president of aerospace and defense at Siemens Digital Industries Software.  In our previous podcast, we talked about the variables and trade-offs associated in the early stages of conceptual design. Today, Dale discusses the move out of preliminary design and into the many disciplines and domains associated with product design. We’ll touch on how the digital twin can be leveraged throughout this stage – which includes verification and certification. I’m your host, Scott Salzwedel, and welcome you to today’s show. In addition to the digital twin, we’ll touch on the digital threads that assist teams during the product design process as we move along deeper product development. Some really great stuff. I hope you’ll be able to join. In this episode, you will learn: How MBSE digital thread contributes to product design. (07:38) The benefits of virtual commissioning. (08:18) The role of the digital twin in product optimization. (09:24) The processes that should be in place before starting certification.
