are looking towards digital twins for benefits that include reduced time to market , increased sales , improved operational efficiency , access to advanced training environments , and technological advancement . Importantly , digital twins can also play a role in helping sustainability efforts .”
Capgemini ’ s research explores digital twin tech as the backbone of the industrial metaverse , where it helps businesses and individuals collaborate on processes , systems and product design and testing .
The report includes feedback from large aerospace original equipment manufacturers ( OEMs ), who are applying digital twins to manufacturing processes . Companies such as Airbus UTM , which is building the infrastructure needed to allow future vehicles , such as delivery drones , to safely share our future skies .
“ Our digital twin allows us to model , simulate , and scale a wide range of situations for critical stakeholders , including drone and aircraft pilots , operators , regulators , and the unmanned traffic management service
Digital twins tech can be used to predict maximum take-off weight to improve revenue without compromising safety

73 % OF AERO AND DEFENCE ORGANISATIONS HAVE A LONG-TERM ROADMAP FOR DIGITAL TWIN TECHNOLOGY
providers themselves ,” Max Egorov Nova , Airbus UTM ’ s Head of Simulation , tells Capgemini .
Most importantly for the A & D industry , says Annecchino , digital twins can improve revenue without compromising on safety .
“ For example , while every aircraft has a maximum take-off weight ), the weight limits imposed are typically lower than this . Using digital twins , coupled with weather and flight profile data , it ’ s possible to better estimate the required load without overloading the aircraft .
This , of course , saves fuels , which is hugely important for air freight carriers who are seeking to decarbonise operations .
