Effects of aeroplane digital twins on business models

Kurzfassung

n simple terms, a digital twin can be defined as follows: The Digital Twin is a uniquely identifiable digital representation of a physical or logical object for one or more purposes. The topic of digital twins is becoming increasingly important. Not only publications (see Figure 1) on the topic but also search queries in search engines are continuously increasing. The potential of digital twins is generally considered to be very high. It is reflected in various political, scientific and economic strategies. However, the question of financing digital twins has not yet been fully clarified. There appear to be two problems in particular: 1) The costs and benefits of digital twins can be allocated at different stakeholders. 2. the benefits of digital twins are often not realised directly in the digital twin, but in surrounding processes and often at stakeholders other than those providing the required information.
