The July-September issue of Aerospace America is now live. Don’t miss the cover story, “Wanted: More Eyes in the Skies” by Jen Kirby. The increasing frequency and severity of large wildfires like the ones that devastated parts of LA in January have given fresh energy to researchers and companies who believe drones should play a much larger role in firefighting. Kirby looks at the state of the technology and some of the promising applications.

AIAA Releases White Paper Advocating for Use of Digital Threads in Aerospace
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 12, 2023 – San Diego – The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) today released a white paper at the 2023 AIAA AVIATION Forum to advance the use of Digital Threads across the aerospace industry. The paper, “Digital Thread: Definition, Value, and Reference Model,” is a collaboration with the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and the Americas Regional Steering Committee of the International Association for the Engineering Modelling, Analysis and Simulation Community (NAFEMS). The paper is available for download on the AIAA website .
A prominent theme during the 2023 AIAA AVIATION Forum, the Institute believes digital transformation is the fourth industrial revolution. “The aerospace industry needs to accelerate its adoption and realization of digital engineering to achieve the value and benefits from this technology advancement,” said AIAA Executive Director Dan Dumbacher. Although the concept of the Digital Thread has been discussed and specific aspects of the Digital Thread are not new, this paper attempts to consolidate in one location a description representing the AIAA Digital Engineering Integration Committee’s (DEIC) position on Digital Thread. The AIAA DEIC believes the Digital Thread is central to the aerospace industry’s digital transformation.
This paper is one in a series of papers published by the AIAA DEIC. The Institute released an implementation paper in January 2023, “Digital Twin: Reference Model, Realizations & Recommendations,” also available for download on the AIAA website .
The AIAA DEIC authored this paper with approval from the AIAA Public Policy Committee. In addition, substantial contributions were made by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Patterns Working Group and the Digital Twin Consortium, a community of the Object Management Group (OMG).
