The technology behind cheaper air travel

Not everyone can afford their own plane yet - but affordable flying is possible for many today. But why is air travel significantly cheaper these days? The answer lies in the optimization and automation of production processes in aviation: thanks to modern manufacturing technologies, both large and small aircraft can be produced more efficiently and with less effort.

Digital transformation: NX CAD and Teamcenter

With the introduction of NX CAD and the integration of Teamcenter, development processes in aircraft construction can be made more efficient. Design data is managed centrally, and virtual simulations such as crash, load and flow tests enable errors to be detected at an early stage. At the same time, digital networking significantly improves collaboration between sites and departments.

Practical examples

Antonov An-178The Ukrainian manufacturer was able to reduce the development time of the An-178 transport aircraft to three years thanks to the use of NX CAD and Teamcenter.

Piper AircraftThe US aircraft manufacturer uses the systems on a daily basis to efficiently visualize and implement design changes, which speeds up the development processes.

The NX CAD in aircraft construction

US-American supplierThe combination of NX CAD, Teamcenter and NX CAM enabled a previously problematic PLM implementation to be implemented in a stable and functional manner, thereby optimizing development processes

Advantages for processes, simulation and collaboration

  • Cost reduction: Fewer physical prototypes significantly reduce expenditure.
  • Improved collaboration: Teams worldwide can access current data in real time and work together.
  • Quality assurance: Simulations and continuous tests increase product quality.

The development of aircraft requires the coordination of complex assemblies and high safety standards. CAD and PLM systems such as NX CAD and Teamcenter make it possible to meet these requirements efficiently by optimizing processes, enabling simulations and improving collaboration between locations.

The role of DataSolid

The partnership with DataSolid is crucial for a successful digital transformation in aircraft development. As an experienced Siemens partner, DataSolid supports companies in the aviation industry in the implementation and optimal use of NX CAD and Teamcenter. The range of services includes consulting, individual planning, training and the implementation of tailor-made solutions to seamlessly digitalize development processes.

The close collaboration between Siemens and DataSolid allows companies to make the most of the software's functions: design data is managed centrally, simulations enable early error detection and collaboration across locations is significantly improved. Practical examples such as the Antonov An-178 show that the use of these systems can significantly reduce development times.

The combination of powerful software and experienced application specialists lays the foundation for modern aircraft development, in which systems are not only integrated, but also continuously optimized and supported - thus fulfilling complex requirements, shortening development times and sustainably increasing quality.
