At the same time, the Siemens eVTOL team, led by Yu Guohua, Vice President of Aerospace Ship and Low Altitude eVTOL Industry, was invited to participate in the "Advanced Low Altitude Aircraft (eVTOL) Design, Research and Development, Testing, and Core Component Technology Forum" to introduce and share the theme of "Crossing the Airworthiness Gap, Supporting the Business Future - Siemens Digital Threads Empowering eVTOL Safety Certification and Commercial Takeoff". The main content includes:
Analyzed the life and death challenges behind the eVTOL track from the perspectives of industry landscape and airworthiness challenges, analyzed the core challenges faced by the eVTOL industry, and why there is an urgent need for digital transformation now;
Siemens has proposed an end-to-end digital threading solution to address these core challenges, helping eVTOL enterprises reshape their airworthiness compliance system and achieve full chain data connectivity and compliance traceability;
At the same time, based on digital threads, six digital technology pillars provided by Siemens for eVTOL in the fields of system engineering, research and development design, simulation testing, and intelligent manufacturing were introduced, and customer digital application cases such as Joby and JetZero were shared;
Finally, the construction path of eVTOL enterprise platformization strategy and long-term competitive barriers was summarized, from developing tools to building commercial moats.
After the keynote speech, during the roundtable discussion, we collaborated with eVTOL whole machine enterprises and digital experts in the same industry to explore the core challenges of eVTOL whole machine research and development, testing, and airworthiness.
Insight into the Future: Continuous Innovation, Hand in Hand Progress
This exhibition is not only a grand event for showcasing and exchanging ideas, but also an opportunity for us to look forward to the future together with everyone. Siemens will continue to deeply cultivate the domestic eVTOL and low altitude economy track, relying on the Siemens Xcelerator digital base, and collaborating with ecological partners to polish eVTOL research and innovation and digital solutions adapted to airworthiness regulations. We will continue to implement a series of industry exchange activities, use digital technology to assist in the research and innovation, efficiency improvement, and breakthrough of airworthiness bottlenecks in the domestic eVTOL and low altitude economy industries, accelerate the commercial production and certification process of low altitude aircraft, and promote the high-quality and large-scale development of eVTOL and low altitude economy industries in China.
We look forward to working hand in hand with you in the future to create brilliance together!
