State policy for supporting digital twins in the aircraft industry

This article examines the role of state support programs in the development and implementation of digital twins and end-to-end technologies in the aircraft industry. The relevance of this study stems from the need to ensure technological sovereignty and digital transformation of the domestic aviation industry in the context of sanctions. Using a comparative analysis and institutional approach, this paper systematizes the experience of the US, EU, China, and Russia. Key areas of government support are identified: funding R&D in digital modeling, creating industry-specific centers of excellence, stimulating domestic software development, and developing a regulatory framework for the use of digital twins at all stages of the lifecycle. It is demonstrated that systemic government support for key digital technologies is critical to ensuring the continuity of production processes and the competitiveness of the aircraft industry. Recommendations are proposed for improving government incentives for the industry’s digital transformation.
