Model Airplanes

Imagine that we know an object well when it starts out, and we can measure activity and forces applied to it, and we can simulate how it would react and change. In such a case, we’ve created a “Digital Twin” for our object.

Consider the critical structural elements of an airplane in which actual fatigue is evaluated by removing parts from the aircraft and performing X-ray examinations. What if our Digital Twin for a particular aircraft could accurately predict what we would see without making us remove the item and X-ray it?

Digital Twins have been applied to aircraft for some time, but are now poised to explode in usage thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) and the availability of enormous compute power to do the simulations. I attended a discussion group on the topic of Digital Twins at a conference earlier this year, and I was struck by the interest level among those who didn’t appear to have a compelling need. Not surprising, though, given that this technology was listed on Gartner’s Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2017.

 Gartner predicts billions of things will have Digital Twins in the next few years, in large part thanks to the enormous number of interconnected IoT devices. Digital twins will come to life due to billions of IoT devices, coupled with real-time data feeds and massive compute power in data centers to ponder what the data means. We appear to be on the verge of trusting Digital Twins to model physical reality

LG Electronics’ MA deals (excluding affiliated companies) stopped after the company took over a smart TV platform, “the Web Operating System” from HP in 2013. Over the past four years, LG Electronics has focused on RD-oriented innovation. Although the importance of RD played a part, the company was concerned about the failure of MAs.

LG Electronics’ VC Business Division launched in the same year was a new growth engine prepared for more than 10 years including the RD period. Although the division still incurs deficits, the division is a future business item and is promoted via a differentiation strategy of LG Electronics. The division was one step ahead compared to Samsung Electronics which is LG Electronics’ archrival in the home electronics sector.

However, the situation has changed since Samsung Electronics acquired Harman, the world’s leading infotainment company last year. To take over Harman, Samsung Electronics invested 9.3 trillion won (US$81 billion), the largest amount in the history of Korean companies’ MAs and suddenly became a giant in the field of electronic auto parts. Samsung’s acquisition of Harman made LG Electronics’ roughly ten years of RD trifling.

Samsung’s acquisition of Harman made LG Electronics no longer say to shareholders that its electronic auto parts business was its future growth engines. Then, LG Electronics selected the aviation interior field as a new growth engine. LG Electronics’ entry into the in-flight entertainment and communication (IFEC) system business is interpreted as a clever move in this regard. This is because LG Electronics’ VC business is similar to

John Smith of Irondequoit has been coming to the Geneseo Airshow for about 20 years. First, with his son, and this year they were accompanied by his grandson.

“It brings back memories, walking among these planes,” said Smith, who served with the Air Force during the Korean War. He worked on P-36 fighters and B-52 bombers.

Along the flight line of the National Warplane Museum grass airstrip Adam Bork of Fairport was watching a T-6 advanced trainer aircraft loop through the sky with his grandfather, Bill Pierson of Fairport.

The family members shared a love of aviation. Pierson built model planes as a kid and later learned to fly at age 56, and introduced his grandson to planes. Bork became hooked after a
