Germany-based training device developer Reiser is addressing industry concerns about aircraft availability and training costs by offering digital twin technology that allows maintenance and flight training without grounding helicopters or using expensive certified parts.

The company scans aircraft and engines to create three-dimensional models down to individual components, then produces training devices using non-original parts that replicate the aircraft without the long lead times, high costs, and obsolescence issues associated with certified components, Jonas Goercke, head of business line flight training at Reiser, told AIN at Verticon.
