And I\u2019m your host, Scott Salzwedel. Welcome to episode one of our new five-part series: <em>\u201cDriving Innovation through Digital Transformation.\u201d<\/em> We are experiencing unprecedented innovation in the A&amp;D industry these days. There\u2019s just so much to talk about from space missions, supersonic travel, urban air mobility, such as the eVTOL aircraft. We\u2019re seeing breakthroughs in composites and additive manufacturing. Augmented and virtual reality are now part of the factory floor. Electrification is a huge deal.

And then we\u2019ll fast forward to the present to discuss our current wave of innovation. We\u2019ll be taking a closer look at some of the technologies fueling innovation today. We\u2019re talking about the digital transformation here, folks. More on that later. I\u2019m pleased to introduce Dale Tutt, Vice President of Aerospace &amp; Defense at Siemens Digital Industries Software. Dale is the go-to guy for all things Aerospace &amp; Defense. Welcome, Dale! Thanks for stopping by today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dale Tutt: <\/strong>Hey, thanks, Scott! I\u2019m more than happy to be here today and I\u2019m really looking forward to our discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scott: <\/strong>Great! So, a little bit more about Dale. Dale has over 30 years of experience in engineering design, development and program leadership within the aerospace industry. He specializes in building highly effective, cross-functional teams to achieve complex operations when building today\u2019s aircraft. Before Siemens, Dale worked at The Spaceship Company which is now part of Virgin Galactic, Textron Aviation and Bombardier Aerospace. Alright Dale, let\u2019s dive into our first episode. It only makes sense that we go back to the early days when modern aerospace was first invented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dale: <\/strong>Definitely, Scott. We\u2019ve had aviation for more than 100 years and the first wave of aviation innovation really started with Samuel Pierpont Langley and the Wright brothers. Langley is often considered the father of aviation. He introduced the steam-powered unmanned aerodrome roughly in 1896. He\u2019s also the inventor of the ailerons and he brought that technology. Prior to that, the Wright brothers had used wing warping. But aviation innovation itself as we know it, really started with the Wright brothers. Orville Wright once said, \u201cIf we worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true, really is true, then there would be little hope for advance.\u201d This is really at the heart of innovation. Working out of their bicycle shop, they first flew in 1903. It\u2019s hard to believe it\u2019s been 117 years since that first flight. And when I look back in history, and I look at what I think is one of the heydays of aviation, the 1920s was a period of significant innovation. There were aircraft companies starting everywhere, little startups everywhere, and there were competitions to help foster innovation within aviation. In 1925, three men started Travel Air Manufacturing Company in Wichita, Kansas; Clyde Cessna, Walter Beech, and Lloyd Stearman. The company itself only lasted a few years, but these three giants in aviation went on to found their own airplane companies after that: Cessna Aircraft, Beechcraft, and Stearman, which eventually merged with Boeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scott: <\/strong>Exactly\u2026 And today, in our current wave of innovation, you have hundreds of companies working in this new era of what\u2019s called Urban Air Mobility. Just like in the 1920s there are dozens of companies trying to be first. Dale, how will this new wave of urban air mobility change the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dale: <\/strong>If I think about it, there\u2019s hundreds of companies. And when you think about all of the innovation out there, it really reminds me, as I said earlier, about the 1920s. And all of these companies, whether it\u2019s supersonic business jets, supersonic airliners, small startup companies working on these projects, you have companies working on electric propulsion for regional aircraft and for airliners. Airbus recently announced the development of hydrogen propulsion systems for their aircraft. We\u2019re seeing this emergence of electric and hydrogen propulsion. The 2030s might be the decade of electric aircraft and then the 2040s might be the decade of hydrogen-powered aircraft. You\u2019re also seeing all this innovation in these electric vertical takeoff and lift aircraft, or as we like to say, urban air taxis. There\u2019s hundreds of companies out there working and they\u2019re innovating, and they\u2019re bringing fresh ideas to the marketplace. Big and small companies, all involved with it, just like back in the 1920s. Some of it generates excitement because people can see themselves and how it can change their life. You see companies like Uber working on air taxis, and you see all these companies working on these personal air vehicles. So, think about it, you can take off from your home, you can fly to where you work, you can recharge for the day, and then you can fly home again and this is all being done in an autonomous air taxi so that you\u2019re able to relax on your short flight to work instead of your hour-long commute on the freeway. And so, these companies, there\u2019s a huge business case to develop air taxis. You go to places like Los Angeles or Dallas or big cities all over the world, where they\u2019re looking to unlock the gridlock, and replace it with the freedom and flexibility of air taxis, saving people time and money. All of a sudden now, instead of hour-long commutes on the road, you\u2019re now talking minute-long commutes &#8211; you know, tens of minutes-long commutes. And so, there\u2019s a lot of interest from a lot of people. It will really change the face of our mobility all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scott: <\/strong>Let\u2019s talk present day to near future. It seems electric vertical takeoff &#8211; the eVTOL as you\u2019ve already referred to &#8211; these aircraft are very hot right now. What are some of the challenges eVTOL startups are facing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dale: <\/strong>Yeah, so, these are much different design vehicles than what we have today. And so, as they\u2019re designing these things, there\u2019s challenges around their aerodynamics, the design of their rotor systems, the structures to make very lightweight structures. There\u2019s thermal challenges because they have all these electrical systems and the design of your batteries and how you\u2019re going to have enough power for these air taxis. There\u2019s complex systems, there\u2019s lots of software, and there\u2019s electrical systems. And, you know, even though we\u2019re talking about this in the context of urban air mobility, there\u2019s really a lot of similarity to a lot of our other aircraft challenges out there, as well, that from a technical standpoint, you know, you\u2019re seeing more electrical aircraft, you\u2019re seeing more software, you\u2019re seeing new demand for lightweight structures and more efficient aerodynamics. And so, some of the things that we\u2019ll be talking about with urban air mobility apply to everything that we do today. And similarly, these companies face the same trends and complexities that the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, as a whole, faces. These companies that are working on these eVTOL aircraft, they face the same pressures to reduce costs and schedule. They need to get to market faster, they need to be good stewards of their investors\u2019 money, and they need to be able to manage their programs effectively and obtain the technical performance that they need. We\u2019re seeing this, you know, continual increase program complexity and integration, especially with all the electrical systems and the software. And then, in general, we\u2019re just seeing increased electrification as companies look at these new electrical propulsion systems as well as look at ways to improve the overall reliability and maintainability of their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scott: <\/strong>Well, how do these eVTOL companies survive and even thrive in the face of so much complexity today? I would imagine cost and budget are a huge concern. And we talk about Siemens Xcelerator as a means to help companies with their digital transformation. Does that apply here as well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dale: <\/strong>Absolutely! I think, you know, the Xcelerator portfolio really brings together all the services, the software, the solutions, the cloud applications &#8211; it brings all of our solutions together in a single portfolio. And it\u2019s really about embracing digital transformation for these companies. It scales to any size of the company, or any size of program to really enable those programs, those companies to have, you know, full digital transformation. And then, as they grow, as the company grows, as their program grows, it scales up with them so you can continue building on the foundation of digital transformation that you started. What\u2019s this based on? It\u2019s based on having the comprehensive digital twin and digital threads &#8211; this very rich, robust understanding of how your product and your production processes work. And once you have that understanding, you\u2019re now able to reduce the risk of your designs or your production process as you go forward. We also bring in personalized and adaptable solutions using rapid application development. So, for competitive advantage, you need to be able to develop and personalize these solutions faster than the next guy. We bring that in as part of our Xcelerator solution. And then, finally, you have to be able to operate in this flexible and open ecosystem to really be able to incorporate the latest technology. The technology is happening so fast, the innovations are happening so fast that to gain true competitive advantage, you have to be able to incorporate it easily in a very flexible and open solution. So, when we combine all of these approaches, this really helps speed innovation and it\u2019s really a key element of your digital engineering strategy, as you seek to go faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scott: <\/strong>And when we talk about Siemens digital engineering strategy, I think of the digital thread of program execution excellence and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dale: <\/strong>When we talk about the Xcelerator portfolio in the context of aerospace and defense companies, it\u2019s really about how do we help them with program execution excellence? How do we help them go faster? So, when we think of program execution excellence, it\u2019s about developing and certifying products faster with less risk. It\u2019s about accelerating your production ramp-ups. It\u2019s about improving your product support and being able to provide superior customer support to your customers and reduce their operational costs. And the value to the customers &#8211; to our customers &#8211; is that they get to market faster with higher performing products. We bring this out in a number of what we call A&amp;D industry digital thread solutions &#8211; things like integrated program planning and execution (IPP&amp;E), which helps support companies with their program management, or our product engineering solutions or our manufacturing solutions. And so, we\u2019ve organized these solutions in the context of helping companies go faster, be more productive, and be more innovative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scott: <\/strong>You know, Dale, it feels like we\u2019re just getting started &#8211; and I\u2019m afraid we\u2019ve run out of time. But listeners, there are four more episodes planned. So really, we\u2019re just getting started. Dale, can you share with our listeners the upcoming topics of our innovation series?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dale: <\/strong>Yeah, absolutely, Scott. Innovation is really something I\u2019m passionate about. I can\u2019t wait to jump into these upcoming episodes. We\u2019re going to have some good discussions. And we\u2019ve brought several experts in to help with these discussions. So, in the next episode, we\u2019re going to talk about aerodynamics design with Durrell Rittenberg. And he\u2019s going to bring some of his experience and some of his background into how companies are solving the riddle of the aerodynamics design for their rotor development, for the actual just aerodynamics to get the performance that they need of the aircraft itself. And then, in episode three, we\u2019re going to talk about power density and thermal management with Thierry Olbrechts. And he\u2019s going to talk about some of the challenges that, as you have these electrical systems on the airplane, you have these huge needs for electrical power. How do you manage the thermal heating on the systems as well as the overall power density of your batteries? After that, a subject that I always enjoy talking about is we\u2019re going to talk about structural design using composites and additive manufacturing and that\u2019ll be episode four. And we brought John O\u2019Connor, one of our experts in this area of our composites and manufacturing solutions. We\u2019ll talk about how we make aircraft structures lighter, how we make them easier to build and how we make them more efficient. And then, finally, in episode five, we\u2019re going to talk about the EE and the eVTOL &#8211; the electrical system design. We\u2019ll bring in Tony Nicoli, and he\u2019ll talk about how companies are solving the challenges of their complex electrical systems design as they go through their design development certification processes. And so, we\u2019re really pleased to be talking about all these subjects, and we\u2019re pleased to have these experts joining us on these episodes as we go forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scott: <\/strong>Yeah, it sounds great! I\u2019m really looking forward to it. So, I think what we\u2019ve learned here today, in this short period of time, is that Siemens Aerospace and Defense is ahead of the curve when it comes to innovation. It just surprises me just what we\u2019re doing nowadays. You know, we\u2019re bringing the technology of tomorrow to our customers today in a number of very real and proven ways. So, thank you for visiting, Dale. My sincere thanks to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dale: <\/strong>Hey, no problem, Scott! And thanks for having me today.
