The Application of Metaverse in Aviation Industry

This paper examines the potential applications of Metaverse technology in the aviation industry, including design, inspection, manufacturing, quality control, maintenance, as well as command and control. The Aviation Industry Metaverse offers a multi-dimensional world through data sharing, independent user identity IP, and fusion of virtuality and reality. For example, Virtual design centers can reduce R&D costs and improve efficiency, while virtual inspections ensure safety and accuracy. Virtual manufacturing workshops can improve production efficiency and product quality. To create an Aviation Metaverse, three technologies must be utilized: information access technology, core Metaverse technology, and data technology. The information access architecture enables users to experience all-round sensory immersion experiences involving sight, hearing, touch, and natural interaction through XR terminals, natural interaction, and dynamic simulation methods. The core Metaverse technology can provide technicians with unified, sustainable, and application-oriented technical support, including the “cloud & network & edge” collaborative platform architecture and digital twin technology. In addition, Aviation Metaverse needs to build an integrated data platform to achieve shareable, high-security, and high-value data services.
