After utilizing Gartner's hype cycle to frame the general state of the ongoing digital transformation within the aerospace industry, this paper considers two attributes that should be considered in the creation of every digital model: (1) how accurately can we make it, and (2) how accurately should we make it? After concluding that a truly perfect digital clone is both infeasible and impractical in the near term, the paper highlights a variety of successes (i.e., 30 percent cost reductions and 25 percent weight reductions) that are already being achieved in industry and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) through imperfect Digital Twin models and related “disruptive” technologies.
