AR & VR Metaverse in Aerospace

Unlike any other industry, the aviation industry has to adopt the highest standards of regulation and checks to ensure the safety and reliability of the aircrafts. Also constant updates in regulations, equipment and technology means that the requirements to keep the aircrafts air worthy and ground checks need to be carried out with highest degree of precisions and expertise. Even the aerospace manufacturing requires special skills for both assembly and inspection, that has catapulted MRO into a specialized industry.

Mixed Reality can play a pivotal role in this highly advanced and complex segment and VR has already been successfully deployed for pilot training for several years. Using AR, MRO engineers can reduce turnaround time, order spares while carrying ground inspection, carry complex repairs and checks under remote expert guidance and can train young engineers without the necessity of having access to physical airplanes or specific parts saving costs and time

MR use cases

Pilot Training simulators
Guided Ground checks instructions for new MRO Technicians
Remote Assist / Troubleshooting for critical checks
Safety Trainings for airplane and ground crew
Assembly instructions for assembly line workers
Line inspection for assembly
Spare Part identification and 3D BoM
Maintenance instructions and integration with maintenance records
Training aid for new airplane models and MRO requirements
