Digital Twin, in its most basic form, consists of physical entities, virtual entities (digital twin) and the connection between these two entities. The connection provides bi-directional and instantaneous data transmission. This capability gives us the option to reduce costs, shorten the process and make mistakes before production. As can be understood from here, making changes to the product (e.g. fixing a bug or optimizing) at the design stage, which is the very beginning of the process, regardless of the reason, will allow subsequent processes to progress more smoothly. For this reason, it may be possible to complete the entire process more accurately, safely, quickly and cost-effectively by using DT in the early stages of design.
In the light of this information, the use of DT in the design phase is discussed in more detail in this study, and it is aimed to provide an infrastructure for later design studies.
Also in this study ”what is DT?”,” What is it used for?”,” What are the advantages?” Their questions will be answered, and their basic functions, modeling and modeling types in the virtual field, and data processing through applications in the aviation field are detailed.

Havacılık Alanında Dijital İkiz Uygulamaları

Öz

Dijital İkiz, en temel hali ile fiziksel varlık, sanal varlık (dijital ikiz) ve bu iki varlık arasındaki bağlantıdan oluşmaktadır. Bağlantı çift yönlü ve anlık veri iletimi sağlamaktadır. Bu kabiliyet sayesinde fiziksel ürün meydana gelmeden, dijital ürün üzerinden fiziksel ürünün tüm özellik ve davranışları gözlemlenebilmektedir. Bu kabiliyet bize maliyet düşürme, süreci kısaltma ve üretim öncesi hata yapabilme olanağı tanımaktadır. Buradan da anlaşılabileceği gibi nedeni farketmeksizin üründe yapılacak değişikliklerin (örn. bir hatayı düzeltmek ya da optimizasyon yapmak gibi) sürecin en başı olan tasarım aşamasında yapılabilmesi sonraki süreçlerin daha sağlıklı ilerlemesine olanak sağlayacaktır. Bu nedenle tasarımın da ilk aşamalarında Dİ kullanılarak tüm süreci daha doğru, güvenli, hızlı ve düşük maliyetli bir şekilde tamamlamak mümkün olabilir.
Bu bilgiler ışığında, bu çalışmada tasarım aşamasında Dİ kullanımına daha detaylı değinilmiş ve bu çalışmanın daha sonra yapılacak tasarım çalışmaları için bir altyapı sağlaması amaçlanmıştır.
Ayrıca bu çalışmada “Dİ nedir?”, “Ne için kullanılır?”,” Avantajları nelerdir?” soruları yanıtlanacak olup havacılık alanındaki uygulamaları üzerinden temel işlevleri, sanal alanda modelleme ve modelleme çeşitleri ile veri işlemleri detaylandırılmaktadır.
