During the Apollo program, NASA created physical copies of rockets that were able to help engineers solve technical problems when an oxygen tank exploded. These early on-paper models led to the development of the digital twin, a way of having a computer-based platform that can mirror a physical product. And now the aerospace industry is developing digital triplets.
