Representing Research Aircraft in Twinstash - Towards Data Analysis¶
Sebastian Haufe (DLR)
Abstract¶
The digital twin storage and application service hub (twinstash) is a software system developed within the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Its declared focus is the operation of digital twins for all thirteen DLR research aircraft. Regular flights of DLR aircraft equipped with thousands of sensors accumulate a continuously growing amount of time series data, a data treasure of high value for further research activities in different disciplines within the DLR. The twinstash system greatly simplifies the access to flight sensor data by providing upload, download, and search capabilities both programmatically via python and graphically via a browser-based user interface. The web GUI additionally allows a quick and intuitive navigation through the content. It provides tools to clearly visualize and compare flight trajectories and to efficiently analyze recorded sensor values. In this talk we will present the current state of the twinstash system including its recent major web GUI improvements and share insights obtained by querying the twinstash python interface such as the development of aircraft brake temperatures over multiple flights. An outlook will sketch our planned time line feature with components such as 3D models or measurement unit configurations.
