Leonardo and Siemens Unite to Drive Innovation in HERWINGT

Submitted on Thu, 09/18/2025 - 11:45

Leonardo and Siemens Digital Industries Software (SISW IT) are proud contributors to one of the most forward-looking initiatives in Clean Aviation: the HERA project.

As a key partner in the HERWINGT project, Leonardo brings its extensive aerospace and defence expertise to the forefront. The focus? Designing and validating a new wing architecture tailored for hybrid-electric propulsion—a critical step toward more sustainable regional air travel.

To address the challenges of New Product Introduction (NPI), Siemens introduced its Closed Loop Manufacturing (CLM) solution. This approach ensures seamless data integration between Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) systems, enabling precise modelling of the Outer Wing Box, including all critical Bill of Process elements. The result is a robust foundation for advanced manufacturing planning and execution.

This collaboration stands as a powerful example of European engineering excellence and meaningful progress in the journey toward sustainable aviation.
