This presentation examines the impact of digital twins and artificial intelligence on the structural integrity of aircraft within the framework of Industry 4.0. From the perspective of the damage tolerance design paradigm adopted by the United States Air Force, advanced technologies such as embedded systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and artificial intelligence will be explored, highlighting their role in real-time monitoring, failure prediction, and fleet maintenance optimization. Application cases in the aerospace industry will be presented, demonstrating how these innovations enhance aviation safety and extend the lifespan of aircraft structures. Finally, the main challenges and future opportunities in this rapidly evolving field will be discussed.
