US plane-maker believes partnerships strengthens its ability to test aircraft
Boeing is hiring the three biggest US cloud-computing companies — Amazon.com, Microsoft and Alphabet’s Google — to help with a digital makeover aimed at giving its aircraft designers and software developers more tools.
The manufacturing titan is rebooting its technology to help address quality lapses and production gremlins that drive up the costs of developing new aircraft. The aircraft manufacturer is investing in tools such as digital twins — virtual replicas of actual hardware — to model both the performance of its new aircraft concepts and the assembly lines that would build them.
Boeing did not disclose the financial terms of the new arrangement. The Information had reported last year that Amazon Web Services , Google Cloud and Microsoft’s Azure were competing for a contract worth more than $1bn over several years.
