This paper addresses the scale differences between overall UAV loading and structural detail damage. The integration of load tracking, multi-level structural analysis, and probabilistic crack growth models into a UAV digital twin offers a comprehensive solution, demonstrating efficiency and accuracy and paving the way for real-time damage prediction using the digital twin methodology.
