The hiker is located in a remote, mountainous area where weather conditions are deteriorating, and the terrain is too challenging for traditional rescue methods. The clock is ticking, and the need for an immediate response is paramount. Emergency responders are faced with a dilemma\u2014how can they quickly and safely reach the injured hiker before the situation worsens? This scenario underscores the vital role of advanced air service technology. The Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC), responsible for overseeing airspace safety and compliance, coordinates the deployment of a medical emergency drone. This decision reflects a broader trend in aviation technology, where Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) are becoming essential tools in enhancing not only emergency response<br>operations but also other critical sectors such as logistics, infrastructure inspection, and<br>transportation. The integration of these innovative technologies into existing airspace<br>systems is not without its challenges. Safety, regulatory compliance, and airspace<br>management become more complex as the skies fill with manned and unmanned vehicles.<br>To address these challenges, ENAC embarked on a transformative project\u2014HyperTwin.<br>This sophisticated digital twin platform is designed to streamline the authorization and<br>management of innovative air services like drone operations. By utilizing advanced<br>simulations and real-time data analysis, HyperTwin aims to improve decision-making and<br>ensure the safety of airspace in complex and critical situations.<br>In this teaching case, we will explore the strategic decision-making processes behind<br>HyperTwin\u2019s development, the technological challenges ENAC faced, the collaborative<br>efforts with various stakeholders, and the communication strategies employed. This case<br>not only provides a detailed look at how HyperTwin came to be but also delves into broader<br>implications of digital transformation for the aviation industry and public administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"button arr featured-links\" href=\"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Spagnoletti_ENAC_case_01.pdf\" title=\"\">Download Case Study<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"button arr featured-links\" href=\"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/digital-twin-for-innovative-air-services-enabling-air-mobility-through-ai-teaching-notes\/\" title=\"\">Request Teaching Notes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Andrea Giannobile, Paolo Spagnoletti &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Abstract: In the picturesque yet rugged terrains of Northern Italy, a distress call from [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":94104,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"twitterCardType":"","cardImageID":0,"cardImage":"","cardTitle":"","cardDesc":"","cardImageAlt":"","cardPlayer":"","cardPlayerWidth":0,"cardPlayerHeight":0,"cardPlayerStream":"","cardPlayerCodec":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1189],"tags":[1665,1666,1458,1667],"Master":[],"class_list":["post-91899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-case-studies","tag-communication-en","tag-decision-making-2-en","tag-innovation-en","tag-transformation-2-en"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91899"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":94965,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91899\/revisions\/94965"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91899"},{"taxonomy":"Master","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessschool.luiss.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/Master?post=91899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
