Aerospace Engineering Admission

Cessna’s Engineering and design feature shows that their aeronautical engineers have imagined hundreds of original aircraft concepts into clean sheet designs advancing to the latest computer-enhanced technology and flight-simulation tools and, finally, to prototype.

I have been involved with aviation my entire life. Surprisingly enough, it all began with paper airplanes. As a young child I spent many of my days folding a variety of different paper airplane designs, exploring how each different fold would change the way it flew. As a result, this piqued my interest to explore the fundamentals of aviation. I could spend hours reading about aircraft design and learning about the history of flight. A few years later, at the age of nine, I saved up for my first radio controlled airplane. This was my introductory to radio controlled flight and taught me countless valuable life lessons. After several years of flying model airplanes, I decided to build my first racing drone. It was equipped with a first person view (FPV) video system. This allowed me to fly it from the drone's perspective, providing a bird's eye view of the landscape below. FPV gave me an entire new sense of freedom. With the headset on, I was no longer bound to the earth, but brought the ability to soar like an eagle. It's been almost two years since I first flew a

AIAA has earned an international reputation as the preeminent publisher of cutting-edge aerospace books and journals, and the leading source of aerospace industry archives, dating back to the early 1900s. Over the past eight decades, AIAA and its predecessor organizations have published over 300 books and almost 200,000 technical articles. AIAA’s current publications include seven technical journals, a magazine, three book series, national and international standards documents, a growing number of e-books and other electronic products, and a full-service, interactive Web site. For the most authoritative technical publications, look to

in Aeronautics with a concentration in Aeronautical Systems Engineering Technology at Kent State University. During my four years at Kent State University, I was challenged, motivated, and during that time became a leader. I helped create an American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics student organization at Kent State. I am the former President and Vice President of that organization, and also composed a Constitution for future students to abide by. I was also a Board Member on the Kent State Student Advisory Board. My senior design project consisted of a project nicknamed The Flash, which was a capstone project in the AERN 45700 Aircraft Design class. The design team, which consisted of myself, and the other students in the class, designed a twin engine jet aircraft around two experimental DGEN 380 turbofan engines while achieving optimal performance requirements. I was responsible for calculating the performance of the aircraft while in flight, calculating the weight of the aircraft, and gathering performance data of the DGEN engines by using a Price Induction WESTT Virtual Engine Bench. In addition, I headed the manufacturing and program management areas of the

Aerospace Engineers design aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, and other airborne objects. Creating prototypes of these designs and testing them is also a primary part of the job. They may also evaluate the designs of other engineers to ensure that the idea meets certain ethical, safety, and environmental standards. It is not unusual for Aerospace Engineers to oversee the building process as well, ensuring that proper deadlines are met. Typically an Aerospace Engineers specializes in either aeronautical or astronautical design, which will determine whether they work with aircraft or spacecraft.

Ever since I was little I was amazed at the ability for a machine to fly. I have always wanted to explore ideas of flight and be able to actually fly. I think I may have found my childhood fantasy in the world of aeronautical engineering. The object of my paper is to give me more insight on my future career as an aeronautical engineer. This paper was also to give me ideas of the physics of flight and be to apply those physics of flight to compete in a high school competition.

Something that makes me unique compared to other applicants applying to the University of California is my personal experience with engineering and dedication to improving the world. Being a High School Aerospace Scholar, I got to spend a week in NASA indulging myself in the STEM experience and learning about why and how engineering is necessary. Along with the hands-on experience in building rovers, rockets, and capsules, we got to know the history of engineering and how it has contributed to today's age. The most surprising however was that no matter how outdated a piece of technology becomes, it will continue to pave the way for future innovation. Just like engineers from the past, I want to leave my mark and be known for what I have achieved,

Aerospace engineering has come a long way since the first powered aircraft was built in 1903 by The Wright Brothers. Do you think the brothers thought that an aircraft would have a wingspan of their first flight (36.5m)? Aerospace engineering is a lot different since the Wright Brothers, now aircrafts can carry 850 people, defy gravity, take off without a runway, go into space, and some need no pilots. One of the best colleges to learn about aerospace engineering is Hartpool College in England. Here you can learn all the responsibilities to be an aerospace engineer. You must get a bachelor's degree and learn cutting edge technology as well as how to maintain the safety of people and the equipment. Other skills a students would learn are

This project is intended to give the student an improved understanding of aircraft dynamic behavior thought the use of a SIMULINK flight simulation. The student is to use knowledge of flying and handling qualities to appropriately grade a certain maneuver, of a certain aircraft, under a certain condition. The student is to modify the performance of an aircraft through the implementation of a control law.

Have you ever wanted to build, fly, or design an airplane? What about design or test a military missile? Are you interested in air or space travel? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might have what it takes to be a Aerospace Engineer. I like to interact with things that fly; like missiles, space shuttles, airplanes, and much more. This is the reason that I decided to go into Aerospace engineering.

In today’s economy, college can be used as an investment into yourself for numerous reasons. The most essential reasons are to make more money, have better opportunities, and networking with others to lead you to an ideal lifetime. As for myself, I’m going to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to attain my Aeronautical Science Degree to further understand the principles of flight. During my four years I will study and train to increase my skill in aircraft handling and eventually increasing my ratings from single engine to multi-engine, VFR to IFR, and from private pilot to Commercial pilot license.

Job Description: Aerospace engineers’ jobs are designing, creating, testing, and the supervision of the making of aircrafts, space crafts, and missiles. Some of the most advanced technologies today are developed by people who work in this field. Aerospace engineers have developed, tested, and created things like lightweight gliders, airplanes that weigh over half a million pounds, communication satellites, and the international space station. Aeronautical engineers and astronomical engineers are the two categories aerospace engineers are usually broken into. Aeronautical engineers generally work with aircraft, while astronomical engineers generally work with spacecraft. However, all aerospace engineers must have an understanding of include the field’s core subjects, such as aerodynamics, propulsion, thermodynamics, and guidance and control systems. Engineers typically specialize in one area such as structural design, propulsion systems, instrumentation, communications, or production methods. Aerospace engineers are important as the communication

Since the beginning of recorded history, humans have always had a fascination with flight. Now that we live in a world where boarding an airplane and flying across the country – or even the world - is simply a part of everyday life, the wonder of flight has diminished for many. Despite this, physics students from all around continue to delight in the many physical forces that play a part in keeping these huge objects (like jumbo jets) from falling out of the sky!
