Does anybody know of a book that addreses/talks about how Prandtl showed that an aircraft passing overhead will leave a "footprint" on the Earth in the form of an extremely small pressure change over a huge area?
An aerospace engineer is a scientist who applies principles of physics and mathematics to design, develop, and test aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles. They are responsible for designing and creating components such as engines, wings, and control systems, as well as conducting performance and safety tests.
Aerospace engineers need a strong background in mathematics, physics, and computer science. They should also have excellent problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as well as the ability to work in a team. Good communication skills and attention to detail are also important for this field.
Aerospace engineering involves the design and development of aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles, while aeronautical engineering specifically focuses on the design and development of aircraft. Aeronautical engineering is a subset of aerospace engineering.
Aerospace engineers may be responsible for designing and testing new aircraft or spacecraft, creating technical drawings and specifications, analyzing data and performance metrics, and overseeing the manufacturing and production process. They may also collaborate with other engineers and scientists to develop new technologies and improve existing designs.
Aerospace engineers can specialize in various areas such as aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, materials science, and space systems. They may also focus on a specific type of aircraft or spacecraft, such as commercial airplanes, military jets, or satellites. Some aerospace engineers may also specialize in research and development or project management.
