CAD software usage depends which particular area you enter into for Aerospace, if you are designing sector, you would require skills of CAD to design. If you enter hands on field, like technicians then it is alright. Mechanical is more general part of engineering as compared to Aerospace...

Good suggestions from you both, Lok and wingman, I will look them up. Thanks

Hi, In my design there are PCB boards. But i am worried the thickness of PCB will not be strong enough to withstand cracking and warp-age when under stress and strain. Is there any formula i can use to calculate vibration on the PCB so i can increase thickness via mechanical ribs...

So kind of you Greg, sadly no. I am really interested to know what's the atmospheric temperature of the commercial plane tail, APU surrounding when APU is running at maximum potential.

Berkeman, Kudos to keeping this forum neat :)!

no, not for money, for recognition and contribution. :smile:

In engineering innovation, sadly you can't do trade secrets like coca-cola where only you know the concoction, and buyers just need to taste it with their tongue. So much easier! The art of reverse engineering is a blessing and a curse.. :d

No, Simon, it is actually an innovation to self sustaining arc reactor.. Just kidding. Thanks all for the reply.. I think i will just go with non disclosure agreement. Seems like nowadays innovation are being strangled to death by hefty fees and capitalism.

Is it in anyway possible to sell my innovation without patenting it? The process takes 2year at least and a huge fee, i don't think its worth it, by then my product might be obsolete..

Hi, I am wondering has anyone sold any self- innovation or patent to external company before? If yes, what are the problem you will face? And how is it being sold? A lump sum once or by percentage of your product being sold in market? Do you need to build a prototype to sell the idea?Thanks

Your question is incomplete, there's no way for me to quantify any exact readings on meters without any given numerals like mass flow rate, known air pressure and temperature.

Seems like you got the correct answer, So what's the problem?

You should put it in the homework section of the forum. You will get better responses.

you should always gauge using maximum temperature of outer wall to calculate the thickness.

Its really up to you the designer actually regarding how much air discharge you want people to feel when passing through of course not too much or too little, find a good balance , most formula as such has 2 unknown variable, you get to fill it in and play around with the proportion.. For ware...
