Hi, What is Banjo fitting?(In Aerospace) Application of it?

I will shortly be able to acquire a Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering. I am interested in designing aircraft as opposed to subsystems, but I am not enthusaistic about the various "system-of-systems" approach that essentially works to make new aero design codes(as opposed to new aero...

Hello people, I am a physics major in Canada, and I was just wondering if its possible to make the switch to aerospace engineering after doing a bachelor's in physics. Will I just have to take a couple of extra courses? or will I have to get a bachelor's in Aerospace as well...

I was wondering what kind of engineers do the actual assembly of the space rocket engines and other non-electrical devices in the aerospace industry, mechanical engineers right?

I am a little confused with these two, are aero engineering and Aerospace engineering the same? Thank you

hey, guys! im thinking of taking aerospace (or aeronautical) engineering as my course. but..can someone help me? need some info on the course.. mayB info about aerospace would be helpful jz to make sure i take the right course:biggrin:

Hi people, i am really in a deep trouble and i will be so happy if anyone can help. Any tips will be so appreciated and make a real different to what i am going through at the moment. i have got two question to answer. 1. Experiment of boundry layer on a flat surface : giving dtails of how...

I have been thinking about going into the aerospace industry and was wondering if a physics degree or a mechanical engineering degree would be more beneficial? Or, what are the pros and cons of having either of them and going into that industry?

Hey everyone, I'm a 1st year aerospace student, signed up for a 3 year bachelor of science degree. I'd just like to know what are the best books on various subjects in aerospace, such as aerodynamics, mathematics, mechanics etc. Obviously i already have some textbooks which my school...

hi, I am frm turkey and Ryt now I am in 3rd year of BSc physics. And i guess the thing I want to do is expore space. I want to do my MSc in US. Should I do my MSc in aerospace or continue with physics. Doing what out of these two would you advice. I want to design spacecraft s and that sort...

Hi I’m studying a Btec in aerospace engineering at the minute but next year I’m hoping to head off to university. But when I go I am hoping to get into Cambridge, seeing as this is pretty much the best engineering university in the UK. so when I go there I would like to be pretty book smart...

I was just wondering what kind of jobs that people have gotten with Aerospace Engineering... I would like to get a research and development job when I get out with at least my masters, although I might go ahead and get my Doctorate. What my ultimate goal is to be able to make traveling in space...

I was wondering if anyone knows anything on this topic... I know that Mechanical Engineers are found designing cars in the automobile industry, but does anyone know if aerospace engineers (with a degree in aerospace engineering as opposed to mechanical engineering) are qualified (and if they...

I am not sure which subforum to put this in. Well my questions are. Question 1 Explain the nature of the electromagnetic radiation ( The electromagnetic spectrum ). Include all forms of e-m radiation and applications to aerospace. Question 2 Comment on the physical characterstics of...

Hi I have completed my High school junior year recently. I have selected Aerospace Engineering as my career. So, I hope that based upon their own experience, someone will help me to know what things to take into consideration during the following years and specially this year, which will be my...

Can anyone tell me a good software that can be used in aerospace engineering or that can be used to understand and study aerospace engineering? It will be good if a demo is available so that I can try it. What about a free software?!

[FONT="Times New Roman"][SIZE="4"]Firstly, what is astrophysics exactly? Is it the same as astronomy? Also, can I study astrophysics after studying aerospace engineering? If so, is it worthwhile? or I just get simply two kinds of degrees?

Aerospace or Aeronautical? I'm a 17 year old IB student who takes the IB Diploma next year. My dream is to end up working on a high-flying Formula One (F1) team as their aerodynamisict. I also would like to work on plane models, space shuttles and cars...like designing them...I have a profound...

I have a question concerning a career move. I have a chance to switch from the nuclear industry to the aerospace industry. I am just wondering if this is smart or not. Based on the current events taking place in the world and the concern and threat of individuals acquiring and transporting...

Hi! :frown: I'm a High School junior and I've almost selected aerospace engineering as my career. But I'm still doubtful if this field is better compared to other engineering fields. I just want some suggestions from you people regarding positive and negative sides of choosing aerospace...

High, I'm a high school senior who is just starting to have to pick which college I go to, and what to major in. I know that I want to become an engineer, but the question is exactly what kind. I always wanted to become an aerospace engineer, I know I want to work in the aerospace industry. But...

I'm planning on going into aerospace engineering when my wife finishes school. At the University of Minnesota, the only mathematics that are required for the program are 3 courses in calculus, and one course in linear algebra and differential equations. As I already have a degree and will have...

Aerospace...what to expect?? Im thinking of switching my major from applied physics to Aerospace eng... I am really good at calculus and fairly good with physics. Is Aersopace going to be ridiculously hard, or just as hard as anything else compared to how much studying you put forth? And how...

Why do only a few engineering students take Aerospace engineering where as many of those take Mechanical and Electrical engineering at the Universities?

most airplanes are designed so that the outer tips of the wing are higher than the wing roots attached to the fuselage in order to: streamline the fuselage. i remember that's the reason, but i think I'm wrong.

Whose Aerospace technology is better, Russian or American?

Hi, I am an undergrad Aerospace engineering student, and I am going to start my junior year this Spring. I'm really interested in what I'm studying, but the job market for Aerospace engineers is predominantly federal. Does anyone know of, or can think of, or work for a company that is in need...
