Hello Everybody,
I am planning to move into Aerospace designing as aerodynamics is one of my desires to work in.
Currently I am working as Design Engineer(more of CAD Designer with CAD tool- CATIA, Solid Works) for last 2 years. My current working domain is Automotive. Please guide me on Future scope in Aerodynamica and CFD as a Career tools. Also suggest on necessity of any course related to aerodynamics/CFD to move into Aerospace domain.

Thanks in advance.

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
