Which subject is this extended essay on? If it's related with a natural science, I think (not to be harsh) it would not be such a good idea because of the lack of experimental options unless you're able to narrow it down into something less general. What ideas for you have so far?

Hello,

I am glad to hear that you have chosen a topic in the field of aero engines for your extended essay. It is a fascinating and complex subject, and I am happy to provide some guidance for your experiment.

Firstly, it would be helpful to have a clear research question or hypothesis for your experiment. This will help guide your experiment and ensure that it is focused and relevant to your topic.

In terms of choosing an experiment, you could consider conducting a performance test on a specific aero engine model. This could involve measuring parameters such as thrust, fuel consumption, and emissions, and comparing them to the engine's design specifications. This would provide valuable insights into the engine's efficiency and performance.

Another option could be to conduct a materials analysis of different components of an aero engine. This could involve testing the strength, durability, and heat resistance of various materials used in the engine, and evaluating their suitability for specific parts.

I would also recommend consulting with your school's science department or a local university for access to equipment and resources for your experiment. Additionally, reaching out to professionals in the aero engine industry for advice and insights could also be beneficial.

I wish you all the best in your research and experiment. Good luck!
