Hello,

I'm new to this forum so please bear with me! I am a Math and Mechanical Engineering Double major who is considering getting my PhD in Math. I want to become a Math professor after I receive my PhD, and I have always had a love of airplanes, so I was wondering if there are any topics I could focus my research on that would incorporate Math and Aircraft?

Thanks!

If I were to research Fluid Dynamics, would I have to get my Masters and PhD in Mechanical Engineering?
