Are you interested in science? Do you find airplanes, spacecraft, and rockets fascinating? If so, a career as an aerospace engineer might be perfect for you. Aerospace engineers are responsible for researching, designing, developing, testing, and overseeing the manufacture and maintenance of aerospace vehicles and systems.
Aerospace engineers work on a variety of projects, including commercial and military aircraft, rockets, spacecraft, and satellites. They specialize in flight testing, aerodynamics, structures, propulsion systems, and more.
Aerodynamics engineers focus on airflow dynamics to design aircraft and analyze aerodynamic loads using simulations and wind tunnels.
Structural engineers ensure aircraft and spacecraft are structurally sound through analysis and testing for safety and reliability.
Design engineers create new aircraft designs and improve existing ones using computer-aided design software.
Materials engineers select suitable materials for aerospace vehicles based on heat resistance and strength-to-weight ratios.
Project management engineers ensure quality products are produced on time and within budget.
