What do you do as an Aerospace Engineer and what kind of jobs might you have? The list is long. You have people who integrate and program avionics (auto-pilot, flight data recorder), then you have the stress people who size components and assess fail safe condition and expected lifetime, then the weights people who provide weight and balance limits and condition depending on playload placement and fuel remaining, then there are the systems people who look after the hydraulic control systems, pressurization, de-icing, landing gear; then there are the dynamics people who look after vibration in the airframe, the loads people who look after the loading repartition (they work closely with the stress people naturally) and the aerodynamics folks who design the contours, and those that assess stability and control and flight performance, to name a few. Source(s): What do you think: I AM an aerospace engineer The field of aerospace can be broadly classified into 3 major divisions - (i) Aerodynamics (ii) Structures (iii) Propulsion. All these divisions are inter-related in one way or the other. Like when you want to work in gas turbines ,which comes under propulsion, you will have to know the flow physics that occurs inside a gas turbine (aerodynamics) and the structural limitations of the materials that are used (structures). As an aerospace engineer , you can specialize in any of these divisions. Under aerodynamics , you'll deal with all the physics that involve the flow of around objects (like aircraft wings,for eg. ) and also other areas like aircraft stability and control, aircraft performance etc.. In structures, you'll study about the various stresses,strains, vibrations etc,. that act on the various load bearing members (wings, aircraft fuselage etc.) In propulsion,as the name suggests, you'll deal with the propulsion of an aircraft/spacecraft which includes designing a gas turbine, calculating its thermodynamic parameters etc. This is the very generic description of the work of an aerospace engineer. |
