I guarantee that a time in your life you asked yourself who develops Spacecrafts and Aircraft's? And 9/10 times the answer would be NASA. Well, in a way you're right but the Master minds behind these developments are aerospace engineers. Aerospace engineering is the primary branch of engineering concerned with the research, design process, development, construction, testing, science and technology of aircraft and spacecraft. Aerospace engineers do various things. Such as design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites and missiles. They also test prototypes. Aerospace engineers study the necessary physics for the designing aircraft that will fly. Some may ask how do they do it? The answer is simple.... the basic principles of physics. Physics is the natural science that involves the study the matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. Also, aerospace engineers specialize in two types of engineering. Which is aeronautical and astronautical. Aeronautical engineers works with aircraft's. They work with the theory, technology, and practice of flight within the earths atmosphere. On the other hand, Astronautical engineers works with the science and technology of spacecraft and how they perform inside and outside our atmosphere. The engineers aren't really hands on , they spend most of their time in an office environment because designing requires a sophisticated computer equipment. In order to be a aerospace engineer you must have your bachelor degree in aerospace engineering. You also need to have important qualities. These qualities are analytical skills, business skills, critical-thinker skills, math skills and writing skills.The median annual wage for aerospace engineers was 103,720 in May 2012.Which is $49.87 per hour. Hence, Aerospace engineers will change the way we look at life. They continue to create innovative ideas to make life better.
