An aerospace engineer is a planer and builder of objects such as planes, missiles, helicopters, weapons and many other things involving aerodynamics . Aerospace engineers are very important today because they play a key role in the creation and innovation of new flying machines. They have played an important role in the maintenance and prosperity of today's transportation and commerce systems ("Aerospace Engineers Aerospace"). Aerospace engineers also repeatedly test many different types of aircraft to ensure they are safe for the public. In addition to having many different tasks to perform, aerospace engineers also have to take on many tasks. To be an aerospace engineer, they must have great mental capacity to perform all the tasks required by their job. Aerospace engineers must have knowledge of propulsion, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, flight mechanics and structural analysis. They must also take into account cost analysis, reliability studies, maintainability, marketing and management (“Aerospace Engineers Encyclopedia” 62-66). Aerospace engineers can also be project managers or floor managers of a factory. In addition to their main task, they may be required to write technical reports, performance reports and many other documents (“Aerospace Engineers Aerospace”). Aerospace engineers must have a great deal of knowledge about their work, but they must also know a lot about their work environment and the tools they must become accustomed to using. Aerospace engineers must get used to computer and office work if they want to succeed in their field. . According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “aerospace engineers now spend more time in the office working with computers than ever before.” Every ty ...... middle of paper ...... to everyone who loves airplanes and their design. I would mainly say this because your entire job is to think, design, manufacture, test and manage the production of aircraft, missiles and helicopters. Although it's not the most important job in today's society, it still plays a vital role in how we think and travel by air. Works Cited “Aerospace Engineers”. Aerospace engineers.
