Aerospace Engineers

F35B

Within the broad category of “aerospace engineer“, there are structural analysts, thermal analysts, mechanical designers, electrical designers, environmental test engineers, orbital mechanics engineers, loads analysts, and probably half a dozen other specialties that I haven’t listed. There are software engineers, who write the software that either makes the space instrument take its measurements and return data to earth, or make control surfaces on planes respond to the pilots commands.

There are a lot of Aeronautical And Aerospace Engineering Colleges in the Us and abroad. Many have graduate programs. Where are all of these students going to get jobs?

Aerospace industry employment increased in 2005 after reaching a 50-year low a year earlier.

Aerospace Engineers work at places like Boeing, Rockwell Collins, and others

A high-strength aluminium alloy prepared by researchers in the US could significantly improve the performance of next-generation fighter aircraft, specifically the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

Developed at AMES, the US Department of Defence laboratory run by Iowa State University, the aluminium-yttrium-nickel-cobalt alloy has the potential to replace heavier and costlier components of ‘cool’ sections of jet engines, such as in fan blades.

GE Transportation Aircraft Engines is the world’s leading manufacturer of large jet aircraft engines.

Today, Pratt & Whitney engines power nearly half of the world’s commercial fleet. Every few seconds – more than 20,000 times a day – a Pratt & Whitney-powered airliner takes flight somewhere in the world.

More Rolls-Royce engines [are] built in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world

Bicycle Bells

Bike Bell

I get to Germany, and decide to go buy me a mountain bike, since I love to ride bikes. I visit my local bike shop, where the gruff but lovable Herr Wagner sells me a Specialized HardRock. He begins to screw a bicycle bell onto the handlebar.

“Oh, I won’t be needing that,” I told him.

“Yes, you will.”

The Meaning of Bicycle Bells is a fun story. I also like the rest of Andrew Hammel’s German Joys, including America-Bashing and Comparing Societies.

Stardust@home

Stardust

Astronomy buffs who jumped at the chance to use their home computers in the SETI@home search for intelligent life in the universe will soon be able to join an Internet-based search for dust grains originating from stars millions of light years away.

In a new project called Stardust@home, University of California, Berkeley, researchers will invite Internet users to help them search for a few dozen submicroscopic grains of interstellar dust captured by NASA’s Stardust spacecraft ~.

Implosion World

Implosion World

Implosionworld.com, LLC was established as an independent corporation in October 1999, and premiered in grand style with the world’s first real-time webcast of a building implosion project, live from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. From there, new site-related ideas and expansion projects literally flowed like tumbling debris (sorry), and included every type of web technology available: Streaming video, flash animation, more live webcasts – including links to other media outlets who were catching up – and several other forms of visual technology.
