My lifelong exposure to aerospace has given me a very strong passion for aircraft and the engineering processes behind their production and operation. My ambition is to further my knowledge in this fascinating discipline and create a career from my skill.
Partially responsible for my captivation is the strong connections to this industry in my family. My Uncle is an engineer in Boeing’s space division and his line of work was what originally drove my curiosity as a child. Living in a part of England peppered with air traffic, I would often peer to the skies in awe of jets ferrying passengers to faraway destinations.
My fascination with aircraft over years had turned into a desire to understand the “magic” behind flight. At age 14 I undertook flying lessons at Cambridge Airport to pursue an EASA Private Pilot’s License. Three years later, I had attained my licence with 50 flying hours, joining the ranks of only 30,000 holders in the UK and becoming one of the UK’s youngest to ever do so.

All of my training aircraft were serviced at Marshall Aerospace’s on-site light aircraft maintenance facilities and it was here that I began to experience for myself the technicalities behind aero manufacture and engineering. I would frequently watch documentaries like “Air Crash Investigation” and realised that they were a haunting testament to the level of precision required for success in the aerospace industry, and the devastating consequences that occur if this precision is not adhered
That is why aerospace file is mysterious and interesting. The flying object always catches attention of everyone and every human have
Feng Ru in “The Father Of Chinese Aviation,” built his first aircraft ever in his life, but he kept failing and dies in a flight accident after his comeback. The author, “Rebecca Maksel,” showed the
He believed that “industrialization made a country great, and felt that industrialization could do that same for China” (Maksel). Though Feng Ru died in a crash in his homeland, he did not feel he died in vain. In fact, he used his dying breath to encourage his assistants to carry on his work because he recognized its importance to the country. To this day, he is heralded as the “father of Chinese aviation”
Chuck Yeager has been a legendary hero of the aerospace industry since his first flight in 1947. Yeager's legacy continues to inspire future generations of pilots and aerospace engineers, cementing his place in aviation history as a true pioneer and hero. Yeager modeled essential traits for pilots during the early days of aviation. Tom Wolfe presents Chuck Yeager as a skilled and fearless pilot with a strong sense of determination, self-confidence, and resilience, highlighting the crucial role of these traits in Yeager's successful accomplishment of complex and risky tasks, and in shaping his image as a hero of the aerospace industry. Wolfe states that “It was the drawl of the most righteous of all the processors of the right stuff: Chuck Yeager.”
The wright brothers affected the evolution of aviation in a multitude of ways that established the guidelines and kick started the progress of heavier-than-air aircraft. By designing and creating the “flying machine” the Wright brothers were able to make history. Starting from the basic shape of the fuselage and empennage, our airplanes are still modeled in this manner. Not only were they the first ones to create it, they found the most aero-dynamic and functioning ways at the time to make their contraption. Over a 100 years later and with all the technological progress we still base of our most complicated research of their initial designs and ideas such as the cable operated flight controls.
“The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space, at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air” (Burton). With the absence of advanced mechanics in the 1800s, the idea of aviation was merely an unrealistic fantasy. Among the numerous attempts to fulfill this dream, only one achieved triumph. Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright's persistence and dedication towards flight was rewarded with the successful launch of the first flying machine. As eminent American inventors and pioneers in technology, the Wright brothers' invention of flight allowed a prodigious advancement in science, created an upspring in America's economy during the 20th century and served as a foundation for America's victory in major wars.
Did you know that one of the resources the Wright Brothers used was a toy- -that you spun and it flew upwards. Also, they used airplane plans that failed and corrected them to find out how control airplanes. They also watched how birds fly to know how to control a airplane at flight.
Although many of the first aircraft produced were not very safe, many significant improvements were made in the coming years reaffirming the belief in the effectiveness of the
Ever since grade school, I was passionate about working in the field of medicine, and science. I enjoyed anatomy, medical spelling and terminology, and reading about the healthcare industry. Because of my passion for healthcare, I decided to to attend Health Sciences High. There, I was given the best opportunities, such as, medical internships and college health courses. My plans and goals had turned me into a mature young adult.
In the modern era, a world lacking airplanes seems unfathomable. While planes may seem commonplace in contemporary society and are often overlooked, they have contributed greatly to the history of the world, and should not be taken for granted. The invention and industrialization of airplanes had a massive impact on many countries, especially the United States and Great Britain. The military and travel capabilities of both countries exponentially increased, and each thrived because of that. The industrialization of airplanes established an innovative new empire generating massive numbers of jobs through factories.
Mankind has always had an obsession with flying. The Wright brothers made the first airplane that was able to fly and land on its own power, and after WWII mankind become obsessed with reaching the moon. In 1969 Neil Armstrong did just that. All of these works were made possible by the
During World War, I, the United Kingdom and France collectively produced around 130,000 aircrafts and Germany produced around 50,000 aircrafts. Whereas in World War II, the United Kingdom alone produced around 130,000 aircrafts and Germany produced 120,000 aircrafts. Ultimately, it is evident that the development of technology throughout
Hundreds of years ago, humans gandered into the sky and marveled the winged creatures that took flight above them. The fascination of flight once captivated the world, the Wright Brothers, Charles Lindbergh and Emilia Earhart were among the most famous people in the world at their time because they proved to the public that flying through the air is possible and a true luxury that all should experience, given the opportunity. The opportunity to fly in the early days of aviation was extremely expensive making it the ultimate status symbol among the elite. Men and women wanted to be a part of this new and opulent concept of flying, the only way to do so was to become a pilot or stewardess but the odds of landing one of these coveted positions

Mid-Term Paper – Boeing Analysis MGMT 658 Abstract Unlike other manufacturing industries, aircraft manufacturing is considerably large and complicated. It is a field with high risk involvement. Losses incurred can be quite huge due to the size of the industry. Being the case, the aircraft manufacturing industry calls for intrinsic planning and comparatively larger pool of skilled and cooperative manpower for successful production.
