WHAT IT IS TO BE AN AERONAUTICAL ENGINEER

After making up your mind to take up aeronautical engineering as your field of higher studies you must now be wondering what would i do as an aeronautical engineer? What does it take to be a quality aeronautical engineer who is recognised as a quality engineer by the industry? If you have got questions like that then you are at the right place to find the answers to your questions and learn what it means to be a true aeronautical engineer.

aeronautical engineers are always given with four main objectives:

• higher: aeronautics always deals with designing aircrafts that fly higher and higher and conquer more of the sky range as it has always been an amusement for every single human being to fly hiher and higher in the air.
• faster: the second most important aspect for an aeronautical engineer would be to design metallic birds that fly faster and faster witouh cuasing any damage to itself or anything else in its vicinity. the only aim of flying faster is to save more and more time because time is the costliest thing a man can ever loose.
• longer: flying longer without touching the grounds would be the most important of factors for an aeronautical engineer to consider to build an aircraft simply because the longer you fly with great speeds the more distance you cover which is the core intention of aerial transportation
• safer: Along with higher, faster and longer flights its of at most importance for an aeronautical engineer to have a safe flight for all those people dependent on him.

Going into aeronautical engineering lets first understand what is the job of an aeronautical engineer, as most of you people would have guessed by now it would be your job to build a good quality flying mechanical

bird. And your freedom to make errors as an aeronautical engineer will be very narrow, in fact its close to zero percent. Any smallest of errors caused by you could cost hundreds of lives of passengers and crew members on an aircraft. So the first and most important thing you get to become as an aeronautical engineer is becoming a person who is almost error free with his decisions and calculations.

Do not all that excited and happy that you will be an error free person by becoming an aeronautical engineer, it takes a lot of hard work and months & years of practise to become one such quality engineer. So all of you who have decided to become an aeronautical engineer think again before choosing this branch of engineering. Do choose it if you are willing to work hard and put in more than the best of your efforts to be a quality engineer because unlike other branches of engineering you have no room for making error in this field. You make too many errors you loose your job go home and sit back for the rest of your life because the chances of you getting a job after making minor and silly errors in this field is very thin. There have been instances in past where engineers have been jailed for their entire lifetime for very infinitesimally small errors which cost lives of passengers and flight crew.

After discussing about the punishments you get for small errors you do in this field of engineering let us now also talk about the rewards that you can get as an aeronautical engineer. Well the first and most common reward anybody would look for is good salary packages and that's what you get. Yes as a good qualified aeronautical engineer you can expect attractive salary packages and expect it to grow big very quickly within very small time. But it comes with additional work load. just getting an aeronautical engineers degree from a university wont get you good pay packages you need to learn to apply your knowledge on real time simulation software's in which you can simulate the flow conditions over various components of an aircraft and prove it practically with experimental results as well. Moreover the salary that you get as a fresher in aeronautical engineer is nothing great when compared to other branches of engineering, but as you start gaining experience the hike in salary you start getting is significantly high when compared to your peers in other fields of engineering. with addition to the salary packages offered to you the other respect you get is that you are the one responsible for the safe flight of so many millions of people on any airline.
 People are able to travel longer faster and higher and safer just because of you. And the joy and proud feeling you get because of this fact is really nit comparable with the money that you can earn as an engineer. though they say the air warriors rule the skies the fact remains that its not the air warriors that rule the skies but its the magnificent metallic birds that you built that rule the skies and without you the sky warriors are never really the warriors of sky.
