This made all of America open their eyes…

Drones. Helicopters. Quadcopters. They all have to do with aerospace engineering. The first quadcopter was made in 2008 (Brain,2015). Aerospace engineering is a great career pathway for people who enjoy spacecraft and aircraft. Some questions people have about aerospace engineering are; “What is aerospace engineering? How can you become an aerospace engineer? What are a couple good colleges to go to for aerospace engineering? Why do people want to become aerospace engineers?” All of these…

Without the genius inventions brought to the surface by Lawrence Sperry, we would not have been able to advance in our knowledge of aviation–or fly once it became dark outside. Autopilot, as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is “a device for automatically steering ships, aircraft, and spacecraft”. Mr. Sperry is the man who brought this device–made by his father and improved by him–into the aviation world, which was an enormous leap in the process of improving airplanes. He had reduced…

When he was six years old that is when he first got to fly in a airplane. When he was 15 years old he had his pilot license before he got his drivers license. The rocket x-5 was the fastest airplane in the world and Neil Armstrong got to fly it as a test pilot. After he was in the Korean war that is when he got to fly the x-5 rocket. Neil Armstrong went…

I then rammed my shoulder into the ceiling again, though I kinda forgot to warn my friends what I was planning and they both let out frightened squeaks. “Whoops, my bad dudes,” I thought to Tarin as she and Cass gave me a death glare.

The Hydra troops, who I’ve found have either the worst or best timing, chose to enter that room at…
