An Aeronautical Engineer. . . . . . .A chat

Hello!

As earlier promised, the following is an excerpt of the interview I had with an Engineer from the Arik Airline, Lagos, Nigeria. Please do read on. . . .

Nice meeting you Sir, Could you pls, tell us your name:
Engnr. Emmanuel F.O.

Area of Specialization:
Science.

Present Profession:
Aeronautical Engineering (Avionics)

Who is an Aeronautical Engineer
An aeronautical engineer applies scientific and technological principles to research, design, maintain, test and develop the performance of civil and military aircraft, missiles, weapons systems, satellites and space vehicles. The role is focused on enhancing high-quality flight safety and standards, as well as reducing system costs and, increasingly, the environmental impact of air travel. Aeronautical engineering offers a wide range of roles. Most engineers specialise in a particular area, such as research, design, testing, manufacture or maintenance. I am a quality assurance engineer.

How long have you been in your profession?
9 years of experience

What prompted you into your present profession?
My passion and keen Interest in airplanes

School Graduated from and Degree
I graduated from the Federal University Technology, Akure (FUTA) with a B.Tech in Physics Electronics.

Best Subjects in School:
Physics and Mathematics. To major in Aeronautical Engineering, you’ve got to be good in Mathematics and Physics subjects.

Interest in Sports?
No

Aspiration in Life
To live a comfortable life

Admonition for the youth
To be goal-getters in life, they must be goal-setters, hardworking and ready to pursue their goals diligently. I wish them the very best in life too.

Thank You.

Aeronautics is the design and construction of aircraft and the theory and practice of aircraft navigation.

Aeronautical engineering deals with the design, manufacture, maintenance, testing and use of aircraft.

Aerospace Engineering is closely allied to aeronautics and aeronautical engineering but it includes the study and development of rocket engines, satellites, and spacecraft.


Aerodynamics is a branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the motion of air and other gaseous fluids, and with the forces acting on bodies in motion relative to such fluids.
