Question: Have you ever wanted to work on aircraft?

Hi!

Yeh, I thought I would end up working on commercial aeroplanes or helicopters. Both of these are exciting vehicles to design, the most recent scientific advancement in aircraft design is the use of special light-weight materials which helps to reduce the aircraft weight (and therefore reduces fuel requirements). And more recently, there have been tests using aeroplanes that fly without a pilot!
