My love for aviation began at a young age and at 16 I flew solo in a glider for the first time. A glider is very interesting in that it has no engine and relies on the basic fundamentals of aerodynamics to bring it back to the ground safely. This was one of the first types of fixed-wing aircraft to be invented and has been refined over the decades. The best part about Aeronautics is that you now have to refer to the discipline as Aerospace Engineering because of the incredible advancements in reaching for the stars. NASA has faded from the spotlight in the last generation, but private industry has come to take its place; including Space X, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin, to name a few. From satellites to space planes, space adventure will only expand, and when the big breakthrough in propulsion arrives, the sky will be the limit. Aeronautical engineering is the newest area of ​​engineering that only began in the 19th century. This new field will grow by expanding horizons and merging other engineering disciplines to create more efficient flight
