Aerospace Pt. 3

This article called "Next-generation rad-hard space microprocessor to be defined by Air Force and NASA" by John Keller is about how NASA and the Air Force is trying to build a next-generation rad-hard microprocessor for space, but they need a 2020 to 2030 space computer. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) made a request on the next-generation space processor (NGSP) which will take 3
months of analysis. The NASA and the Air Force are trying to make a space-qualifiable with a rad-hard that is made for manned and unmanned. First they will have to make a model of the space-qualifiable with the rad-hard and they will have to predict how will the power and the realistic performance and it will be their estimate of how the actual model will work.

The model will have pinpoint on it's landing that will include the direction it landed like if it is on a mission on Mars or on the Moon the NASA will know were is it located on. The model will have mirror control that have large space telescopes. It will have multi-megapixel level hyperspectral images (best quality pictures that are how humans see) to send back to the base (control). Their is a program that is worth $20 million and it is for some advance space computers that are meant for advance space missions for 2030.

U.S. Military evolving with Aerospace

When I was doing some search of how military has evolve with Aerospace engineering I came up with this article called "The U.S. Air Force and the American Aerospace Industry: A Soaring Partnership" by John W. Douglass he explains how military and Aerospace have evolve over the years. John writes that the Wright Brothers sold their First world's Aircraft to the US Army in 1909 for $30,000. He also writes that in the
same year the Weight Company made 4 aircraft's a month which made them the biggest aircraft manufacture in the world. In WWI the aircraft helped us by taking photographs of the enemy's trenches and their position. It also helped us with an increased artillery firing that is effectiveness. Other men that had aircraft's were hunting other men with aircraft's. In the late 1930's with President Roosevelt the aircraft production has been increasing. Roosevelt knew that the air power will take a huge roll in the conflict in Europe. In 1942 the US had both the technology and the industrial to built the world's best aircraft in the whole world.


In WWII the United States were victorious because of our aircraft and the force of entering the war. When Japan attacked us in Pearl Harbor they had a aircraft that was the best for air strikes called "Flying Tigers" (P-40). To make the Japanese surrender we had to dropping of atomic bombs with the B-29 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki they surrender on September 2, 1945.

The US Military has been evolving over the years and we entered the Jet Age. The industry has been engaging and building jets. When entering the jet age it led to aircraft called B-58 which can load off supply's, carry troops, and tanks. Aerospace industry was in a race for the jet airline market. The US built an aircraft based on a jet tanker was build for the Air Force. We built a new aircraft that was designed with a smoother, faster ride that has more room extra passengers. The Boeing s 747 was capable to seat 550 people and it as the world most largest commercial jet. With the design of the Boeing 747 later came the L-1011 and the DC-10. In the 1960s the aircraft for people "passenger jets" was the only passenger transportation.

Aerospace Questions

  1.  How has Aerospace involved during the past years?
  2.  How will technology help Aerospace engineers?
  3.  How will Aerospace help our military evolve in the next years?
  4.  How can Aerospace be beneficial to people that travel?
  5.  How can the United States evolve with Aerospace?

Aerospace Pt. 2

        Today I came up with an article called "High-school aerospace engineers design real-world light sport aircraft" by John Isaac, director of market development, Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division. It explained that High schools are going into competitions with other high schools and the program is called Real World Design Challenge (RWDC) which is funded by by government agencies like NASA, the FAA, and some of the world’s leading 40 aerospace companies including Northrup Grumman, Pratt and Whitney, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, SPACEX, and Cessna. The winner will go to Washington D.C. Every year Mentor Graphics and PTC donate over 700 million dollars' which is for software products that include training in the school. Some experts go to the school to help the students with the Aerospace design processes. The competition is free from charge and the teams travel to D.C. for Nationals which the sponsors pay for. A high school that has win twice is Baldwin High School in Baldwin, Kansas. This will help students to get a good education on college for what they have made and when they graduate college they could get hired by a good Aerospace Engineering program.

Aerospace



 Many people don't know a lot about Aerospace Engineering. Which that is OK because I am going to tell you quite enough about what is Aerospace Engineering and how it affects us. By the time that you have read this you might know more about Aerospace Engineering or learned something new that you didn't know before. Some of my post might have more information about Aerospace then what I have her. I hope that by the end you start to like Aerospace engineering.

       Aerospace Engineering is engineers that make some designs, construct, and use science to make Aircraft and Spacecraft. The Engineers make Aircraft, rockets, flying craft, and spacecraft. Most of the space craft are like satellites that orbit Earth. The aircraft are like airplanes, jets, helicopters, etc. Some aircraft's are use by the military and some by regular people to fly to different places of the world and some are for rescuing people from fires, lost in the ocean, etc.
