What are static load and dynamic load?
A static load is the effect of gravity on an object or structure.
A dynamic load is the forces that move or change when acting on a structure.
Example of a dynamic load:
Force of wind or the weight of a truck
Example of a static load:
Weight of a bridge
How long does an aerospace engineer work a week?
Engineers can work a normal US work week or spend overtime working until they are done with their current project(s). Usually AEs are alway working because they are thinking about their job all of the time.
Why work to a recognised standard when producing engineering drawings?
The simplest answer is that working to a standard means that anyone can read the drawing.
If there is no standard the symbols used on the drawing (weld type and size, surface finish, even the dimensioning of the components) would vary from one drawing (or draughtsperson) to another and cause confusion.
Engineering drawings use a large number of symbols to denote operations and instructions (which reduces the time taken to draw them and the size of "paper" they're drawn on).
Imagine the potential problems if one person used a symbol to mean "weld" and another one used the same (or similar) symbol to mean "do not weld".

How do elevators affect takeoff?
Elevators help your takeoff by raising the tail of the aircraft and putting the whole aircraft in 'flight' attitude.
How damp electrode can be detected?
Pre dry unusually damp electrodes for 30 - 45 minutes before final drying to minimize cracking of the coating that format.
What is the standard length to width ratio of a fuselage?
Um, there isn't one.
If there were a "standard" then all aircraft would be pretty much the same. And they aren't.
It depends on the design mission (think wide-body passenger aircraft versus the F-104 Starfighter for example), and a number of other considerations.
What are the 5 general components of a steering system?
The five general components of a steering system are the steering wheel, steering column, steering gear, linkages, and the wheels themselves. The steering wheel allows the driver to input direction, which is transmitted through the steering column to the steering gear, converting rotational motion into linear motion. The linkages connect the steering gear to the wheels, ensuring that turning the wheel effectively pivots the wheels in the desired direction. Together, these components enable precise control and maneuverability of the vehicle.
It works by moving against the air. The air's resistance creates most (or all) of the lifting force.
Lift is due mainly to the wing's angle of attack, forcing the air that the wing strikes downwards. The downward forcing of the air generates an equal-and-opposite upwards force that we call lift.
Be aware that the common and mistaken idea that lift is caused by "air moving faster over the curved top than the flat bottom" does not explain *most* of the lifting force.
If this were true, inverted flight would be impossible, as the "lift" would become "negative lift" and the airplane would plummet to the ground.
Some wings do give a small amount of lift at zero angle of attack, and this *is* due to the Bernoulli/venturi effect of differential camber.
If any lifting surface is an aerofoil, then some *do not* have differential camber (top and bottom curvatures).
There are *symmetrical* aerofoils (same top and bottom convex camber) flat ones (paper planes) and membranes (hang glider wings, parasails and kites).
To see this, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerofoil, check out the "lift and drag curves for a typical aerofoil" graphic.
What is scope in Aerospace engineering in Canada?
Highest pay in the field of engineering, plus it's a fulfilling job.
Who is the father of mechanical engineering?
James Watt was a mechanical engineer of 16th century who developed the concept of steam engines. Some consider him as the Founder of mechanical engineering.
Some considered Leonardo Da Vinci as the father of Mechanical Engineering.
Both the schools of thoughts, work only if we consider industrial revolution and product engineering as the base of engineering.
According to me, it is the first human who created the fire or invented a wheel or lever or a pulley or tried that kind of mechanisms to ease his job. He could be anybody.
How is geometry used in aerospace engineering?
I can't say anything for sure, because I am young and ignorant of trigonometry but I like to think in scientific stuff. but I guess its probably used to determine at what angle something is traveling at from a vector, and after that to know what it's trajectory would be.
How much does an aeronautical engineer make a month?
nearly 1.25 -3.00lakhs per annum for low level n 40000-1.25 lakhs per month for skilled n experienced aeronautical engineers..
What does the term drag mean in flight?
Drag is one of the four forces applicable to a flying aircraft: thrust, drag, lift and weight. Drag is the amount of resistance to forward motion caused by a solid body moving through a fluid (air is considered a fluid for the purpose of aerodynamics).
The easiest way to feel the effect of drag is to stick one's arm out a car window while it's moving. First do it palm-down (horizontal), and then palm-forward (vertical). The force, known as "drag", pushing the arm backward increases substantially when the palm is vertical. That force is the same effect that an aircraft in flight experiences due to the frontal area of its airframe forcing its way through the air.
The science of aerodynamics seeks to minimize the drag through streamlining and other design factors, since drag wastes fuel, but it is physically impossible to elimnate it.
What is the purpose of bell crank?
In a single slider crank mechanism when one of its links is fixed it gives a motion in which one of d link is fixed, 2nd link acts as a crank which is connected to a piston (acts as a slider )an the piston is pivoted on the fixed link. As the crank rotates the piston reciprocates (piston is enclosed in a cylinder). At the other end of the cylinder (on which the fixed link is not connected) another link is connected at the end of which a cutting tool is fixed .
There is a crank which is connected to a lever which had a shaft through it. As the crank is turned, the lever goes up and down. A pole can be connected to the lever with a fairy or whatever to show flight or whatever. A crank and slotted lever turns rotational motion into an up and down oscillating motion.
How do you abbreviate engineering?
I have used 'ENG' and 'ENGG' in the past. I may be oversimplifying this, but I think US English calls for the former and British English calls for the latter.
Don't forget to use the "." (so it'd be "eng." or "engg.").
New Answer:
Abbreviations require stops while contractions do not.
'Engineering' as an abbreviation is written 'Eng.'
As a contraction it is written 'Engg' without the stop/period.
Engineering is an industry that provides specialized services related to manufacturing. These services are provided in automotive factories, fabrication companies, and others. The abbreviation for engineering is ENGRG.
What is the force that moves a plane forward?
Thrust.
The pull of the propellers, the push of the jet engine, the pull of gravity.
What is the difference between a jet engine and a piston engine?
It's quite simple, really. A piston engine utilizes the linear motion of cylinders/pistons to combust the gasoline that drives the vehicle or appliance. A jet engine, however, uses a fluid (air) intake to assist in the compression of fuel. It comprises of many turbines and compression components that synchronize to force the expended fuel out the nozzle of the engine. This action creates direct thrust as opposed to the electrical energy produced in a piston engine.
Best book on strength of material?
strength of material refers to the ability of a material to withstand an applied stress without failure.the material"s strength is dependent on its microstructure.Strength is considered in terms of compresive strength, tensile strength, shear strength,namely the limit states of this strength.The term of strength of materials most often refers to various methods of calculating stesses in structural members, such as beams,columns and shafts.
Would you work on a team as a aerospace engineer?
The short answer is: yes.
An aircraft is, especially these days, a team effort.
There could be the chief designer, and aerodynamicist, a structures engineer, an electrical engineer...
Think of all of the parts that go to make up a 'plane and then think how hard it would be for one man to learn ALL of the necessary disciplines.
