Hey future astronaut! Do you know what kind of cool stuff aerospace engineers get to design?
Super fast cars and heavy-duty trucks
Amazing aircraft, out-of-this-world spacecraft, high-tech satellites, and powerful missiles
Deep-sea boats and stealthy submarines
High-speed trains and city-friendly buses
Imagine you're an aerospace engineer. What factors would you consider when designing your dream spacecraft?
How many passengers can it carry and how far can it travel?
What type of fuel will it use and what kind of engines will it have?
All of the above
None of the above
Did you know the Concorde, a turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner, had a unique nose? Can you guess why it was designed that way?
Was it to make the plane more fuel-efficient?
Or perhaps to reduce the drag coefficient?
Could it be to help the pilot see the runway during takeoff and landing?
Or was it simply to enhance the comfort of the passengers?
Can you guess why the super-fast Concorde was retired?
Did it have safety issues?
Was there not enough people wanting to fly with it?
Was it too costly to keep it running?
Was it harming our environment?
Imagine you're a top-notch aerospace engineer working on a military project. What would be your main focus areas?
Ensuring safety while keeping an eye on the budget
Maintaining the quality and safety of the brave pilots
Making the project environmentally friendly and cost-effective
Maximizing speed and efficiency of the aircraft
Ready for a space adventure? Can you guess one of the biggest challenges we face in space travel?
Is it integrating with commercial airspace?
Could it be public perception of drones?
Or is it the threat of galactic cosmic rays?
Maybe it's the lack of efficient batteries?
Imagine you're the head of a firm. You've just replaced the pilots' paper manuals with iPads. What problem did you just solve?
Did you just make a major safety improvement?
Did you just save a ton on fuel costs?
Did you just improve efficiency?
Or did you just do all of the above?
Imagine you're a space engineer! What would be one of the biggest challenges you'd face in maintaining and reusing spacecraft?
Would it be finding a new tank of fuel?
Or ensuring the safety of your astronaut passengers?
Maybe developing better batteries?
Or none of these?
Can you guess the current buzz about electric planes?
They are zooming around, efficient and popular
They are on standby, waiting for supercharged batteries
They are just a dream, not feasible for commercial use
They are the next big thing in aviation
Before we zoom around in flying cars, what technology should we get really good at first?
Getting electric cars to zip around on the road
Jetting off into space
Boosting our battery technology
Delivering packages with commercial drones
