Its exam time

This time even I didn't notice that AeSI exams have began, its only a call from my friend from Chennai that reminded me of this. Thanks kul! so best of luck guys and gals!! All the best! Just carry on. For whatever you study you do have a future in aerospace, so just carry on. And a tip for the exams, don't panic or get over excited, being anxious is ok but never get over excited in anyway. Keep your cool during the exam and take deep breadth and  carry on.

 

In my case lots went through my head while in exams hall but keep it blocked and with cool and calm mind answer everything that u can.

 

So folks carry on my best wishes for all of you!!

 

Why learn Fortran?

Well right now my work involves FORTRAN and while browsing through some documentation on WWW I came upon this piece by Mr. Richard Kass and I liked what he said and thought it might be proper for Aeronautical folks to read about this so here we go.

 

FORTRAN is the dominant programming language used in scientific applications. It is therefore important for physics (or engineering) students to be able to read and modify FORTRAN code. From time to time, so-called experts predict that FORTRAN will rapidly fade in popularity and soon become extinct. This may actually happen as C (or C++) is rapidly growing in popularity. However, previous predictions of the downfall of FORTRAN have always been wrong. FORTRAN is the most enduring computer programming language in history. One of the main reasons FORTRAN has survived and will survive is software inertia. Once a company has spent many people-years and perhaps millions of dollars on a software product, it is unlikely to try to translate the software to a different language. Reliable software translation is a very difficult task and there’s 40 years of FORTRAN code to replace!

 

 

 

AeSI AGM

Hello guys and gals

Good news...or maybe I should only say news because the goodness depends on individuals. This year’s AeSI AGM has been delayed to 18^th Feb. It’s a good news for me because were it on 12^th Jan as previously mentioned, I would have not  been able to attend it because of my personal engagements  but now being on 18^th Feb. the same date this year when results were announced, I am happy that I will be able to attend it. So guys will meet you there.

 

Hope lots of crowd do gather in COCHIN which is the unchanged venue!!

 

 

Its and opportunity ...utilize it

During my days in NAL, I observed that many trainees routinely did what they were expected to do and nothing more. They had time and the necessary tools but they either gossiped or went back home early.

 

This is not the way forward especially for AeSI people being in AeSI should instill in you the quality of initiative. But unfortunately, I have seen in my experience after the initial 30 days the shine from work wears down and people become lazy. Hey its your training days and it your good luck that you got the opportunity, so make the most out of it. I am not suggesting overtime work but utilize the resources that you have access to. Learn from the Scientist you are working for, utilize the library and most importantly seize the opportunity to do new work!  

 

Resume -ur first impression

Today got a resume of an AeSI guy and after seeing the resume, its content and structure, even I would not hire the guy. I know the guy so I could picture him to be well dressed and decent but if it were through his resume I saw an untidy, ill-dressed person, ugly in manners. So please guys make an effort to have a resume that’s shows you in good light.

 

If you are not getting called, think hard your low experience might not be the reasons for getting an interview call instead this seemingly small thing about how you present yourself is.

 

Résumé’s purpose is to make a first impression so that the person gets a call for an interview. So don’t just-do-it. Take time and thought before you shoot your resume for a requirement or else the dustbin is where they ultimately end up

 

More on resume stuff in my next post, but till then a bit of advice… first impression DO count!!

Silent aircraft initiative

Well folks, do you remember anything that happened in 2003, well i don't as a matter of fact but then one news i do remember which about designing a silent aeroplane. And today that silent airplane concept was revealed to the world. Back in 2003, Cambridge university and MIT university took the initiative to reduce aeroplane noise and they have finally came up with a concept aeroplane that not only reduce noise significantly but also reduced fuel consumption. So the silent aircraft initiative have bearded fruit. To know more about it just google the silent aircraft initiative. Well as aeronautical engineer and students its apt to tell you that the findings are very common. Please do search and read more about it, as i feel that a quieter aeroplane is the need of the hour. You don't how much it disturbs me when an aircraft takes off when i'm talking to my girlfriend! :) so perhaps in next twenty years the next generation won't have to deal with this problem that i face now.

why not make all of our existing models composite airframes?

Welll folks i am fond of reading Randy and here in this piece he
explains my long standing query that why not make all our existing
models composite airframes if it save so much fuel and add to
efficeincy.... so here is answer from someone from boeing.....

C.W. from California recently asked about composite "skins" on
commercial airplanes, as in, why not make all of our existing models
composite airframes?

Given that a 747 or 777 is built around an aluminum frame, how
difficult would it be and how much weight would be saved by
"re-skinning" with the same material that is being used for the 787?
It would seem to be relatively easier to make pre-molded sheets vs. an
entire fuselage .. would this be at all practical?

Well, the answer is, it's not really practical. To get the full
advantage of composites we really have to create the airplane design
from the beginning with the composite "material set" in mind. The cost
of re-doing an aluminum fuselage design that is already complete,
using another material set makes it pretty much prohibitive. I should
add, though, that we are already making significant use of composite
materials in some of our airplanes. 9% of the 777's structural weight,
for example, is composite - primarily floor grids and the empennage
section.

Anyway if you like more insights on what else Randy ha to say

Aesi agm in jan

Hello people heard that this time aesi agm is in january as opposed to december like the previous years. Don't know the reason but hey guys who are waiting to get their degree have to wait one more month. :( date is not announced till now, though the venue remains the same. Will meet u there folks whenever it is.

Results are out

Since none of us are living on mars, so its definite, by no every aesi student knows result is out. So why am i repeating it. Well because the analysis is also going to get out in a day or two. I've made a spread sheet on the percentage of pass and fail. Will upload that in a different way this time. I love google and they have come up with a great spreadsheet online service and i'm planning to release the data through it. I tested it today and will incorporate that in the analysis. So folks wait for a day or two, analysis results will be out:) Do leave your comments love to read them.
