Aerospace Engineering

Professor Beniamin Dow,

head of the Aerospace Department

Today's aerodynamics courses are quite different from those of a few years ago since supersonic flow causes significant heating and therodynamics has to be carefully taken into account. Earthbound navigation courses have been supplanted by special navigation. Structural analysis courses have shifted the. emphasis from triangulated determinant frames to the indeterminate, stressed-s k i n structures. Mathematics continues to be an important tool in this field. This department continues as one using the most advanced scientific information to help develop and produce modern means of transportation through space beyond.
