Finally, I have found a video on this section of engineering which is inspiring as well as entertaining! Many young people will view this, and consider studying this choice of field. Thankyou.
Hello, I am an aspiring Aerospace Engineer and I've stumbled upon this video of yours and it makes me even more excited to go to college and learn about this! Thank you.
Appreciate your comment Mary, just remember that my explanations are for High School Students and a lot of what is here is very simplistic. The flow of Air as a fluid is quite complex and simple vector arrows and line diagrams may make it seem straightforward but that's the cool thing in Engineering and areas like Areospace science, the more you push in and ask questions the more interesting it all is.
At 29:30 questions about how one can tell the speed and the altitude of a aircraft. One can make some home made instruments and have the students see what they can make of it. 1. Speed measurements can be made by making a small wooden propeller attached to a toothed wheel/wheels. A piece of cardboard slightly touching the wheel would generate a frequency depending on the speed , well the musical scale could be calibrated in speed. Or else one would try to do away with friction and bleed some air on to the toothed wheel and make a siren out of it. Who needs pitot-static tubes! 2. For altitude or distance, four reflecting mirrors on a long stick, with two mirrors at 45 degrees in front of one's eyes and the others at some distance away on the stick, by rotating the outside mirrors to get one image , the rotation of of the mirrors could be calibrated to give distance or altitude. It is tricky for long distances but may be accurate from four feet to thirty feet high!! For higher altitudes the two human eyes separated by a distance as they are could be pretty accurate if one works on calibrating himself. I believe the Dam Busters used the mirror and stick to tell the altitude and distance and also some angled searchlight focused on one spot for altitude detection at night . Dropping a pebble or two and timing it to the ground could help, but one would have to work out when it reaches the terminal velocity otherwise it is a complex problem in working out a falling body with varying acceleration. Perhaps a jam jar, enclosed on the ground with a blown surgical glove or a balloon would detect the altitude if it is calibrated as to its size when taken to varying outside pressures. Teaching students to innovate could be very rewarding and the universe is full of wonders for young people to get to know using simple means they make rather than buy off the shelf.
Thanks Gramham for making such an informative video I've got one question. How does "vibration" matter in the aircraft design (just the basic concept is fine)? is it more about structural point of view? Thank you
i really like your incredibly simple and easy going teaching style of yours...but how if you start teaching, demoing using a flight simulator, engage your students in real flying and you can demo stall and everything
I'm currently studying Maths, Physics and Geography for my A-levels. I have a huge interest in Aviation topics so I am trying to build my knowledge about these topics and hopefully go onto study aeronautical engineering at university upon completion of my A-levels!
I appreciate your comment Jimmy and you are correct, I do use flight simulator programs at times to drive home some of the principles. I'm talking to High School Students in these video's so using technical language is kept to a minimum, I'm much more interested in engendering an excitement to look further into things, so I would encourage you to so as well. It is always good to build on interest with sound information from several good academic sources.
What law in Physics supports the equal time argument? Once the air is separated it is possible that the air streams will never meet again. This can be seen in numerous tests of airfoils.
I'm not aerospace engineering student but mechanical, I would strongly recommend you to understand the thermo and fluid aspects in general first before you go into aerospace propulsion(jet engine and rockets) and flight mechanics, these would be fundamental physics pre-requisites
Justin Chan do you have a syllabus you recommend my fellow internet traveler. I'm trying to find up to date college books with out going to college. Why? Because the student debt is real. I've tried amazon chegg, contacting colleges speaking to professors. Nothing. This is going to come off as pretty pathetic. But you're my only hope Senpai.
Hello sir, I'm deeply confused in choosing my major in the uni. I have got two options in mind aeronautical eng or Computer eng. I'm a bit confused. So, can you give me a bit overview of aeronautical eng. Like what is it about. How hard it is. What I need to take up this challenging field. Etc... Please reply as fast as possible. Don't have much time.
What do you think would be the best course choice for someone who wants to become an airplane pilot? im guessing it would either be aviation or aeronautical engineering?
If I major in aerospace engineering, am I going to have the choice to major in aeronautical engineering since aeronautical engineering is a branch of aerospace engineering
John, the material you have watched here is a High School level pre-university study. My intent is to enthuse young minds into considering a career in any field of engineering that appeals to them. You are correct in recognising that the field of aerospace includes aeronautical engineering, but it is a broad field and draws on many other engineering fields. Aerospace has become a cover all field description in that it allows studies of atmospheric traverse ( aeronautics ), orbital insertion, space flight and astronautical engineering. Depending on the University you choose, and the degree components offered, it is not a given that you must major in that one area, though it would be of some benefit to appreciate this area in any planned studies.
Graham Wise thank you for taking some of your time to explain the question that I had, I hope in the future I can learn more from this interested field.
if i may explain the speed thing a little more...when you where talking about driving in a car...you mean like how when you get to the speed,but you are not working the engine as hard...notice how you dont have to press the pedal as hard...just lightly applying throttle...because you are already at speed and you can keep that speed because inertia....how bout that?
im not aeronautical engineer but i would sure like to get into it...i love aircraft and flying, i have never flown a real aircraft..but i rode in a few during travels. The only experience i have controlling an aircraft are simulators...i just want to work on or near aircraft :)
Jash, thanks for being interested enough in these video's to add a comment, you have hit upon a common misunderstand. Nautical, whilst very much associated with water, does not speak of the medium but rather the navigation of it. Nautical comes from the Greek word for Ship and Sailor, naus and nautes (through Latin and French to us today), aero Is also Greek in origin and has to do with air. So aeronautical really implies air-ship or air-sailor
Musthesh, the course this video is from is a general engineering course for Senior High School level, Aeronautical Engineering is just one context area that is covered, it is not the main reason for the course. I draw upon many sources, most not at a very technical or university level, so I would be no better at pointing you at a good resource than a Google search for first year University texts on the subject. Also not sure what you have access too. If you are moving into a University course I am sure your lecturers will have texts and resources planned so you may want to find out what that need might be first.
this is from me now i love cadetes. and i have a lot of fun with it im the kinda person who gets bord and reads a flight manual so im grate in it im doing fine an my CO's are all nice to me
shalin shah, this material has been up for around 4 years and I have been wondering when someone would pick me up on my stumble over Bernoulli's name, congratulations and well done, you are the first to put that forward, I always disliked this presentation because of that one mistake. It is really important that you do not presume that what you see or hear online is correct, and when you spot an error have the confidence to say "Hang on a minute, surely it is ......." Cheers, appreciate the feedback.
Haha, I didn't expect you to reply for the very same reason, but I'm glad you did. I would like to ask you some questions if you don't mind. I am currently in Auckland finishing my last year of high school and plan to study Aeronautical Engineering at USYD. I would like to do a space major , that is if I do get 99+ for my atar (ncea to atar conversions are very weird). Now, I would like to ask you: a) Whether you would recommend University of Sydney and if not which uni would you personally recommend? b) Is it worth it doing aeronautical/aerospace engineering? I am asking this as most of the job listings I see in Australia and around the world ( except for Europe, they mostly have language requirements) require some sort of security clearance (which requires a permanent status in that country ) or they are defence related. Unfortunately NZ isn't a big market when it comes to aerospace , which makes me wonder if I would ever get a good job. c) This one is a bit of a follow on to b, do graduates usually end up finding jobs in the aerospace/aeronautical sector in Australia? Is the market big enough? I am asking such questions as it would be quite a stretch for me and my family if I decide to study in Australia. Although not paying international fees, I would still be unable to get a loan. Saying that, it's not impossible for me to goto USYD either, just slightly hard. I know you might've not expected to answer such questions in the comments section of RUclips and, feel free to ignore them if you think it's too much. It is just that I have been confused and think that a person like you could greatly help with that. Kind Regards, Shalin P.S. I am very passionate about flight vehicles and was an aspiring commercial pilot. But I decided to go down the engineering path as I don't think that the lifestyle part of a pilot's life would be suitable for me and it was far too risky (financially). Plus, my grades also made me think that I am maybe worth something more. Thus Aeronautical Engineering.
Shalin, there are many very good Universities there in Australia offering Bachelor Engineering Courses with Aerospace focus, the University of Sydney is just one of those. I did my original Bachelor Degree through Sydney University but that was way way back in the late 1970's. Many of my ex students have gone into Engineering and a few have undertaken Aerospace studies, they studied through our Defence Force Academy ADFA. ( a good option for those with high marks and limited financial resources ). My understanding is that the place to go for Aeronautical Engineering here in N.S.W., if you are not inclined toward a military career, is the the UNSW which offers two Bachelor courses in this field, one in Aeronautical Engineering and one in Aerosapce. You should also look at the University of Queensland and the University of Adelaide, both of which are gaining high rankings and good reports on University rankings. Australia has just made Aerospace a priority with our newly established Australian Space Agency so when that gets of the ground ( bad pun ) there should be a lot of demand for Aerospace Engineers here. The main thing is keep that passion alive, get those marks you seem confident of and do your research, I'm sure you also have access through your school to a careers adviser or similar. Thank you for your comments and I am pleased these video's continue to have some impact even though they were really only intended for a very small in house audience.
Graham, thanks for your answer, I am surprised that you didn't mention Monash University in the names. Sorry to bother you, but I am failing to understand why not University of Sydney, UNSW sounds great, selecting between unsw and usyd seems like buying bottled water, it's the same thing at the end of the day. However I can do a space major at UNSW without attaing a 99+ atar. On the other other hand USYD is ranked 3rd in the world regarding employability, which makes me think would there be a better cohort present at USYD? Also apparently USYD is more 'internationally recognized' but I don't seem to buy into that point. I have also been told that USYD is full of private school students, making me wonder, would that lead to better contacts provided by the University? Being a New Zealand citizen , I won't be allowed into any sort of defence jobs in Australia, so, ADFA, is out of reach. I am visiting University of Queensland in July to attend a seminar, and after that going to Sydney for a week, that should suffice for visiting USYD and UNSW. The problem with careers advisors at my school is that they don't have much knowledge on Australian universities. It would be great if you could add your input on to what I think. Kind regards, Shalin
shalin shah, I did not intend to imply that USYD was not a good option, I was just picking up on your comment about financial resources, UNSW is a little more affordable. Monash is also a good option, just wanted to make the point that we have a lot of options here. Everything you have written is correct, Sydney University has long been recognised by overseas employers and you are probably correct in the comments about student bodies.

Anyway, I trust you will enjoy and benefit from your visit.

excellent video ... thank you so much! I'm learning from these videos this summer before I begin Aerospace Engineering in university .
Oh woww...Nice mam even I am aiming to get a good university for aeronautics...Good luck for your upcoming course...!!!
im doing the exact same thing right now ahah
wow thats nice you know my dream is to study aerospace engineering an Massachusetts institute of technology
A nice presentation prof. as an aerospace engineer am grateful.
I love this soooo much because I really want to be aerospace engineer and really needed this to kind of start up my push!! THANK YOU!!!
Hello, I am an aspiring Aerospace Engineer and I've stumbled upon this video of yours and it makes me even more excited to go to college and learn about this! Thank you.
Excellent Presentation. Need More Videos as such
Good lecture. Love his way of teaching the basics of aeronautics.
Wow sir, excellent method of teaching
Just discovered this. Brilliant. Thank you for providing such a clear lesson. Richard U.K.
Such a well conducted and smooth lecture! Brilliant!
A fantastic lecture!!!! It was easy to understand and made it simpler to understand.
You are brilliant at teaching this stuff! Thank you for helping me with my Aero concepts!

i really like your incredibly simple and easy going teaching style of yours...but how if you start teaching, demoing using a flight simulator, engage your students in real flying and you can demo stall and everything
Thanks there aren't like a ton of lectures on aerospace engineering and def no torrents available of videos (pirtaed or not). Appreciated.
I'm currently studying Maths, Physics and Geography for my A-levels. I have a huge interest in Aviation topics so I am trying to build my knowledge about these topics and hopefully go onto study aeronautical engineering at university upon completion of my A-levels!
love it!
Question: currently foing masters in physics, how can i contribute to aeronautics or aerospace rrlated field ?
Can u tell which book have u used in the video ?
I am an high school students can u
Can u give me any tips about how to persue aerospace engineering.
Nicely explained
loved it😇
does the lift of a plane depends on the speed of the air of runway ?? what if its faster than the usual or slower ??
hello sir
i wants to do aronatical eng can u help me
please help me
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow,this is really helpful.
is it JD anderson 5th edition?
Where is the next lesson? I want it
Thank you.
What law in Physics supports the equal time argument? Once the air is separated it is possible that the air streams will never meet again. This can be seen in numerous tests of airfoils.
What books do you recommend? For a freshmen.
I'm not aerospace engineering student but mechanical, I would strongly recommend you to understand the thermo and fluid aspects in general first before you go into aerospace propulsion(jet engine and rockets) and flight mechanics, these would be fundamental physics pre-requisites

Hey Pepe Frog, can I pm you? so i can send the link to ur email.
is it the lecture in a university or highschool may i ask
유창혁 these are high school classes, which is why they are very basic, the course is a general engineering study, aeronautics is just one context area.
I graham wise do u know any good student aerospace textbooks or learning books
Graham Wise
Ok thank you, by the way ur teaching was great. This will help me massively when I start university
Thanks.
How are you managing to annotate with a projector and whiteboard? is the whiteboard interactive?
Epson ultra short throw interactive projectors
Or its a smart board and there is no projector, you can see there is no projection on him
omg i love this teacher! HAHA i laugh so much omg, you'll understand what he is saying by saying his jokes...
iam a engineer for the rest of my life iam fine

Bernoulli, not Bellini. Other than that this is great!
Hi sir do you give online tuitions ?
For aeronautical engineering and simple engineering
Thanks sir
People say that it got it's name via nautic being water and aero being air meaning it is water air. Could this be a hint to water planes?
Jash, thanks for being interested enough in these video's to add a comment, you have hit upon a common misunderstand.

Graham Wise But this is America.
But we speak English from England.
Skiosky?? 26:00
Hey Graham I have finished my pre university now, will you please suggest me a book to read to learn basics of Aerospace engineering?

mate, i keep hearing you refer to 'Bellini' dont you mean Bernoulli. who is this Bellini? as far as i know bellini is a cocktail!
I wish it was in American accent
i am thinking of joining air cadetes so this helped
Don't all the CO's and officers are lazy and jerks they don't have any fun activities it's so boring take it from a former flight Sargent
this is from me now i love cadetes. and i have a lot of fun with it im the kinda person who gets bord and reads a flight manual so im grate in it im doing fine an my CO's are all nice to me
No offence, but I think you mean Bernoulli's Principal, still loved the lesson.

HELLO
The concept of how an aerofoil works is misleading, the time argument for lift is a misconception. There's no scientific evidence that the shape of of the aerofoil forces the fluid at the top to move faster than the one at the bottom. As a matter of fact, Holger Babisnky, showed that the theory (explained in the video) is completely wrong and misleading.
John, the material you have watched here is a High School level pre-university study. My intent is to enthuse young minds into considering a career in any field of engineering that appeals to them. You are correct in recognising that the field of aerospace includes aeronautical engineering, but it is a broad field and draws on many other engineering fields. Aerospace has become a cover all field description in that it allows studies of atmospheric traverse ( aeronautics ), orbital insertion, space flight and astronautical engineering.
