Aerospace industry and its Technologies

How and why war is a huge step towards human technology development.

We are in August 29th of 2021.

It’s the 21st century.

Today I am going to explain how war between diverse countries can come up with huge ideas after it’s vacuum.

The most common example is the personal computer you have today.

It was inicially made for locating warzones and track dangerous aircrafts surrounding territories in general.

With just a few years after the war, heavy weighted entrepreneurs came up with the ideia to launch a personal computer, which was developed for war (computer) but with a great impact nowadays. Who can live without one? Even smartphones were derived from a personal computer.

However what I want to say is, how aeroespace technologies like satellites can make your life easier by tracking you, for example the Google Radar. Google Earth. All images by satellite.

And you have it all inside your smartphone.

Even for war, USA became what it became because they had and still have a kickass army and invested a huge amount of money on the heavy industry.

The aircraft in the image is the Blackbird, the Lockheed’s best aircraft (at least for most of engineers).

It can go from a mach 1 to 5, breaking the sound barrier and also its colour can mix and blend with the environment, therefore, a stealth aircraft.

Either way, it is better not to be at war with anyone to gain those engineering improvements. And that is why engineering has become mainstream and also its branches. For example, product engineering, software engineering, design engineering.

Each branch of engineering itself can compensate for the best you can have from engineering as a sustainable country growth, rather than evolving from a war vacuum.

Anyways, it’s always better to think about healthy growth. Even gardening can show you how a regular labor can transform your view of life.

Best,
