Aviation Jobs In India For Freshers

2014-10-04T09:52:00.000-07:00

The airline industry had been going through a rough transition for years now. From buttoned-down security to sky-high gas prices, it's been a bumpy ride. Still, the fact remains that people want to travel and there are plenty of jobs available at airlines, airports, airplane companies and security organizations around the globe. Where might your talents fit into the aviation industry?

Many people wish for the glamorous lifestyle and income of a pilot. But, do pilots always wear crisp uniforms and make the big bucks? Not necessarily, according to Al Lee, director of quantitative analysis at online salary database PayScale.com. He says, "There's a huge variation in pay depending on whether you're flying a float plane for a regional commuter company or flying 747s for United. Regional airlines sometimes pay $20 per hour and only when the engine is on." Lee says that with only 1000 hours of engine time a year, that hourly rate can come close to minimum wage.

Fortunately, you don't have to wait to fly jumbo jets if want to work in aviation. In fact, if you like doing math, mechanical work or security tasks, here are some in-demand job options, that are also some of the best-paid in the industry, according to PayScale.

1. Director of Aerospace Program Management

Median Annual Salary: $151,000

According to Lee, "Aerospace is second only to petroleum engineering in pay." That's why the director of an aerospace engineering program management team can earn well into the six figures. This person likely has a graduate degree in business, such as an MBA, in addition to their degree in engineering. Directors are involved in developing the company's business strategy, negotiating contracts to build aircraft and taking responsibility for company profitability.

2. Airline Pilot, Copilot or Flight Engineer

Median Annual Salary: $117,000

Most pilots used to receive their training in the military, but in recent years a college degree and training from an FAA-certified flight training school has become more common among new hires. And, while many may pay less, there are plenty of jobs for pilots besides passenger airline gigs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), about 34 percent of commercial pilots use their time in the air to dust crops, test planes, monitor traffic, fight fires and perform other non-typical functions.

3. Aerospace Project Engineer

Median Annual Salary: $82,000

An aerospace project engineer must not only understand the ins and outs of aerospace engineering, but they must have the personal and organizational skills to lead a team through a project. A project engineer is likely involved in managing the budget for a project, hiring and training staff, checking their team's work and other administrative tasks.

4. Aircraft Maintenance Manager

Median Annual Salary: $74,200

Once again, this is a job position that requires both technical skill and a knack for leading teams. A maintenance manager is a knowledgeable professional who ensures that their teams perform maintenance regularly and according to regulatory guidelines. The manager schedules a staff of technicians and likely does much of the hiring and training of their team.

5. Air Traffic Controller

Median Annual Salary:$62,500

Lee notes that air traffic controller is one of the best-paying jobs you can have with an associate's degree. It's well known for causing sky-high stress levels and requiring a tremendous amount of mental focus. But, did you know that, depending on the airport, the work is separated out between controllers for ground movement, take-off, en route flight time, landing and more? The competition for these lucrative, steady job positions is steep, though the BLS expects a wave of retirement in the coming years that should open up more positions to younger controllers.

6. Sky Marshal or Air Marshal

Median Annual Salary: $62,100

Air marshals are employed by the federal government to guard against attacks targeting U.S. aircraft, passengers and crew. According to the Transportation Security Administration's website, air marshals may have the unique challenge of working independently, without back up. Therefore, they are trained in handgun accuracy, terrorist behavior recognition and learn "aircraft specific tactics and close quarters self-defense measures." Sky marshal sounds like a good job for someone who is brave, tough and level-headed.

7. Airplane Inspector

Median Annual Salary: $60,600

Airplane mechanics with some experience in the field and a positive track record can move into the role of inspector. Airplane inspectors enjoy greater job security because the work they do is, and likely always will be, required by the FAA. Airlines must have them around to regularly inspect the planes after any maintenance, repairs or overhauls. According to the BLS, the best job opportunities are available to mechanics who have an aircraft inspector's authorization.

8. Aircraft Mechanic

Median Annual Salary: $50,500

Many mechanics specialize in preventative airplane maintenance, though they also do repairs. While some mechanics learn their skills on the job, most attend an FAA-approved school, of which there are 170 in the US. Jobs with major airlines are the most competitive because they offer the best pay and benefits.

9. Avionics Technician

Median Annual Salary: $49,300

An avionics technician works on the components used for aircraft navigation and radio communications, weather radar systems, and other instruments and computers. They often must solve complex electrical problems and can work odd hours depending when their expertise is called upon.

10. Aircraft Loadmaster

Median Annual Salary: 40,900

The loadmaster mathematically preplans the correct placement of passengers and cargo on the airplane so that the plane can take off and land safely. In the military, loadmasters often fly with the plane so that they can prepare it for its next leg of the journey. Commercial airlines often hire a similar position, called a load planner, which does not require flying on the plane. When asked about how secure this job position is for the long haul, former US Air Force load master Ben Nesheim says, "There will always be a load master to calculate weight and balance. For every plane that carries cargo, somebody has to do the math."

Here are some more popular aviation jobs and what they pay:

Job Title	Median Pay
Aviation / Aerospace Program Manager	$107,000
Aerospace Engineer	$74,000
Aircraft Engine Mechanic Supervisor	$65,500
Aerospace Engineering and Operations Technician	$60,200

mechanical Engineering Jobs in Hyderabad/ Bangalore

2014-09-14T13:38:00.002-07:00

Mechanical engineering graduates are sought by employers in almost all sectors of the engineering industry. These include:

Aerospace industry – researches, designs, manufactures, operates and maintains aircraft
Automotive industry – designs, manufactures, distributes and markets motor vehicles
Chemical industry – covers oil companies, chemicals manufacturers and the businesses that support them (eg to build new plants or develop new process technologies)
Construction industry – designs and builds infrastructure, buildings and buildings services (eg heating and ventilation)
Defence industry – provides equipment, support and services for the armed forces and national security
Electronics industry – designs and manufactures components and complete equipment for sectors from automotive to medicine and the military
Fast moving consumer goods industry – manufactures products such as household cleaning items, personal hygiene goods and convenience foods
Marine industry – develops and helps operate vessels
Materials and metals industry – activities include developing new materials and manufacturing components or end products
Pharmaceuticals industry – develops and manufactures drugs
Rail industry – designs, constructs, manages and maintains rail system components from trains and tracks to electrical power systems and train control systems
Utilities industry – helps supply power, water, waste management and telecoms.

What precisely would my job as a mechanical engineering graduate be?

In many roles you will remain as a mechanical engineering specialist, applying your skills and knowledge to those specific aspects of your employers’ technical operations that call for this skill set. However, engineering careers in some areas involve becoming more of a generalist, drawing on or developing knowledge of other engineering disciplines and perhaps doing the same job as a fellow engineer with a different degree background.

Defence and fast moving consumer goods are two industries that often call for generalists.

Paul Jones, enterprise integration manager at BAE systems, explains the situation in thedefence industry. He comments: ‘At BAE systems – and at most other defence companies – engineers today mainly work at system level. A ‘system’ could be an aircraft or submarine, or one of its major components, or the whole battle space in which it operates, including the associated communications technologies, people, buildings and legal requirements. Defence systems are now so integrated that engineers need to operate cross-discipline, for example using a mixture of mechanical, electronic and electrical engineering knowledge. Most engineering degrees now cover a range of areas, but if you come from, say, a pure mechanical engineering background you’ll have to pick up how mechanical engineering fits into the bigger picture.’

Meanwhile Chris Traynor, careers adviser and former engineer and engineering recruiter, outlines the state of play in the fast moving consumer goods industry. He explains: ‘Almost all the graduate roles are in one of two areas: manufacturing/engineering or supply network operations/logistics. And for both of these areas graduates from different disciplines would be doing similar jobs as each other. The reason for this is that the real “work” is not defined in nice separate buckets of mechanical, electrical, chemical etc, but normally a mixture of different disciplines as a general manufacturing or logistics engineer. Graduates will pick up skills from other disciplines as they go through their training and career. I started as a chemical engineer and quickly learned basic mechanical and electrical engineering principles that were needed to help me in my work.’

If you’d prefer to specialise, there are numerous options.

The Rolls-Royce website outlines job roles in its part of the aerospace industry, stating that: ‘Mechanical technology engineers are responsible for understanding the stress and vibration loads applied throughout the engine and on specific components. They have a strong influence on power plant design and work closely with the design community, materials engineers and manufacturing. Although this area is largely analysis-based, mechanical technology engineers are also involved in verifying and validating component models through physical experiments and tests. This includes reviewing the physical condition of post-test specimens.’

Mechanical engineering graduates can also choose to work in the materials and metals industry. Dr Andrew Smith, knowledge group leader at Tata Steel, states that in this sector: ‘Mechanical engineering graduates can be involved in process technology and development, manufacturing or process improvement. They could equally be involved in more customer-facing roles, eg customer technical support (CTS) – or on major CAPEX [capital expenditure] schemes, ensuring the engineering is right. And this list is by no means exclusive.’

Similarly in the power generation industry, Paul Clarke, asset developer at EDF Energy – Generation, explains: ‘Mechanical Engineers typically maintain the mechanical plant items (steam turbines, gas turbines, pumps, valves, pipework, coal mills, fans, heat exchangers, coolers, storage tanks, etc).’

Jerry England, group asset management director at Network Rail, outlines opportunities in the rail industry. He reveals: ‘Mechanical engineers could be involved in track systems, rolling stock and other rail vehicle engineering, as well as with other mechanical systems such as overhead power lines – which although transmitting power at 25kV are largely a mechanical engineering design.’

In the utilities industy, Neil Pullen, director of transmission asset management at National Grid, comments: 'Mechanical engineers might work with pressure systems (eg pipelines, compressed air systems in power stations), corrosion, tribology, asset design or network design.'
Mechanical engineers in the oil and gas industry design equipment and machines that the offshore engineers and technicians depend on, such as pipelines, valves and turbines, making sure that it is productive and safe to use.
Lee Hankins, senior technical engineer at Johnson Matthey, explains that mechanical engineers in the chemical industry are ‘typically involved in delivering reliability improvements, technical support or major CAPEX projects on a range of cutting-edge automated production assets including conveyors, industrial ovens, pipework, valves, pumps and robotics.’

Non-engineering careers for mechanical engineers

A mechanical engineering degree is a great passport to a huge variety of non-engineering graduate jobs, both within the engineering industry and outside it.

If you want a non-technical career in the engineering sector, a number of the larger employers run graduate schemes in areas such as finance and management. You could also consider jobs in areas such as supply chain or technical sales. If you wish, you could start your career in an engineering job, then progress into a more business-focused role at a later date.

Outside the engineering industry, many employers welcome mechanical engineering graduates for their high level of numeracy and problem-solving mentality. In particular, IT companies and technical consultancies are well worth exploring, especially if you have some programming skills, as are patent attorneys. Your skill set will also go down well with recruiters for finance, management and business or management consulting graduate schemes, while teachers with technical backgrounds are always in demand.

You’ll also find niche areas of seemingly unrelated professions where your degree background will be a big help. How about training as a solicitor or barrister, then specialising in a technical area such as intellectual property, construction or energy, transport and infrastructure? Or working in technical publishing or science journalism?

Finally, remember that around 40% of graduate jobs are open to graduates from any degree discipline. Your extra-curricular activities and transferrable skills developed while at university could help launch your career in an entirely new direction.

Aviation Jobs in India

2014-09-14T13:37:00.005-07:00

The tremendous growth in Indian aviation and the importance of this traffic to South Asia and the United States has prompted the US FAA to send its first representative to New Delhi. A lot has happened since Mr. Randall S. Fiertz arrived in July 2006. Under this arrangement, however, the FAA is able to work with a team of American companies to present joint solutions for aviation safety problems. The result is more flexibility and more possibilities under what is called an Aviation Cooperation Program (ACP). A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for this program was initiated in April-2007 during visit to India by Federal Aviation Administrator Ms Marion Blakey brings it into effect. The formal signing ceremony took place in Washington, DC on June 22, 2007 between Indian Minister of Civil Aviation Mr. Praful Patel and US Trade Develop Agency.

The U.S-India Aviation Cooperation Program (ACP), a public-private partnership between the U.S. Trade Development Agency (USTDA), the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and U.S. aviation companies, has been established to provide a forum for unified communication between the Government of India and U.S. public and private sector entities in India. The ACP is designed to work directly with the Indian Government to identify and support India’s civil aviation sector modernization priorities.

The ACP will serve as a mechanism through which Indian aviation sector officials can work with U.S. civil aviation representatives to highlight specific areas for technical cooperation. The ACP consists of both U.S. Government and private sector representatives, and its secretariat will function as the focal point for responding to Indian areas of interest i.e. aerospace and aviation sector by identifying appropriate training programs and other cooperative activities as well. The secretariat will be responsible for managing and organizing the identified training and technical cooperation activities.

2008 was the ACP’s first year of operation, 19 US companies joined the ACP throughout the year, and the ACP initiated its first two projects – completed one in October. In addition, the ACP proposed four additional projects to commence in 2009.

2008 also found the ACP firmly establish itself with a highly acclaimed presence in the Indian Aviation 2008 air show at Hyderabad, India.

Initially, the ACP intends:

to focus on activities that support air traffic/air space management enhancements and the challenge of rapidly increasing aviation traffic in India.
to focus on activities of Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) and ATM automation infrastructure to support airspace management. This vital area is to focus before looking for restructuring of the Indian airspace.
to focus on passenger facilitation technology i.e. most of the system will be installed within the terminal building and its security aspects system. This is basic area of requirements.
to focus on aviation metrological services, which plays important role for operation of aircraft movements. In Indian context, aviation metrological services are not upto the required level. This area is more technology incentive and later is training of manpower.
to focus on aviation safety management, flight standards for various type of aircrafts, pilot and ATCO licensing, CNS equipment certification and licensing the CNS personnel and helping DGCA-India for implementation of Civil Aviation. Requirements(CAR) on Indian context, etc. ACP will assist in setting up the MRO facilities in India.
to carry out the study on airport environment and emission impact on Indian aviation.

The ACP will coordinate identified government and industry priorities in these areas, develop corresponding activities, and recommend activities that U.S. Government agencies, such as USTDA, the FAA, and U.S. private industry can support. Specific technical cooperation programs will depend on the priorities Indian and U.S. officials identify, and may include training opportunities in India and the United States, on-the-job training, and personnel exchange programs.

Boundary-Layer Ingestion Key To MIT/NASA D8 Hopes

2013-09-28T11:49:00.001-07:00

Commercial aircraft designs that depart from today's tube-and-wing shape demand equally innovative propulsion systems if they are to stand any chance of breaking the mold and providing the benefits anticipated by their creators.

With its engines flush-mounted beneath a pi-shaped tail, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) D8 concept with its “double-bubble” lifting fuselage is no exception. Sized to replace aircraft in the Airbus A320/Boeing 737 category around 2035—a time frame NASA calls “N+3 generation”—the D8 promises fuel burn more than 70% lower than the 737-800's. And while the wide, twin-aisle fuselage has more drag than the 737's, its overall shape enables a lighter wing and landing gear and a smaller tail.

The make-or-break aspect of the D8 design, however, is whether the embedded engine location is feasible, and whether smaller, lighter turbofans will be able to operate in the challenging flow conditions over the aft fuselage. To answer these questions, research is underway at NASA, MIT, Aurora Flight Sciences, Pratt & Whitney and the United Technologies Research Center (UTRC) into how closely the airframe and propulsion system can be integrated and what fuel benefits are possible from ingesting the fuselage boundary layer.

MIT has just completed four weeks of tests of the D8 in a 14 X 22-ft. wind tunnel at NASA Langley Research Center, Va., aimed a quantifying the benefit of boundary-layer ingestion (BLI) through back-to-back comparison of the same 1:11-scale, 13.4 ft.-span model with embedded and conventional podded engines. Initial results show a benefit close to that predicted, with a measured 5-8% reduction in the electrical power required to drive the 6-in.-dia. fans in the embedded engines at the same cruise condition, says Alejandra Uranga, technology lead for MIT.

BLI is not new a new idea; it is already being used in torpedo and ship propeller design. When a podded propulsor is in freestream airflow, like a turbofan in a wing-mounted nacelle, the excess kinetic energy in the jet is wasted. But when the propeller is immersed in the slower-moving boundary-layer flow there is no excess kinetic energy, and less energy needs to be added to achieve the same thrust. The benefit comes from the propulsor reenergizing the wake and reducing drag.

The question regarding the D8 is whether the same principle can be applied to an aircraft-engine fan operating under higher propulsive loads, and whether that fan can withstand such a turbulent environment without its efficiency being overly compromised.

“The primary question is, 'Can you get a fan that can operate in that distortion?' Secondly, by ingesting the boundary layer, are we reducing drag, as most people believe we are? It is drag versus efficiency and whether the summation of the two is still positive,” says NASA Fixed Wing project head Ruben del Rosario

People Who Design and Build

2013-09-11T20:32:00.002-07:00

Aerodynamicist:

During the design process, the aerodynamicist works hard with the other design engineers to make sure that the airplane, missile, car, boat, or truck moves easily through the air or the water. He or she does this by building a model of the object to be designed and then testing it. One way to do this is to build a scale model and place it in a wind tunnel or a water tunnel. This way the engineer can observe and measure the way the air or water behaves when the object is moving. Click on one of our interviews to hear about some of the projects some NASA aerodynamicists are working on! Another way to test a model is to build it on the computer and use math to predict how the air or water will behave. This kind of aerodynamicist is called a computational fluid simulation specialist, and he or she is discussed in a later section. Most aerodynamics engineers have at least a BS in engineering.

Aircraft Conversion Specialist:Do you know someone who rebuilds cars and then resells them? An aircraft conversion specialist can do the same thing with airplanes. Maybe the remodeling is just a series of improvements in a regular private plane - better instruments or adding a satellite positioning system. Or maybe he or she will rebuild and redesign an old military or cargo plane into a fancy executive aircraft! Either way, this specialist must have a solid understanding of aviation principles and components, as well as have good sales and customer relations!

Chemist: Why do airplanes use a different fuel than cars? Why do some rockets use solid fuels, while others use liquid fuels? How do you clean up after you use toxic chemicals? A chemist could tell you the answers to these questions! He or she analyzes the molecular makeup (sometimes atom by atom!) of fuels, plastics, or ceramics for use in aviation. Why not click on our interview to learn more about it? Your average chemist has at least a BS in chemistry, and many often have additional degrees in chemistry.

Computational Fluid Dynamicist: The CFD (computational fluid dynamics) engineer is an aerodynamicist who specializes in testing a model on a computer. He or she uses math equations and formulas to model the flow of air or water in and around objects such as airplanes, missiles, boats, cars, or submarines. We have interviewed several people who have worked on some really neat problems. Click on the interviews to see what they have to say! A CFD engineer usually has a MS or a Ph.D. in math or engineering.

Design Engineer:The Boeing 757 and 767 use the same basic design and parts, but the 767 is a much larger plane that can hold up to 120 more people! The design engineer decides how long a plane has to be to hold a certain number of people, how wide it should be, where the wings need to be, and how strong the materials need to be. He or she calculates how the insides of the airplane and wing should be built to carry the predicted loads. Have you ever seen the inside of the fuselage skin or a wing? Click on our interview to meet a design engineer who can tell you all about it! Design engineers usually have at least a BS in mechanical, civil, or aerospace engineering.

Electronics Engineer:Have you ever wondered how those buttons, dials, and gages in the cockpit work? A lot of us know WHAT they are, but we don't always know how and why they work. An electronics engineer is a person who designs the sensors and connections that tell the pilot of an aircraft that things are fine, or that there is a problem. He or she also designs the connections and devices that translate the motion of the pilot's hand on the stick, for example, into impulses that are sent to the flap mechanism. These impulses are then translated into the motion of the flap. An electronics engineer can have a BS degree or higher in electrical, mechanical, or aerospace engineering.

Equipment Engineer: Whew! It's hot in here! Lets get an equipment engineer to design an air-conditioning system to cool us off. He or she would have to make it both efficient and inexpensive, as well as size it so that it is neither too big, nor too small for our room! These engineers design heating, pressurizing, hydraulic, and/or oxygen-equipment systems for airplanes, cars, and buildings. Equipment engineers usually have BS degrees in mechanical, electrical, or systems engineering.

Mathematician: Mathematicians can work in many different areas of aviation, although it's mostly behind the scenes. They develop the math formulas that engineers use to design their work, and help the engineers develop solutions to their problems. For example, a mathematician might work with an aerodynamicist to help formulate the equations to calculate the behavior of the fluid over a body. Or they might help record and analyze the wind tunnel data. Some mathematicians work with chemists or meteorologists to help them with the mathematical equations in their work. Click on the interviews to hear two mathematicians tell you about their work. One works in CFD, the other worked as a test engineer! Mathematicians study math all through high school and college, and most of them have graduate degrees in math as well.

Todd Levine

Metallurgist:Have you ever had a toy that looked like it was made of strong metals, but when you played with it it broke right away? Well, a metallurgist is a specialist who works with metals and metal alloys to develop and test strong compounds to be used in airplanes and cars. He or she tries to ensure that the parts will not break even after years of use. The metallurgist may work separately in a laboratory in another part of a company, or he or she may be a part of an engineering design team. Either way, he or she tries to make strong parts to last a long time. Metallurgists have a background in hard science, and may have degrees in chemistry, physics, or materials engineering.

Physicist: The physicist is another behind the scenes part of a design team. He or she may work in many different areas in aviation. A physicist might work by himself or herself, analyzing a scientific problem for aircraft or missiles such as overcoming the heat barrier or computing a trajectory, or he or she might be working closely with a design team. Some physicists work with metals and materials and might interact with chemists or metallurgists, while others are more mathematical and collaborate with aerodynamicists or failure analysis engineers. Most physicists have a solid background in math and science in high school and college, and go on to earn masters or PhD's in physics before going out to work.

Power Plant Engineer: Hey... Listen to that engine purr, or roar, as the case may be! A power plant engineer may work with piston engines, ramjets, scramjets, turbojets or turboprop engines, or rocket engines! He or she may design the whole engine system, or specialize by concentrating on a single component or part of an engine. Perhaps the engineer might get his or her hands dirty building and testing the engine, or maybe he or she will analyze the engine performance using the computer. Any way you look at it, a power plant engineer has an interesting job! We have one engineer for you to meet: Click on the interview to meet her! A power plant engineer usually has a BS degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering, and many have masters or PhD's as well.

Structures Engineer: How does the pilot know that the wing of the plane won't rip off when he or she flies really fast? Or how does a trucker know if a bridge is strong enough to hold his or her truck? A structures engineer designs and tests components and materials to see that they are strong and will last a long time. He or she may do vibration tests (a whole lot of shaking!) or stress and strain tests (bending and twisting and pulling!) to make sure that a suggested design will do the job. The structures engineer is an important member of the design team. Most structures engineers have at least BS degrees in civil, aerospace, or mechanical engineering.

Weight and Balance Engineer: Most people don't realize that when they and their luggage get on the plane, a weight and balance engineer has already determined where they should sit and where their bags should be placed to make sure that the plane is properly balanced. This may not seem very important to you, but the pilot and the design team think it is. The plane may not fly well or may break if it isn't balanced right! Think about it - have you ever tried to float a boat in water, but you put all the weight on one side of the boat? It probably sank, didn't it? So, the weight and balance engineer studies the loads on a plane or a missile, and he or she works with the other design engineers to ensure that the balance points on the plane or missile coordinate with the controls and structural systems. Then the plane or missile will perform as designed! These engineers usually have BS degrees in civil, mechanical, or aerospace engineering.

This next list of jobs features positions that require less formal education, but still may rely heavily on math and science classes in high school or at technical schools:

Assembler: The assemblers are featured throughout the production line of an aircraft or missile. They put together various parts of the aircraft, or they monitor the machines that are putting it together. An assembler needs to be good with his or her hands and with tools.

Draftsman/CAD Operator:Throughout the design and production process, many, many drawings are made to detail the design and building of an aircraft. The draftsman used to sit over a large board and draw the piece of the aircraft to the engineer's specifications, but these days, most drawings are done on a computer using a CAD (computer-aided-design) program. A draftsman (male or female!) must be a good artist, with a strong sense of proportion. Experience with computers is a good plus also.

Electronics Installation Technician: This technician works with the assemblers, but specializes in electronic equipment. He or she will install the various electronic instruments in the cockpit such as air navigational aids (like radar or the MLS - microwave landing system) and communications equipment, and also do the landing and cruise lights on the outside of the plane.

Jig and Fixture Builder: The assembly of aircraft and missiles requires very specific frames and cradles, or jigs, to hold the pieces of the aircraft as they are being worked on. Most of the time, these jigs must be made at the production facility; they can't be bought from a catalog. The jig and fixture builder is in charge of creating just the right frame or jig for a part or procedure. These builders are very good mechanics, and often contribute to the design process because of their experience. While they may not be formally trained in engineering, they often have a natural intuition for design.

Model Builder: When the aerodynamicists need to run a wind tunnel test, they go to a model builder with the specifications of the aircraft and commission him or her to create a scale model. Not only does the model builder have to recreate the aircraft in detail, but he or she also needs to be able to build into the model the necessary instrumentation for the test data. A strong background in math and science helps the model builder to be a full partner in a successful wind tunnel test sequence.

Mock-up Builder: While the model builder and the aerodynamicists are working on their small-scale tests, it is often important for a design engineer to work with a full-size mock-up of the aircraft. For example, the designer of the cockpit needs to be able to see the full design to ensure that seats are positioned properly, there is head room for all sizes of pilots, and important switches and instruments are easy to see and reach. In an inflight emergency, the pilot doesn't have time to fumble about to find the right switch to throw! So the mock-up builder works with the engineers to develop full-scale models of the design. Again, these builders have a solid background in math and science, along with good mechanical skills.

Sheet-Metal Fabricator: Many parts of aircraft or missiles are cut or formed from large sheets of metal. The sheet-metal fabricator will work with the metal and the machines that manipulate it to see that the proper parts are created. Good mechanic skills and some computer experience will help someone train as a fabricator.

Technical Illustrator: Illustrations or drawings of the aircraft parts are very helpful to have in an instruction manual. This manual may be a maintenance manual for up-keep, a how-to manual for an operator like a pilot, or a record of the design process for the design engineers. The technical illustrator helps researchers, engineers, and maintenance personnel by drawing the technical figures necessary to demonstrate a point in the record. Illustrators generally have artistic backgrounds, but the ability to understand basic math and science concepts helps them translate the desires of the technical people to easy-to-follow figures for publication.

Tool Designer: Highly specialized tools are necessary for the building of aircraft and missiles. They usually can't be bought in stores or from catalogs. So, the production facility foremen must create their own tools. The tool designer may be an engineer, or he or she may be an extremely experienced mechanic who has great insight into exactly the type of tool needed for a job. Nowadays, a lot of the assembly is preformed by computerized machines, so tools must fit into the machine as well as suit the job.

Tool and Diemaker: Once the tool designer has arrived at a set of specifications, the tool and diemaker must make the requested part. This tool might be machined, or cut down from a raw piece of metal, or it may be cast by pouring hot liquid metal into a mold called a die. A die is the reverse of the tool, and it must be made very carefully so that the finished tool is exactly what was ordered.

Wind Tunnel Technicians: These technicians work in a wind tunnel facility, operating the tunnels and the data-gathering devices. Since computers are used now for retrieving data, many people are needed to watch the tests to ensure they are running smoothly and that nothing breaks down. Wind tunnels take a lot of energy to run various tests, and the small detailed models can be very expensive. If a test run is stopped because something is broken, something isn't working properly, or a model breaks down, it can be very costly. Technicians may not have engineering degrees, but many have engineering experience. Engineering students often work part-time or full-time as technicians to make money and gain experience while they are still in school.

Boeing Delivers Indian Air Force's 1st C-17 to Flight Test

2013-04-03T12:01:00.002-07:00

LONG BEACH, Calif., January 23, 2013 - Boeing [NYSE: BA] on Jan. 22 delivered -- on schedule -- the first of 10 C-17 Globemaster III airlifters for the Indian Air Force (IAF). India's first C-17 will now enter a U.S. Air Force flight test program at Edwards Air Force Base in Palmdale, Calif. Boeing is on track to deliver four more C-17s to the IAF this year and five in 2014.

"The C-17 met the stipulated airlift requirements of the Indian Air Force when it flew field evaluation trials in India during June 2010," said Air Commodore Sanjay Nimesh, Air Attaché at the Embassy of India. "It was exciting to see the C-17 fly again, this time with Indian Air Force markings, as the airlifter completed its first-flight milestone on Jan. 11. We look forward to the day that the first IAF C-17 flies over India."

"The C-17's ability to operate in extremely hot and cold climates; transport large payloads across vast ranges; and land on short, austere runways makes it ideal for India's airlift needs," said Nan Bouchard, Boeing vice president and C-17 program manager. "We value our continued partnership with India and the U.S. government and will provide dedicated support as India's first C-17 enters flight testing."

India's Ministry of Defence signed an agreement with the U.S. government on June 15, 2011, to acquire 10 C-17 airlifters, making India the largest C-17 customer outside the United States. The governments finalized the Foreign Military Sales contract for the airframe on June 6, 2012.

Boeing has delivered 250 C-17s worldwide, including 218 to the U.S. Air Force active duty, Guard and Reserve units. A total of 32 C-17s have been delivered to Australia, Canada, India, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the 12-member Strategic Airlift Capability initiative of NATO and Partnership for Peace nations.

Boeing will support the IAF C-17 fleet through the Globemaster III Integrated Sustainment Program (GISP) Performance-Based Logistics contract. The GISP "virtual fleet" arrangement ensures mission readiness by providing all C-17 customers access to an extensive support network for worldwide parts availability and economies of scale. This brings spares and support closer to the point of use and makes the C-17 more affordable to own and operate.

A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is one of the world's largest defense, space and security businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world's largest and most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft. Headquartered in St. Louis, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is a $32 billion business with 60,000 employees worldwide. Follow us on Twitter:@BoeingDefense.
