Aircraft History
Begins well before the 1800’s with many attempts to fly using gliders, balloons, etc.
The components needed to create an airplane were being independently developed
The Wright Brothers put the pieces together in 1903
World War I pushed the development of aircraft forward

Aircraft Engineering
Aerospace is not the only component
Includes Aerospace, Materials, Structural, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering
You can’t deny, it’s pretty awesome.

Aircraft & Society
+Allows for incredibly fast and efficient transportation of goods and people
-Can be used by the wrong people for the wrong reasons (9/11)
-Airport security is a doozy

Chernobyl History
Nuclear meltdown in 1986
Operator error combined with a faulty design flaw
Massive radiation leak

Chernobyl Engineering
Nuclear fission used to create electrical energy
Unique graphite control rods used in Chernobyl reactor to moderate fission
Rod design was the final straw in creating the disaster

Chernobyl & Society
Thousands relocated and affected by radiation
Mutations in people and animals due to radioactive exposure

What Can Be Learned?
Engineers are actually human and learn from mistakes and successes just like anyone else
Aviation Wartime can often accelerate the advancement of technology
Chernobyl Better precautions must be made in encapsulating and protecting nuclear reactors
