Hi Morgan. There are some really interesting applications out there for aeronautical technology. It's not just flying people from city to city. The missile defense agency uses surveillance aircraft to help protect us from attack. Many types of specialized aircraft are used in aerial firefighting. Medevac and news helicopters have huge impacts on people's lives, even helping save some.

Lisa recommends the following next steps:

Visit Boeing, Northrup Grumman, and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems websites to see the latest innovations and applications.

Dr. Kelly’s Answer

Depending on your perspective, the aviation sector is crucial for transporting both people and products. In our post-pandemic world, travel has actually increased compared to pre-pandemic times. As we move further into 2024, online shopping has become a regular part of our lives, necessitating the constant movement of goods. If these products aren't transported by sea or road, they're flying through the air.

When it comes to the military, innovation is key to maintaining a strong defense. The comfort and liberty we experience daily often owe a lot to the hardworking engineers scattered across the country, tirelessly supporting our military.

The United States Space Force, now a separate branch of the armed forces, has gained quite a bit of traction. This is largely due to the public's awareness that if the government hadn't created this sector, private investors would have taken the lead in the race to Mars.
