Well, I'm a ... less recent grad and in all of the time that I worked as an AE, almost all of it was with Fortran. All of our CFD codes are in Fortran. All of the legacy aerodynamic performance codes are in Fortran. This also seems to be the case with our partners in the Air Force and with other corporations. Perhaps it's different in your sub-discipline?

Fortran seems to continue to be the standard in aerospace engineering. I think that anyone getting a degree in AE should take the time to at least familiarize himself/herself with Fortran.

I don't think the person writing the summary was implying that the list was DoD classified. I read this as being a more generic definition of "secret". Plus, it's pretty obvious from reading the document that it is not "SECRET".

You might be right about the dogfighting days being over. But just remember that the same argument was made 4 decades ago when they decided that F-4s didn't need guns.

Please let it go. We have a whole new administration to whine about.

Because they believe they MIGHT get better.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm pretty religious and I actually like my life. I enjoy spending time with my family and I'd like to hang around for a while. I actually don't spend a great deal of time thinking about the afterlife. I find that living my beliefs makes me happier in this life.

The stratosphere is about 8-15 km above sea level, depending on latitude. To put this in perspective, the top of Mt. Everest is two-ish km shy of the stratosphere.

What's that? I'm detecting a hint of sarcasm in the parent post.

Wow, slashdotters must have a REALLY low opinion of lawyers to have modded this insightful instead of funny.

Damn Canadians...
