Twenty five years from now I see myself working as an aerospace engineer maybe for Boeing, Lockheed Martin or maybe even NASA. Aerospace engineers are the primary engineers that research, design, develop, construct, test, study science and technology of aircraft and spacecraft. The branch of aerospace engineering I would like to work in is called aeronautical engineering, these field deals specifically with aircraft. Today's military planes most interest me, in particular one designed by Lockheed Martin called the F-35 Lightning. There are several variations of the plane as it was designed as a joint strike plane for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The most unique feature of the plane is that it is cable of taking off vertically and landing the same way. This is nothing new as another plane is capable of doing the same thing, the Harrier jet designed by the British. What is new is the way the F-35 is capable of achieving lift. The main turbine motor has a designed as a 3 bearing swivel which allows it to point down, also a fan is revealed behind the cockpit that opens when you want to "hover".
