      Hey!

      Aircrat are fun because they combine multiple engineering subjects in one: they combine electronics and control with aerodynamics (fluid dynamics), structural mechanics (i.e. the structures of the wing, fuselage and tail) and propulsion (how engines works).

      Behind all that, there is a massive system integration that must happen so they can fit nicely and work.

      This is why I like aeroplanes so much, because they involve multiple disciplines at once.
