The facilities are well maintained, and relatively new although some equipment could be refurbished or replaced to better the student teaching on the rigs.

My favourite module is the Aircraft Stability and Flight Test module as it gives a practical appreciation into the rigorous testing procedure to ensure an aircraft is safe to fly. It is also incredibly exciting to spend a week at Cranfield University to actually go in an aircraft to take readings during test flights to compare with the theoretical performance.

I hope to go into the field of aerodynamics, or test flight engineering, once I graduate. My degree will be beneficial to this, as I am studying aerodynamics-based modules which provides the necessary base knowledge for the role. Additionally, the 'Aircraft Stability and Flight Test' module has provided me with a deep insight into the field of flight testing and has also allowed me to practically experience the procedure that must be carried out to certify an aircraft for commercial use.
