INTRODUCTION
In following report it will be discusser about the aeronautical engineering skill and the scope of the
study. The aeronautical engineering is preferred due to curiosity and wide scope of development in
the economy. The iconic for the aeronautical engineering will Elon musk whose achievement and
development will be discussed below.
1.Personal professional development
Aeronautical engineering is the field where the study , design and the manufacturing of air
flights and various techniques for operating aircraft and rockets within the atmosphere. From
childhood I was various curious within the design and development of aircraft and related
machinery. With the growing age I became more keen around the mechanism of aircraft and
machines related to that. I wasn't to pursue my further studies in aeronautical engineering so that I
come close to my dreams and sloe my curiosity.
In the core subject of aeronautical engineering I would like to have more through knowledge
of aircraft performance and structure of aircraft(Lanzinerand Strong, 2016). As this is been my area
of interest since childhood so I would like to enjoy more of this area of subject with the help of
innovative idea and development.
I have the strong mathematical and problem solving skills along with the keen interest in
development of infrastructure in aircraft. So I have taken admission in the aeronautical engineering
as my skills and curiosity to deals with issues in completion of this engineering. As the aeronautical
2

engineering is a specialized branch in aviation industry and most challenging fields with a wide
scope. There are various scope of career option as completion of aeronautical engineering such as
scientist or technician in biggest space organisation NASA.
The maintaining the management of time and stress in my biggest weakness on which I am
working to improve. There strength in maintaining the finances in completion of aeronautical
engineering. I have to to make proper learning style in development of skill And innovative ideas
that will help in achieving the standers and benchmarks of the aeronautical engineering.
There many many skill that are required to be develop I the achieving the standard of aeronautical
engineering.
There are various skill required aeronautical engineering as I am good as mathematical reasoning
and innovative ideas and speed and accuracy that is mainly needed to serviced in short peropd of
time (Shi and et.al, 2016). The weakness in completion of aeronautical engineering is in developing
the leadership qualities so that they are able to work in team and have strong analytical ability.
2.Employability professionalism.
Elon musk is one of the iconic engineer , business man, genius and an inventor as famously
known for being co-founder of Tesla(working in development of electric cars), PayPal and solar-
city. He is mainly the founder of Space X(Kwok and Grondzik, 2018). The astounding success has
comparison with list of successful person of world. The list includes Steve jobs, Howard Hughes
and Bill gates.
Musk is considered as major developer in engineering field and technology for his outstanding work
for space travel. At the initial stage the musk brothers have launch it company Zip 2 in which the
starting two years were grind but slowly the business succeed and later it was take over by
Altavista at record deal of $307 million. Later on he started working as CEO in PayPal and later
bought by eBay in 1.5 billion which gave him a right amount of capital to focus on his real passion
of aeronautical engineering.
The company Space X has been established which have given final frontier to his ambition
as they landed with many high profile contact with NASA and the Air force as to conduct various
military mission and rocket design. Musk is hoping to collaborate with NASA to send astronauts in
Mars by 2025(Bucciarelli and Kuhn, 2018.). Elon musk have the major contribution in
development of electric cars by Tesla motors In force with engineers martin Eberhard and Marc
Tarpenning. Tesla was the first company to introduce the commercial electric car , the Tesla
3

Roadster. With the major contribution of Musk the Tesla has became the most popular car brand
even beating out most popular auto brand GM and Ford stated by consumer report in 2018.
Elon Musk have the revolutionary impact in motor sector by developing the electric cars in
the market alone with this company has came up with Tesla battery in market as clean energy by
company solar city. With the development of this innovation the main motto of company to reduce
the dependency electricity so these innovation somewhere reduce the footprint on environment. The
innovation of hyperloop to solve the problem in Southern California of congested problem as to
reduce the time travelling to next 30 minutes. The next be development of company space X X has
been established which have given final frontier to his ambition as they landed with many high
profile contact with NASA and the Air force as to conduct various military mission and rocket
design(Abdirad and Dossick, 2016.). At the initial level of his carrier he has introduction of PayPal
there is the introduction of digital currency.
Strength is its work ethics as he is super hard worker which makes him believe what he
want to achieve and trying still they don't achieves it. Weakness is his timelines as he have tendency
of underestimating problems which results in unrealistic timelines.
The lesson drawn from that adverse condition makes a person more strong. He was a
bachelor in physic and economic but he creates the history in aeronautical and space software. He
was only a engineer but he was also a business man, genius and an inventor . He has mantra of life
as to think big and do big. The person should also follow his philosophy that luck favours them who
have prepaid mind and knew how to screw up the detractors.

CONCLUSION
At the end the scope and skill required for the development of aeronautical engineering is
discussed. The reason to choose the study along with the iconic idol for choosing the study is Elon
musk. His skill and achievement have be disused along with strength and weakness. the lesson of
the leader is given as to let a particular standard and benchmark to success in life.
