VIHANG Aerospace Engineering "Sometimes, flying feels too godlike to be attained by man. Sometimes, the world from above seems too beautiful, too wonderful, too distant for human eyes to see..." — Charles A. Lindbergh, 'The Spirit of St. Louis', 1953 From Leonardo da Vinci to the Wright brothers to the Space Age, the field of aerospace engineering has reached a new pinnacle with every moment of triumph. And with every such feat, there has been a paradigm shift, a shift from viewing it as the unattainable dream to a reality part of our daily routines, our characters and our lives, so much so, that it has almost become ubiquitous. Aerospace engineering is not merely another advancement in technology, it is a phenomenon, that has made man capable of realising the most coveted of his desires, that of rising above the world, of flight defying the bonds of gravity, and that of seeking new worlds beyond the known.
