Aerospace Engineering - notes Aerospace engineering

History section lacks all aerospace history (in atmosphere) after the first jet-powered aircraft. Possible edits could include supersonic flight (Concorde), jumbo and super jumbo passenger aircraft (747 and A380, respectively), and the industry trend into composite materials most recently (787, A350, 777X).

Jumbo and superjumbo aircraft - talk about why this is important in aerospace timeline. Carrying hundreds of passengers, previously unimaginable size, etc.

Composites - talk about new opportunities these materials have created in the industry. Cost saving/fuel efficiency. New longer ranges to complete routes previously impossible without stopping.
