Question
Hello Paul,

If you don't mind, I would like to ask you a personal question.  What is your favorite area in Aerospace engineering and why?  Also, do you know of any excellent Aerospace forums that I could join?

Answer
I favor aeroacoustics in all aspects (propeller noise, airframe noise, jet noise, flow noise, wind tunnel noise, etc.) and low-speed aerodynamics (vehicle drag, lift, wind tunnel systems).  I recommend the various AIAA forums and technical conferences to learn what is happening in the field.
