I am a senior in Aerspace Engineering, and this morning I went in for advising for my fall semester classes. My advisor told me that he heard that the US Air Force basically canned all hypersonic airplane research a couple of months ago. He also told me that NASA is probably going to follow suit pretty soon. Is this true? Has anyone else heard of this? I hope not, since I am planning on going into military hypersonic aircraft design after I graduate! robin :p ------------------------------------------------------------------ | Robin L.

It may not be too late to switch your major to Electrical or Mechanical engineering. I suspect that there will be a limited number of AeroEngineering jobs in the future... what with Boeing and Lockheed laying off thousands of people... Aero Engineering doesn't always apply to different fields... but Electrical or Mechanical Engineering would probably find a lot of different jobs.
