    In case you missed it at the very end of the video. We just announced our latest project startpropeller.com/. Propeller is an engineering recruitment platform that we created to share the most exciting and innovative jobs in engineering. Take a look at the jobs with our launch partners Hermeus, Relativity Space and Helion. If you don't see anything relevant be sure to sign up to our newsletter to get updated on engineering news and opportunities.

    Getting some real "SR1-Normandy" vibes from this aircraft.
  • In Skunk Works (the company that designed the U-2, SR-71, X-15, F-22, F-35, etc etc ad infinitum) engineers regularly went to work in overalls, because desks don't invent anything. It sounds like Hermeus is taking the same, time-proven tactic. Awesome to see.

    I used to be in the Canadian Airforce as an Avionics Tech. I'm currently going to to school for electrical engineering. This whole video and discussion about the work environment involving every member and aspect of the job is something I've been saying is needed when I was in the Airforce. This has been a very exciting video to watch while working on my Applied Physics Lab Report and Stats Assignment.
  • @CzarOfMars
    As a young aerospace engineer, the discussion about manufacturing at the end of the video was what sold me on the potential of this company. Being able to get up from your desk and talk with a machinist who will make your part or a technician who will handle it is what makes the difference between a project that goes from a blank sheet of paper to flight in 5 years and one that gets cancelled after 15 years of wasting money. The business case might be dubious, but with a great mindset and team like that building the aircraft will be no issue.

    "engineers are mathematically inclined artists" love that sentence!

    Moved over to work at Relativity Space 6 months ago after 3 years at Tesla, and I’m genuinely so glad to see that your platform here on Youtube is being used to broadcast such a great company to a larger audience. It’s a wonderful place to work where the leadership really care about you and share the engineering drive that so many of us young engineers have. Come build the future with us!
  • when did he start to show his face omfg not what i expected, dude looks chill asf
  • @ElysiumCreator
    I love the idea that Brian had a neuron activation moment the moment he saw a working Turboramjet. That’s some crazy technological advancement for a company like that.
  • @xBigBean
    I'm not an engineer, and a lot of these videos take me hours to get through because i'm always going down rabbit holes on other tabs googling things talked about to get a better understanding, but this is by far my favourite channel on youtube. Every time you release a video I get excited that my dinner is about to have some great entertainment to go with it. Thanks for everything you do!
  • As an engineer.... Hats off to you for developing a platform that focuses and prioritises companies that wants to allow engineers to do their job. Incredibly well said that so many get pigeon holed, and we know all too well about the advantages of putting the people qualified to make decisions into the decision making process - such a simple concept so many overlook!! All the best with the new platform, and thanks as always for such incredibly detailed, insightful and entertaining videos, keep up the great work 👌👌
  • I'm doing a final project work in civil engineering for UG and stumbling on different challenges and overcoming them is challenging and tiring. These guys are making an aeroplane engine within 6 months. Seeing them facing so many big issues but solving them along the way is very inspiring. This video encourages the "engineering spirit" within me.
  • @Terensu-desu
    That's the kind of company I want to work at. Talented, passionate, and driven individuals working towards a beautiful goal. Love the Propeller concept. We definitely need more focus like this.
  • The romance of supersonic flight easily captures the heart. But fuel costs per seat is the metric you will have to solve in order to capture the minds of airlines.
  • @koxxy3749
    love the conversation with tonio, im an engineering manager and designer at my company and we always are constantly going from engineering to the shop floor speaking with machinists to make the best parts possible. Its the only way to do it
  • @CH3RRYxB0MBx
    Just want to say I've loved your content for a long time and I wish nothing but the best for the team behind this channel.
  • @rpower1401
    I have a masters degree in mechanical engineering. In university I used to assist in teaching machining. When I got my first and still current job (17 years) after graduating I was unceremoniously booted out of the machine shop as I wasn't formally educated in machining and the technicians felt I was stealing their work. I just worked around it by switching to 3D printers and laser cut parts. To maintain my skills and continue to grow them I gradually bought myself every tool needed to obtain all the fabrication skills I ever wanted in my home garage. No ideal but scratches that itch to build.
  • @user-rk1dx5qv5q
    What a genius move. Just through sheer views alone you're going to get tons of applicants, and high quality ones. That competition for the best applicants will incentivize people to do what they excel at. It's literally "may the best man win and rightfully get paid the most".
