Andrew is the founder and builder of AeroToolbox.com. Growing up with an unhealthy passion for all things aviation related, he studied aeronautial engineering and has spent a decade in the aerospace industry, working as a structural engineer, first on the Airbus A400M and later leading the stress analysis of a new wing design for a MALE UAV.
It was well working as a structural analyst that he discovered his love of programming, and has now branched out into running Canard Analytics, a software design consultancy focusing on developing in Python, and specialising in data analytics, process automation, and web applications.
The question of how an airplane’s wing produces lift is one of the most frequently asked aeronautical questions and also one of the most poorly explained.
