CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PROFESSOR ELIE CARAFOLI’S ACTIVITY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY EDUCATION FOCUSING THE PROPULSION SYSTEMS FIELD
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The intent of this paper is to reveal other features of Professor Elie Carafoli’s complex personality, his devotion and fully commitment to the development of the aeronautical university education; the focus on the propulsion systems field was justified by the rapid succession of the political events on the worldwide stage and the subsequent mission assignment of the aviation as the ultimate weapon. A parallel evolution of the aerospace academic education, within the field of the propulsion systems, with fully details about the courses and professors was presented. The spiritual legacy of the Professor still continues today to drive generations of students to successful careers in aviation: academic education, fabrication, operations, top management.
