What r/AerospaceEngineering Is For
This community is a forum for enthusiasts, hobbyists, and professionals. People post here to share knowledge, share experiences, and learn about aerospace topics.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that matter most for any posting are “No low effort posts”, “No self promo”, “No career or University Questions”, “No imaginary aerospace”, “No homework questions”, “No questions about lift”, “No unprofessional comments”, and “No answering questions if you are not knowledgeable”.
What To Post
Since this is a knowledge sharing forum, you need to post substantive aerospace related content. If you are a founder, you should share technical insights or experiences related to aerospace engineering. Your posts must be detailed and provide value to the community.
What To Avoid
You must avoid posting anything that is low effort or not related to aerospace. Do not post self promotion or any other solicitations because that will get you removed and banned. Specifically, you cannot ask career or university questions on the main page, nor can you post homework questions. Posting imaginary aircraft or spacecraft is also not allowed here.
A note from Anthony
It is clear that the moderators take technical accuracy very seriously. The requirement in rule 8 that all assertions must be supported by links to credible sources is quite strict. It also seems like the community prefers keeping career and lift questions out of the main feed and moving them to a monthly mega thread.
