Aviation & aerospace engineering Videos Recommended on Hacker News (124)

Aviation & aerospace engineering is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 124 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2009 and 2026 — 232 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Aviation: airplanes, airlines, pilots, flight training, air traffic control, jet engines, aircraft design, crashes and investigations, paramotors, drones, helicopters, Boeing, aircraft history.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on Children Of The Magenta Line: “if you haven't seen this amazing talk, you should definitely give it a watch” — an HN commenter, 2024.
