A flight engineer (FE), also sometimes called an air engineer, is the member of an aircraft's flight crew who monitors and operates its complex aircraft systems. In the early era of aviation, the position was sometimes referred to as the "air mechanic". Flight engineers can still be found on some larger fixed-wing airplanes, and rotary wing helicopters. A similar crew position exists on some spacecraft. For U.S. civilian aircraft that require a flight engineer as part of the crew, the FE must possess an FAA Flight Engineer certificate with reciprocating, turboprop, or turbojet ratings appropriate to the aircraft. Whereas the four-engine Douglas DC-4 did not require an FE, the FAA Type Certificates of subsequent four engine reciprocating engine airplanes (DC-6, DC-7, Constellation, Boeing 307 and 377) and early three- and four-engine jets (Boeing 707, 727, early 747, DC-10) required FEs. Later three- and four-engine jets (MD-11, B-747-400 and later) were designed with sufficient automation to eliminate the FE position.
An engineer is a practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical, societal and commercial problems. Engineers design materials, structures, and systems while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost. The word engineer is derived from the Latin words ingeniare ("to contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness").
The work of engineers forms the link between scientific discoveries and their subsequent applications to human needs and quality of life.
In 1960, the Conference of Engineering Societies of Western Europe and the United States of America defined "professional engineer" as follows:
Engineers develop new technological solutions. During the engineering design process, the responsibilities of the engineer may include defining problems, conducting and narrowing research, analyzing criteria, finding and analyzing solutions, and making decisions. Much of an engineer's time is spent on researching, locating, applying, and transferring information. Indeed, research suggests engineers spend 56% of their time engaged in various information behaviours, including 14% actively searching for information.

NASA Headquarters employees joined Astronaut Reid Wiseman, Expedition 41 flight engineer, for a post-flight presentation on Tuesday, June 23, to learn about his time onboard the space station as part of Expedition 40 and 41. As a member of the ISS Expedition 41 crew, Wiseman began his stay aboard the orbiting laboratory in May 2014 and returned to Earth in November 2014. This mission was his first spaceflight and included almost 13 hours of spacewalking to perform work outside the orbital complex. He and his crewmates also spent hundreds of hours conducting valuable scientific research in areas such as human physiology, medicine, physical science, Earth science and astrophysics.
Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 30 Flight Engineer Don Pettit, who is a native of Oregon, fielded questions about the progress of his mission and upcoming activities with reporters from KEX Radio and KOIN-TV in Portland, Ore., during a pair of in-flight interviews on Jan. 18.

A flight in the CS 727-100. A vintage medium/short haul Jet-liner from the 1960's With no FMC/INS/SAT NAV or even Doppler, we navigate with Radio receiver VOR sets and Maps with J routes. This is a full movie intended to demonstrate the above and the Multi Crew Experience First Officer Lorna, we actually have a female first officer in the right seat...thanks to CS visual modelling, check her out in the right hand seat! and Flight Engineer (William). William is working the radios on this flight, an example of what's possible with MCE and RC4! Also demonstrated is commercial Jet flight with early generation automatics! Com Radios are shared between captain and crew, by verbal command from the captain flying. (say "your coms" "my coms"...to transfer radios to the first officer or flight ...
