In recognition of World Engineering Day, the Royal Academy of Engineering has launched 4 new, inspirational films. This latest release, in partnership with BecomingX and Amazon, is part of the This is Engineering campaign about pioneering engineers and engineering champions who have overcome adversity to become changemakers.

The engineering heroes are:
- Tim Peake - astronaut and pilot
