WHAT IS AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING ? ELIGIBILITY AND COURSE SUBJECTS

 

Aeronautical engineering is a study about the design and systems of an aircraft. It involves practical and theoretical understanding of materials, assembling parts, testing and maintenance of air crafts. Professional engineers working in this domain have to be licensed aeronautical engineers. The course also enables students to attain knowledge of advanced technology used in aircraft traveling in outer space. Aeronautical engineering also covers disciplines like aerodynamics, avionics and propulsion among others. Students pursuing aeronautical engineering can explore opportunities in defense organizations, government research centers, aircraft manufacturing organizations and NASA.
