Aeronautical Engineering
Aeronautical Engineering is the branch of science and engineering that deals with the study and engineering of flying vehicles operating within the Earths atmosphere like aircrafts, helicopters, gliders etc

Introduction to Aeronautical Engineering


Aeronautical engineering is derived from Aeronautics. Aeronautics is a combination of Greek words aero and nautics. Aero means air or sky and nautics means to sail. Aeronautical Engineering encompasses the design, manufacture, fabrication and maintenance of flying vehicles like Airplanes, Helicopters and missiles etc. Airplanes and Helicopters have become the prime source of traveling these days through long distances. Aeronautical engineering study the science behind these flying vehicles, how they fly, how there is designed, how they would be manufactured and how they will be operated. Aeronautical Engineers work as a team to develop these amazing flying vehicles. Aeronautical Engineering is a sub-branch of Aerospace Engineering focuses solely on flying vehicles which operate in the Earths atmosphere while in Aerospace Engineering the focus is also on flying vehicles or spacecrafts that operate outside the earths atmosphere.

Aeronautical Engineering is an immensely important in the present day world. During the past 100 years aeronautical pioneers have revolutionized the world we live can. They developed the airplane with which we can develop the world all around the world and has shrunk the world into a global village. An aeronautical engineer works in airlines, aircraft maintenance and operation jobs, aircraft manufacturing and design jobs, Helicopter design and manufacturing jobs. There are a large number of jobs available in the field of Aeronautics and many aerospace companies are always on the look out for good aeronautical engineers. Since, Aeronautical engineering is a specialized field aeronautical engineers salary are higher as compared to other engineers. Aeronautical engineering is an immensely exciting and challenging engineering in which you solve problems relating to the science and technology of aircrafts and other flying vehicles and come up with unique solutions to the problem. An aeronautical engineering has vast research opportunities in both government and private industries. Aeronautical Engineering offers immense benefits in terms of growth in the aerospace industry in terms of both technical and managerial roles.

Benefits of Aeronautical Engineering

What is the study of Aeronautical Engineering


The study of Aeronautical engineering involves learning the science, technology and engineering behind the design, manufacture, maintenance and operation of flying vehicles like airplanes, helicopters, gliders and missile systems etc.

Major centers of Aeronautical Engineering

The major countries involved in Aeronautical engineering education and research are US, UK, Russia, France and Germany among many others.

Future of Aeronautical Engineering


Aeronautical Engineering future is very bright. There are huge number of possibilities and jobs available in the aerospace industry and aviation industry for aeronautical engineers and great room for personal growth and development and the demand for aerospace engineers is likely to remain so as there is a boom in world travel, aviation and aircraft industries.

What is the difference between an Aeronautical Engineer and an Aerospace Engineer

In order to understand the difference looks at the definition of Aerospace and Aeronautics. Aerospace is a broader science including aeronautics and astronautics and is the study of flying vehicles operating within and outside of the earths atmosphere. Aeronautics is the study of flying vehicles operating within the earth atmosphere...

How to become an Astronaut without studying Aerospace Engineering

If you wish to become an astronaut and dont wish to study aerospace engineer you dont need to. All you have to do is to join the Airforce and become a fighter pilot. NASA recruits top pilots from the Airforce to fly the shuttle on its missions.

Is it hard to become an Aerospace Engineer

Yes, its hard work to become an Aerospace engineer. But just like any other course engineering is hard work. But, Aerospace engineering is much more exciting and rewarding. It is very interesting subject and great learning opportunities are available in both learning and research. It takes 4 years to complete a bachelor degree in Aerospace engineer. You can also complete it in 5 years if you wish to lighten up the load..

Aerospace Engineering
Aerospace Engineering is the branch of the science and engineering that deals with the design, manufacturing, maintenance, operations and repair of flying vehicles that operate within and outside of the Earth's atmosphere Introduction to Aerospace Engineering There are two major branches of aerospace engineering.
