Aeronautical Engineering study

Aeronautical Engineering
Aerospace engineers design, develop, and test aircrafts, spacecrafts, and missiles and supervise the production of these products.Those who work with aircrafts are called aeronautical engineers, and those working specifically with spacecrafts are astronautical engineers. Aerospace engineers develop new technologies for use in aviation, defence systems, and space exploration, often specialising in areas such as structural design, guidance, navigation and control, instrumentation and communication, or production methods.They also may specialise in a particular type of aerospace product, such as commercial aircrafts, military fighter jets, helicopters, spacecrafts, or missiles and rockets, and may become experts in aerodynamics, thermodynamics, celestial mechanics, propulsion, acoustics, or guidance and control systems.
Aeronautical / Aerospace engineering deals with the development of new technology in the field of aviation space exploration and defence systems. It specialises in the designing, construction, development, testing, operation and maintenance of both commercial and military aircrafts, spacecrafts and their components as well as satellites and missiles.
As aerospace engineering involves design and manufacture of very high technology systems, the job requires manual, technical as well as mechanical aptitude. Aeronautical engineers usually work in teams under the supervision of senior engineers, bringing together their skills and technical expertise. Though highly paid, the work is very demanding. An aeronautical engineer needs to be physically fit and fully dedicated to his work.
The specialisations include areas like structural design, navigational guidance and control systems, instrumentation and communication or production methods or it can be in a particular product such as military aircrafts, passenger planes, helicopters, satellites, rockets etc. Engineers may work in areas like design, development, maintenance as well as in the managerial and teaching posts in institutes.They are in great demand in airlines, aircraft manufacturing units, air turbine production plants or design development programmes for the aviation industry.The aerospace environment is sophisticated with rewarding career opportunities involving leading edge technology.
By definition, aerospace engineering is involved with all phases of research and development in
aeronautics and astronautics. Aeronautical engineering works specifically with aircraft or aeronautics. Astronautical engineering works specifically with spacecraft or astronautics. As technology races forward, the industry that once built aircrafts and then spacecrafts is now building aerospacecrafts such as the Space Shuttle, National Aerospace Plane (NASP), or the single stage to orbit X-33. Thus, two interrelated disciplines have merged into one mature “aerospace” industry.This is not to imply that there is no distinction between aeronautics and astronautics.They are two very separate areas that operate according to completely different natural laws and theories.

Employment opportunity:

Companies and government agencies in the aeronautics field employ a broad range of professionals: chiefly aerospace, mechanical, and electrical engineers, but they also include engineers, scientists, and technicians from a variety of specialties. Four major divisions exist in the Aeronautics side of the Aerospace Industry: military aircraft, civilian aircraft, aircraft engines, and missile systems.These engineers can look forward to employment at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, DRDO, Air India, Indian Airlines, ISRO.There are limited opportunities in this branch, therefore a large number take Research and development areas in Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Civil Aviation, Defense Laboratories or Civil Aviation departments.
Eligibility: II PUC/ 12TH STD PASS with Physics/ Chemistry/ Mathematics
