Aeronautical Engineering
“It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill” – Wilbur Wright, Aviation Pioneer/Inventor
Aeronautical Engineering
Are you highly proficient in Mathematics and Physics? Captivated by the history and methodology behind airplanes, aircrafts or flying machines? Then pursuing a higher education in the field of Aeronautical Engineering might be right for you.
Today, the field of study is one of two major and overlapping branches of Aerospace Engineering, with Astronautical Engineering following it. Aeronautical Engineering involves the research, design, development, construction, testing, science and technology of aircraft. Students are taught to investigate aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft which include factors such as airfoil, control surfaces, lift and drag. Undergraduates often start with building a solid foundation in subjects required for the designing, building and testing of aircrafts which consists of mathematics, physics, mechanics and electronics during their first year. Students expand their foundation learning and specialisation as they advance through the course with degree specialisations include Aerodynamics, Aeroelasticity, Composites Analysis, Avionics, Propulsion, Structures and Materials, Statics and Dynamics, Software, Solid Mechanics, and Aeroacoustics.
Careers in Aeronautical Engineering
Some popular Aeronautical Engineering careers include Aeronautical Engineer, Aeronautical Researcher, Aeronautical Designer, Aeronautical Maintenance Technician, and Aeronautical Consultant. Graduates could also choose a specific area of aeronautical engineering to specialise in such as Propulsion, Avionics, Composite Aircraft Structures, Systems Integration, Aerodynamics and Materials and Structures, Developer of Fixed Wing, Rotary-wing, Aircraft Engineering, Missiles, Software and Rocket Engine. Similarly, graduates may pursue a management role such as Passenger or Cargo Airline Operator Executive.
