Introduction to Aeronautical Engineering
Aeronautical engineering is one of the most popular career option for those students who want to make their career into airplanes, space shuttles, jumbo jets and other similar exciting stuff. Aeronautical engineering deals with all the technical details and mechanisms behind all flying bodies. Nowadays, Aeronautical engineers are needed in all sorts of areas such as Aircraft manufacturing units, space stations and many more important places. Aeronautical engineering degree helps you equip knowledge on the complex design and development of these high flying machines.
It deals with the aerodynamic and mechanical aspects of these machines and systems. This field also deals with navigation systems, radars and other communication networks.
