Aeronautics Course
Aeronautics is a branch of engineering that deals with the science and technology of
flight within the Earth's atmosphere. It covers the design, construction, operation,
and
maintenance of aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft.
Aeronautics courses typically include the following subjects:
- Aerodynamics: The study of the forces and motions of air around objects.
- Propulsion: The study of how to generate thrust to propel an aircraft forward.
- Structures: The study of how to design aircraft structures that are strong and lightweight.
- Materials: The study of the materials used to build aircraft.
- Avionics: The study of the electronic systems used in aircraft.
- Control systems: The study of how to control the flight of an aircraft.
- Safety: The study of how to make aircraft safe to fly.
Aeronautics graduates can find work in a variety of industries, including:
- Aerospace engineering firms
- Airlines
- Defense contractors
- Government agencies
- Research institutions
