Aerospace or Aeronautical Engineering, is one of the most advanced and difficult forms of engineering. The roots of aeronautical engineering can be traced to the early days of mechanical engineering, to inventors’ concepts, and to the initial studies of aerodynamics, a branch of theoretical physics. The earliest sketches of flight vehicles were drawn by Leonardo da Vinci, who suggested two ideas for sustentation. Aeronautical engineers design and test aircraft, space vehicles and military space weapons and missiles for commercial airplane manufacturers, military agencies & aerospace research laboratories. This type of Engineer studies the necessary physics for designing aircrafts that will fly; they are involved primarily in designing aircraft and propulsion systems and in studying the aerodynamic performance of aircraft and construction materials. These engineers design aircraft structural components, decide and plan the engine propulsion design based upon the aircraft power requirements, also they request prototype versions of new designs for testing in laboratories prior to flights. They work with the theory, technology, and practice of flight within the earth’s atmosphere. An aerospace engineer experiments with new designs to enhance performance and cost. In addition, they test prototypes to make sure that they function according to design. Aerospace engineers are employed in industries whose workers design or build aircraft, missiles, systems for national defense, or spacecraft. One of the major career opportunities for aeronautic engineers is working with the US government, air force, army, etc. Aerospace engineers are employed primarily in analysis and design, manufacturing, industries that perform research and development, and the federal government. This is a bright future career, in which you confer with test pilots, customer executives & research engineers to
