Aeronautical Engineering encompasses a wide range of subjects that focus on the design, development, and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft. Core subjects include aerodynamics, where students study airflow dynamics over aircraft surfaces, and propulsion, which covers the study of engines and propulsion systems. Students also explore flight mechanics, focusing on the principles of flight and aircraft performance.
The syllabus includes materials and structures, studying the materials used in aircraft construction and the structural integrity of these materials under different conditions. Avionics, which deals with the electrical and electronic systems in aircraft, is another crucial component. Additionally, fluid mechanics and control systems are studied to understand the behavior of fluids and the way an aircraft is controlled in flight. The design of aircraft and spacecraft is a central focus, ensuring that engineers can develop safe and efficient machines for air travel and space exploration.
