Aeronautical Engineering covers a wide variety of topics that are concerned with the design, development, and upkeep of aircraft and spacecraft. Key topics are aerodynamics, where you'll learn about the way air flows around objects, and propulsion, which deals with engines and power generation for flight. You'll learn about materials science to learn about the materials used in aircraft manufacture, making them strong but light.
Other topics are fluid mechanics, which is concerned with the motion of air and gases, and structural analysis, which is needed to ensure aircraft are strong enough to handle flight stresses. Avionics introduces you to the electronics involved in flight control, navigation, and communication systems. You'll also learn about flight mechanics for studying the principles of aircraft flight and control systems to learn how aircraft are controlled and stabilized. Along the way, you'll learn about safety regulations, testing, and advancements in aircraft technologies.
