Aeronautical Engineering is a specialized branch of engineering that deals with the design, development, testing, and maintenance of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems. It involves the study of aerodynamics, aircraft structures, propulsion systems, control systems, materials science, and avionics.

Aeronautical engineers work on designing and developing aircraft and spacecraft, including commercial airplanes, military aircraft, helicopters, satellites, and missiles. They are involved in various stages of the product lifecycle, from conceptual design and modeling to prototype development and testing. They also work on improving aircraft performance, safety, and fuel efficiency. Additionally, aeronautical engineers are responsible for aircraft maintenance, repair, and safety inspections. They work on improving flight control systems, navigation systems, communication systems, and avionics technologies.

Career opportunities for aeronautical engineers can be found in aerospace companies, aviation companies, defense organizations, research institutions, and government agencies. They can work in roles such as aerospace engineer, aircraft designer, flight test engineer, aerodynamics specialist, avionics engineer, or propulsion engineer.
