The Programme
Aeronautical Engineering is one of the most challenging fields of engineering with a wide scope for growth. This deals with the development of new technology in the field of aviation, space exploration and defence systems. It specializes in the designing, construction, development, testing, operation and maintenance of both commercial and military aircraft, spacecrafts and their components as well as satellites and missiles.
As Aeronautical engineering involves design and manufacture of very high technology systems, the job requires manual, technical as well as mechanical aptitude. An aeronautical engineer needs to be physically fit and fully dedicated to his/her work. One needs to be alert, have an eye for detail and should have a high level of mathematical precision to be successful.
The specializations includes in areas like Structural Design, Navigational Guidance and Control Systems, Instrumentation and Communication or Production Methods or it can be in a particular product such as Military Aircrafts, Passenger Planes, Helicopters, Satellites, Rockets etc. Aeronautical Engineers may work in areas like design, development, and maintenance as well as in the managerial posts.
Career Scope
Aeronautical Engineers work with one of the most technologically advanced branches of engineering. The main thrust in this area is on design and development of aircrafts to space and satellite research. They find a very good demand in Airlines, Aircraft Manufacturing Units, Air Turbine Production Plants or Design Development Programmes for the Aviation Industry. Aerospace environment is sophisticated with rewarding career opportunities involving leading-edge technology.
Job Prospects
Job opportunities for an Aeronautical Engineer in India, lies with various airlines like Air India/Indian Airlines, Helicopter Corporation of India and flying clubs, all private airlines and government owned air service and aircraft manufacturers like the Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL), Defence Research and Development Organization, National Aeronautical Lab (NAL), Aeronautical Development Establishment, Civil Aviation Department etc. The Defence services and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) also happen to be two major employers.
