Aeronautical engineering offers a wide range of roles in research, design, development, testing, manufacture and maintenance. Many engineers specialise in a particular area such as propulsion, avionics, systems integration, aerodynamics or materials and structures.
Applying the principles of science and technology to create aircraft, components and support equipment;
Researching and developing design specifications
undertaking systematic manufacturing, involving the assembly and modification of components
supervising the assembly of airframes and the installation of engines, instruments and other equipment
participating in flight test programmes to measure take-off distances, rate of climb, stall speeds, manoeuvrability and landing capacities
resolving issues that arise during the design, development and testing processes
maintaining aircraft for full operation including making regular inspections, maintenance and servicing
measuring and improving the performance of aircraft, components and systems;
modifying designs to improve safety features or minimise fuel consumption and pollution;
developing repair procedures as well as working out and managing schedules for repair and maintenance;
investigating aircraft accidents;
collating information, interpreting data and publishing the results of specific projects in technical report form;
using computer-aided design (CAD) software to create designs and plans;
storing paperwork for approved data (drawings, technical instructions, assessments and calculations);
working with teams, suppliers, clients and managers to agree budgets, timescales and specifications;
project managing, including scheduling resources and staff and managing budgets;
communicating technical and regulatory advice to clients, teams, suppliers and other professionals within the aerospace industry and presenting data to groups
Skills required
This field of engineering is technically demanding and challenging.
Along with strong mathematical base, student should also have a creative and analytical mind.
Students are also required to be physically fit, esp. who opt to work for defence.
