What is aeronautical engineering ?

<p>Hello guyz,</p>

<p>i have heard of something called 'aeronautical engineering'. But, i dont know what it is?
can anyone of you help me out in this ??
Is aeronautical engineering got something to do with aircrafts and all !!..?? :D</p>

<p>what do aeronautical engineers have to do..?</p>

<p>I have also heard of aircraft-mechanical engineering..?</p>

<p>Are both the fields same..?</p>

<p>plzz can anyone explain this to me..?</p>

<p>You should consider looking at different schools and their descriptions of the different engineering majors they offer for the most comprehensive answer to your question. Or try Wikipedia for some basic information.</p>

<p>Yes aeronautical engineers have something to do with aircrafts and all. Look on wikipedia. I’ve never heard of aircraft mechanical engineering. That’s probably a certain concentration within mechanical engineering that some schools might offer or something. It probably wouldn’t cover all of the same aeronautical concepts that AE would cover. I’m not really sure though.
[Aerospace</a> engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautical_engineer]Aerospace”>Aerospace engineering - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>Aeronautical pertains to the design of moving things within the atmosphere (usually planes), astronautical pertains to the design of moving things outside of the atmosphere. Notice I said moving things, as jobs in these two fields are not limited to just airplanes or rockets. Most universities in the US teach a program that involves both, a degree in Aerospace engineering. </p>

<p>“Aircraft-mechanical engineering” is probably a term some company uses to describe a job that is held by a mechanical engineer working with aircraft. Often times mechanical engineers will work in the aerospace field as the two are closely related.</p>
