Aeronautical engineering degrees represent the branch of engineering the deals with the research design,development,construction,testing,science and technology of aircraft.The field also covers investigation into aerodynamic characterstics of aircraft,including behaviors and related factors such as airfail control surfaces,lift and drag in recent years.Aeronautical engineering has become one of two major and overlapping branches of aerospace engineering,with astronautical engineering being the second.

If your fascinated by the history and methodology behind flying machines-from Leonardo Da Vinci's early conceptual sketches and the Wright brothers famous flight of 1903 through to the sophistication and progress of modern jets-aeronautical engineering could be the degree for you.
