FAQs
- What is the work of an Aeronautical Engineer?
An Aeronautical Engineer works with aircraft. Their primary job is to design aircraft and propulsion systems but with time, the engineers are given many more responsibilities to carry out. The aeronautical engineers study the mechanisms of aircraft. They work for a career in aircraft, aeroplanes, jet planes and space shuttles.
- Can an Aeronautical Engineer become a pilot?
Yes, an Aeronautics Engineer can become a pilot provided if they have done 12 with PCM, scoring more than 50%. Also, they must pass the class 1 Medical test done by the Aero Medics approved by DGCA.
- In which sector do Aeronautical Engineers get jobs?
The Aeronautical Engineers get jobs in the defence and aviation industry.
- Is Aeronautical Engineering good for females?
Yes, definitely. If students are good in PCM and have an interest in aircrafts mechanics, they should pursue this course without any hesitation, regardless of their gender.
- How is Aeronautical Engineering as a career?
Aeronautical Engineering is one of the best engineering courses with a high recruitment rate. They also have opportunities to work in government and private organisations, research centres etc.
- What kind of projects are undertaken during the course?
Students often work on projects such as Design and Fabrication of UAVs, Aeromodelling Projects, Aircraft Design Projects, Wind Tunnel Testing, and Simulation Projects related to flight dynamics or propulsion systems.
