“Aeronautical Engineering” is one of the most popular fields for the students who wish to make their career in aircraft, airplanes, jet planes and space shuttles.

Aeronautical engineering is the deep study of “Aeronautics”. Aeronautics term has come from the ancient Greek word “Aer” which means ‘Air’ and “Nautike” which means ‘navigation of the air’.
Aeronautics is the art or science of the manufacturing, design, and study of air flight capable machines.
“Aeronautical engineering involves the study, design and research of the machines or airplanes which moves in the space and air sphere of the earth”.
Aeronautical engineers use their technical knowledge in designing, constructing, maintaining and testing the aircraft and related systems.
The field, Aeronautical engineering is the best career oriented field. It is one of the challenging fields of engineering. The aeronautical engineering deals with the technology and development in aviation, defense and exploration system.
Course & Duration
Aeronautical engineering is an emerging field of engineering study. The basic requirements for the course, that the students’ must have a good command over the mathematics, physics and chemistry. The students’ have a choice to choose the field after 10+2 with good percentage.
There are three types of courses in India of aeronautical engineering.
1.       Polytechnic diploma course with the duration of 3 years after 10 or 10+2 examination.
2.      UG degree courses leading to the BE/B.Tech with the duration of 4 years after 10+2 examination.
3.      PG degree courses leading to the ME/M.Tech with the duration of 2 years after the completion of UG degree in engineering.
4.      Doctoral degree courses leading to the PhD domain with the duration of 1-2 years after the completion of PG degree in AE.
Admission Process
Students need to appear in JEE Main to get the admission in UG programme. For admission to PG engineering courses like M.Tech candidates have to appear in GATE exam.
All IITs and NITs conduct the engineering programme in aeronautical engineering. There are some other universities and colleges in India (Punjab, Tamil Nadu & Maharashtra) which offers the same programme.
The student who had a B.Tech degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering or mechanical engineering can get the admission in M.Tech with aeronautical engineering.
To get admission in M.Tech programme, it is mandatory for the candidates to qualify Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). Through this entrance test, students will be able to take admission in IITs or NITs regulating M.Tech in Aeronautical engineering.
Some states and institutions/Universities also organizes its own entrance exam to provide admissions.
The students are taught about the navigation system, control systems, communication & radar system, structural design, maintenance, quality check, testing launch, development and manufacturing of the aircraft and spacecraft.

Empennage

Image
Empennage     The empennage, commonly called the tail assembly (see figure 1-7), is the rear section of the body of the airplane. Its main purpose is to give stability to the aircraft.  The fixed parts are the horizontal stabilizer and the vertical stabilizer or fin. The front, fixed section is called the  horizontal stabilizer  and is used to p revent the airplane from pitching up or down .   The rear section is called the  elevator  and is usually hinged to the horizontal stabilizer. The elevator is a movable airfoil that  controls the up-and-down motion of the aircraft's nose.    The vertical tail structure is divided into the  vertical stabilizer and the rudder . The front section is called the  vertical stabilizer and is used to prevent the aircraft from yawing back and forth .  The principle behind its operation is much like the principle of a deep keel on a sailboat. In ligh...

Power Plant

Image
 Power Plant    The power plant may be an engine and propeller combination or a jet engine. The most commonly used power plant in personal aircraft is the gasoline engine, which will be studied in detail later in this chapter. It is mounted in position against a fire wall in the front section of the airplane. The fire wall provides separation of the power plant from the remainder of the fuselage. The engine cowling is the metal covering which encases the engine and its accessories, streamlining the plane and conducting air around the engine cylinders for cooling. Because the action of the pistons is an up-and-down movement, this engine is called a reciprocating engine or a piston engine. In multiengine aircraft, the engines are usually mounted on the leading edges of the wings.   The jet engine gives the airplane a thrust (push forward) because of the jet exhaust gas coming out of the back of the engine. The moving part of this engine is a turbi...
