WHAT IS THE JOB OF AERONAUTICS?
Aeronautical
engineering is always in demand of the most modern technology for the
invention, development and maintenance of the commercial or military air
craft’s, space crafts and their components, satellites and missile as well.
Designing, manufacturing, testing, operation are also come under aerospace
engineering as all of them make the field more demanding one way or other. It
needs perfect use of advanced technology.
QUALIFICATION:
