Aerospace Engineering

What is Aerospace Engineering.?

In simple words Aerospace engineering deals with designing and building machines that fly. It is one of the newest branches of engineering, and began in the 19th century with the first experiments in powered flight. As technology progressed, two specialties emerged; aeronautical engineering, which involves designing aircraft such as powered lighter-than-air craft, gliders, fixed-wing airplanes and jets, autogyros, and helicopters; and astronautical engineering, which focuses on the design and development of spacecraft. 

Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft.It has two major and overlapping branches:

• Aeronautical engineering 
• Astronautical Engineering.
