What is Aerospace Engineering?

Air travel as we know it today is a feat of engineering excellence.

Thanks to aerospace engineers, we can travel the world or visit the moon.

Aerospace engineers design, construct and operate aircraft, aerospace vehicles and propulsion systems – including planes, jets, helicopters, gliders, missiles and spacecraft.

Their tasks vary from improving the speed and strength of an aircraft, ensuring its safety, creating automatic control systems, or researching the use of new composite materials such as carbon fibre.
