Aerospace engineering called aeronautical engineering, or astronautically engineering, is the Field of engineering concerned with the design, development, construction, testing, and operation of vehicles operating in the Earth’s atmosphere or outer space.
The design of a flight vehicle demands a knowledge of many engineering disciplines. One person rarely takes on the entire task; instead, most companies have design teams specialized in the sciences of aerodynamics, propulsion systems, structural design, materials, avionics, and stability and control systems. No single design can optimize all of these sciences, but there exist compromised design that incorporates vehicle specifications, available technology, and economic feasibility.
Aerospace engineers are employed in industries where workers design or build aircraft, missiles, systems for national defense, or spacecraft. They work primarily for firms that engage in manufacturing, analysis and design, research and development, and for the federal government.
