Learn more about aerospace

Aerospace is a broad field of engineering and science that focuses on the design, development, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems and equipment. It encompasses both aeronautics, which deals with vehicles that fly within Earth’s atmosphere, such as airplanes and helicopters, and astronautics, which involves vehicles that operate outside the atmosphere, like satellites and space probes. Aerospace engineers work on improving flight performance, safety, propulsion systems, materials, and navigation technologies. This industry plays a crucial role in transportation, defense, communication, and space exploration. Advances in aerospace technology have led to innovations such as commercial air travel, GPS systems, and space missions, profoundly impacting modern society and scientific discovery. The aerospace field combines disciplines such as fluid dynamics, materials science, and computer engineering to push the boundaries of what is possible in flight and space travel.
