Aeronautical Engineering

Aero is something that relates to "air". Nautics means “the art of navigation".

Aeronautics deals with the art of navigation in the air. We can easily relate it to the man's dream to fly, to control his journey through the air. The dream to fly has always been there for a human being. What made it possible through the means of modern science and pure innovative thought was first realized by the Wright brothers, in the recorded history of mankind.

In 1903, Wright brothers demonstrated that humans could indeed fly and that was no dream, it became a reality. In 2013, a century later, when we talk of Aeronautical Engineering we should remember that we stand on shoulders of giants who have helped humans to such advancement as flight through their curiosity, inventions and brilliant brain works.

Aeronautical Engineering has developed into a fully grown branch of engineering. It basically makes use the principles of classical mechanics, mechanical and structural engineering. With incessant necessities for improvements in safety aspects and enhancement in the user experience, the amount of electronics and instrumentation that apply to aeronautical engineering is tremendous.  For example complicated Electrical harnesses and wiring is completely avoided by providing signaling cables in the form of CAN bus (Controller Area Network) and other similar information transfer protocol. Control, Navigation and safety of the flight are completely secured by sophisticated electronics and information technology.

As a result a student of Aeronautical Engineering has a complete picture of his dream and can easily focus on the various contexts of navigation and usages.
