Aerospace Engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems and equipment. It combines principles of physics, mathematics, and material science to solve complex problems related to flight within and beyond Earth's atmosphere.
Aeronautical Engineering: This deals with aircraft that operate within Earth's atmosphere, such as commercial airplanes, military jets, and helicopters. It includes aerodynamics, propulsion systems, and structural analysis of aircraft.
Astronautical Engineering: This focuses on vehicles and systems that operate in space, including satellites, space shuttles, and spacecraft. It addresses challenges like orbital mechanics, space environment, and advanced propulsion systems.
