Syllabus for Aeronautical Engineering

Aeronautical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering is one of the most challenging fields of engineering with lots of scope for the growth. Aeronautical Engineering field deals with the development of new technology in the field of aviation, space exploration and defence systems. This is specializes in the designing, construction, development, testing, operation and maintenance of both commercial and military aircraft, spacecrafts and their components as well as satellites and missiles.

For the I and II Semester syllabus is common for all branches. The following syllabus for the Aeronautical Engineering is according to the Anna University.
