Aerospace Engineer
Manufacturing of aircrafts for commercial or military use is a highly technical field. Tremendous amount of Research and Development function precedes production of an aircraft. Space research and study has offered challenges and have continued to intrigue students to pursue relevant branches of engineering and other related subjects. Aerospace engineering is the study of the complexities of materials and structures put to use under atmospheric stress. The Research & Development department of an aircraft manufacturer includes a variety of highly trained engineers, scientists and technicians specializing in areas such as aerospace, aeronautics, electronics, computer science, robotics, bio medicine, acoustics, chemistry, physics and meteorology. Manufacturers of parachutes, skydiving equipments are others who fall in the manufacturing segment.
Salary: 1.4 Lakh to 14.85 Lakhs per annum
Std XII Stream : Science
Mandatory Subject: Physics
Academic Difficulty: High
Job Profile
Aerospace engineering encompasses the fields of aeronautical and astronautical (spacecraft) engineering.
Aerospace engineers work as a team in designing, assembling and testing air crafts and space crafts. Aerospace engineers may be required to work on the designing of complete air crafts or may specialise in special areas of the industry such as missile guidance systems, propulsion, and guidance control systems.
Aeronautical engineers work specifically with aircraft systems while astronautical engineers specialise in space craft systems.
Aerospace engineers learn and apply the knowledge of aerodynamics, propulsion, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, flight mechanics, and structural analysis.
They are also involved in cost analysis, operations research and may be required to update their work through research, conduct reliability studies, and assess maintenance functions.
Aerospace engineers who work on the designing of space crafts work with numerical and technical details using theoretical engineering principles with engineers who are experts in aerodynamics, astrodynamics and structural engineering.
They study the impact of atmospheric stress and how loads and weights behave under different atmospheric conditions.
Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineers (CFD) use sophisticated high speed computers to develop models used in the study of fluid dynamics. They use simulations to study the behavior of elements around objects.
Manufacturing involves the development of individual components for aircraft and spacecraft manufacture and this involves coordination with the design team.
Aerospace engineers (materials) assess the materials used for manufacture of aircrafts /spacecrafts.
Quality control assessments are carried out by engineers.
Marketing and sales function is also carried out by aerospace engineers. There job entails liaison work with the technical team and clients for ensuring production specifications as well as ensuring that the product performs as planned.
Skills required
Above average intelligence
Excellent academic background
Responsible attitude
Ability to put in long work hours and days at crucial assignments
Good analytical ability
Scientific acumen
Physical stamina
Ability to undertake challenging assignments
Employment Opportunities
Aircraft manufacturers, defence services, government research organisations, manufacturers of equipment used by space scientists, skydiving equipment and parachute manufacturers etc.

How to get there?
Path 1:
Class XII
Stream: Science (PCM)

Goal
Aerospace Engineer
Aerospace science draws people with backgrounds in physics, mathematics, earth sciences, aerodynamics and biological sciences. Aerospace engineers, however, have a background in mechanical/electrical/mechanical engineering.
Aerospace engineering requires, at the Class XII level, a good performance in Mathematics, Physics, English and proficiency in Mechanical Drawing and Computers. This must be followed by a degree in Aeronautical engineering /Aerospace engineering. In India, people entering manufacturing sector (Hindustan Aeronautical Ltd and National Aeronautical Ltd) are postgraduates in the areas relevant to the manufacturing industry.
NASA recommends a degree in a variety of disciplines, including biomedical engineering, ceramic engineering, chemistry, industrial engineering, materials engineering, metallurgy, optical engineering, and oceanography. Aerospace engineers generally specialise at the master's level in these areas and also do a PhD before being taken in by NASA.
