Aeronautical Engineering is the branch of engineering focused on designing, developing, testing, and maintaining aircraft that operate within Earth’s atmosphere. It includes commercial jets, military aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
It is distinct from Aerospace Engineering, which additionally covers spacecraft, rockets, and satellites. If your interest is in aviation, airlines, defence aviation, or aircraft manufacturing, Aeronautical Engineering is the more focused path.
