What Is Aeronautics? Aeronautics is the science that underlies the study, design, and manufacture of airplanes or other aviation vehicles. Aeronautics also includes research into methods for aircraft operation within the earth's atmosphere. Aeronautical engineers apply principles and concepts of engineering to create new aircraft containing the most current and sophisticated technologies.
A significant part of aeronautical science is a branch of dynamics called aerodynamics, which deals with the motion of air and the way that it interacts with objects in motion, such as an aircraft.
