AEROSPACE ENGINEERING IN INDIA

With Mars Orbiter having created history by vaulting india into the elite club of outer space nations , the demand for aerospace engineers is likely to zoom in the near future.

Mars Orbiter, India's first interplanetary mission engineered by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has created comprising the US , Russia and China. 

With several deep space missions in the offing , the demand for aerospace engineers is likely to double Within the next five years" says Dr N.G.R Iyengar , pro vice chancellor of Jain University and Director of the International Institute of Aerospace Engineering and Management (IIAEM) , Bangalore.

Aerospace engineering field india is a science which focuses on research , design, development, construction, testing, science and technology of aircraft and spacecraft.It is further divided into aeronautical and astronautical engineering.

 The former deals with aircraft operating in the Earth's atmosphere and the latter with aircraft venturing into the outer space.

To qualify as an aerospace engineering field india, aspirants should be well versed with the basic principles of aerodynamics, aerospace structures, flight mechanics and the control, propulsion, avionics, meteorology, airworthiness regulation and air traffic control and management.
