Aeronautics

eronautics is the science of building and flying aircraft. The term covers scientific study, design, and technology. It also includes the manufacture and operation of all types of aircraft, both lighter than air (such as airships) and heavier than air (such as airplanes).
Aeronautics involves a great variety of scientific and engineering disciplines. Aerodynamics and propulsion are important in aeronautics. So are materials, structures, control systems, and computing.
