Question
Hi. What qualifications are needed to become a Aeronautical engineer in the UK or US for that matter?
In the U.S. you need at least a Bachelor of Science degree from an engineering school. Preferably the degree would be in aeronautical engineering, but might be in mechanical engineering, physics or some equivalent major. Higher degrees are desirable.
