Question
Hi sir. I am currently pursuing my final year BTECH in Mechanical Engineering and will be finishing off by the end of July. I have always had this fantasy towards the aviation industry. I actually wanted to know what an 'MS in Aeronautical Engineering' would actually cover. I actually have no plans of getting a doctrate for now. I aspire to work in a reputed aviation industry. How well would the MS help? (I do personally feel that I am more of an application oriented guy).Do help me make a decision.Thank You so much.

Answer
An MS degree would help you get a job and make more money.  More importantly, you would understand more about your field.  To see what subjects are covered, visit any engineering school website and find the curricula for your department of interest.
