Question
I am completing a report on Aeronautical Engineering and would like to know what exactly aeronautical engineers do, the areas of expertise, what and where an aeronautical engineer might fond work. Thank you for your time.
Sorry Tova
I have been away from my computer. Aero engineers do research and development of aerospace vehicles and components. They are experts in aerodynamics, mathematics, physics, computer technology, and more. They might find work at a large aerospace company such as Boeing or a smaller company such as Rutan.

| Comment | Thanks heaps for the advice... The part about the library came as soon as my mum pulled a book outta nowhere that explained the mechanics stuff in MY language!!! My problem didn't lay in the maths being brushed over but rather the language and layout of the text books for me. However I'm back on the road to recovery, and no worries, you weren't doing my homework for me!!! :) Just helping me study for an exam. Thanks alot... And while I can't hire a tutor I'll follow your advice about finding a college (Uni over here) student to help me. Thanks!!! LOVE KIRSTY!!! xxx ooo PS... Keep an eye out for me... one day I'll be engineering V8 supercars and NASCARS for Ford!!! xxx ooo | ||
