Question Dear Sir,
I am a Civil Engineering graduate and presently working as a software programmer for a CAD software. I am very much interested in Aeronautics and I am interested in going for my masters degree in Aeronautical engineering. I am basically interested in Aeroframe design and also work in experiments with aircraft models in the wind tunnels. I am also an avid aeromodeller and I make static scaled down models as well as flying models. Presently I am preparing for my GRE test. Can you kindly let me know some good US universities where I can study Aeronautical Engineering at the masters level and also where I have a good chance of geting enough financial assistance.
Thanking you.
Regards

Answer Raj
I have no idea about financial assistance, but there are many good Aero Engineering schools such as:
U. of Washington (Seattle)
Stanford U.
Cal Tech
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
Penn State
Princeton
MIT
Georgia Tech
Virginia Tech
U. of Michigan
UCLA
Iowa State
Purdue
Notre Dame
Texas A&M
and probably many more I have fogotten. Good luck.
Aeronautics, Fluid Mechanics, Aeroacoustics, Noise Control, Muffler Design, Wind Tunnel Research.... I know nothing about India - do not ask about schools, jobs, application requirements, career choices, etc. for India. Please, no text message verbiage; I prefer full words in full sentences. Thanks.
