Question
Sir,
         I want to know more on the aeronautical engineering studies.
What are the further study options after completing the B.E..  
Which are the companies recruiting the B.E holders.
What is the range of salary & scope for  this job in different countries.
What are the types of work that an aero engineer has to do.
                            
                   Expecting an early reply....
                      Yours Sincerely,

Answer
Justin

In the US, the first degree is the B.S. in engineering, but the M.S. is highly recommended and takes another year or so of study.  Of course, some go on for the PhD.  All aerospace companies recruit aero engineers.  Salaries are good, but I am no longer familiar with starting salaries.  Check the website of Boeing for salaries and security requirements.  Citizenship may be required in many departments because of the military work.

Aero engineers do all nature of work related to design and testing of aircraft:  aerodynamic analysis, design, computer program development, structural analysis, wind tunnel testing, aeroacoustic analysis, vibrations, electronics, flight control, etc.
