Question
i am going to go to grade 11 and wanted to decide my subjects. i just wanted to know if i needed chemisrty for aeronautical engineering?

Answer
Yes - Unless they have changed the rules since I was in college 45 years ago, all engineering students have to take some chemistry.  You can check for sure by examining the curriculum at whatever engineering school you might be interested in.  I assume most schools have that information on line.
