Question
i hav finished my 12th grade.may i know what is the scope for aeronautics ,mainly for girls.

Answer
Your information does not say where you live. From your name, it appears you might be in India. I understand that you are interested in aeronautical engineering. In checking an answer by another expert to a similar question, I find the following list of aeronautical engineering schools in India. If you live in the United States, that will follow this list.

Whether in the US or India, I believe that the opportunities in engineering are the same for girls or for boys. Aviation will always need new engineers to design the next generation of aircraft. I have met one woman engineer who works for Boeing on the 787 airliner. She is also a qualified airline pilot and military pilot of the C-17 transport. If you are truly interested in becoming an angineer, find a good school, learn the admission requirements and start your studies. It will be hard work but the result will be something that will give you a challenge and interest for many years.

In the United States, there are excellent aeronautical engineering schools in every state. Do an internet search, as a start. Two excellent examples of schools with aviation programs are the university of North Dakota and the two Embry-Riddle schoolls. One is in Florida and the other is in Arizona.

I wish you good fortune in finding a program that gives you the opportunity to meet your goals.

Expertise

Questions about the Douglas C-133 Cargomaster, its history, operations and technical information. I wrote and published the definitive history of the C-133, Remembering an Unsung Giant: The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster and Its People. Someone has done a good job of extracting material from my book for the article about the C-133 on AllExperts. I AM NOT an expert on educational opportunities in India or other countries and request that such questions be directed elsewhere. I will not answer such questions because I do not have the knowledge to do so adequately.

Experience

I accrued 1,837 hours as a C-133 navigator out of a total of 6,738 flying hours in the USAF. Twelve years of that time were as a crew member, the other years were in various training assignments and as a USAF intelligence officer. My flying experience includes time in the B-52H, C-141, C-133, AC-130, C-130 and the C-5A. I have considerable knowledge in general aviatio history.
