Overview:
Aerospace engineering is primarily concerned with aircraft, spacecraft, satellites and missiles. Aerospace engineers work with all kinds of aircrafts like gliders and space shuttles. They focus on designing, developing, testing and manufacturing aircrafts. Many engineers specialize in one area, like structural design, navigation systems, or manufacturing techniques. Others choose to specialize in a particular kind of air or space craft.
