MEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering

Aeronautical engineering is the application of scientific and technological methods to research, design, develop, maintain, and performance test both civil and military aircraft. As the race to take flight further escalates, now is an exciting time to consider a career in aeronautics.

The MEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering degree is designed to equip you with advanced technical knowledge, skills, and a commitment to the highest professional standards. This pathway includes integrated masters-level modules that provide advanced aerospace assembly and systems design knowledge.

With a focus on your future, you will also build transferable skills and learn about the decision-making methods used by the industry. There is also the option to include an industry placement year, where you can gain additional workplace skills and boost your employability once you graduate.

You will:

• Explore elements of aircraft design, including aircraft structures, flight systems, navigation, aerodynamics, and performance

• Assess aircraft performance by modeling aerodynamic loads and propulsion system performance, leading to critical results in steady and accelerated flight.

• Complete a flight test course using the Cranfield National Flying Laboratory Centre aircraft.

• Choose to take an industry placement year to increase your professional aviation and aeronautics skills.

• Expand your professional knowledge beyond your Bachelor's level with the opportunity to study specialist modules.
