- 1. Aerospace engineering is the field of engineering focused on the development and design of aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and related systems. It combines elements of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to create vehicles that can navigate through air and space. Aerospace engineers work on a wide range of projects, from designing new aircraft to optimizing existing systems for improved performance and efficiency. They are also involved in research and development of new technologies to push the boundaries of what is possible in flight and space exploration.
