| | | | Aerospace Engineering and Technology is the study of planning, designing, developing and producing aircraft structures and systems. It also involves assembling, maintaining and repairing airframes, engines, electrical and mechanical instruments, and related aircraft systems. Skills learned include: designing aircraft, aircraft components and support equipment, evaluating test flights to analyse performance and compliance with specifications and safety standards, authorising modifications, repairs and maintenance, conducting diagnostic tests to determine the nature of malfunctions, testing, maintaining and servicing aircraft engines, airframe components and systems, repairing and replacing defective parts and components. The main purpose of this field of study is to develop an understanding of the research, design, development, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance and management of air and spacecraft. It also involves developing an understanding of the structural aspects of airframes, aircraft controls and flight stability, and aircraft capability and safety under operational conditions.
