Aeronautical engineering refers to the field of engineering that involves designing, building, and maintaining various aircrafts, such as airplanes and spacecrafts. It focuses on studying principles of flight, materials used in aircraft construction, and managing the mechanics of flight systems to ensure safe and efficient travel through the air.
Full definition
After picking up a degree
in aeronautical engineering from California Polytechnic in 1965, he took a job as a test engineer at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave.
He put to good use the studies
of aeronautical engineering from school and is unanimously regarded as a master of aerodynamic design — remember, there were no computerized simulations in the late 1960s and wind tunnels for automobiles were in their early, experimental days.

However, due to the invention of cars and more frequent travel, the outward facing umbrella stroller invented in 1965 by
aeronautical engineer Owen Maclaren quickly became popular.
Named in honor of civil rights activist Diane Nash, the initiative has expanded in scope and is now slated to include an interactive website as well as a Kickstarter - funded video spotlighting unsung black tech pioneers such as Evelyn Granville, a longtime IBM programmer and one of the first black women to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics, and Christine Darden, a retired
NASA aeronautical engineer.

British aeronautical engineer Owen Maclaren was inspired by the birth of his granddaughter in 1965 when he saw his daughter struggling with her hefty pram.
His findings have the potential to
revolutionise aeronautical engineering, especially in the development of micro air vehicles, small 15 - cm machines that are used for reconnaissance and need to be highly manoeuverable.
