About this course

Aeronautical engineering is the discipline that makes flight possible. It encompasses the design, analysis, and testing of aircraft and the systems that keep them airborne, drawing on aerodynamics, structural mechanics, propulsion, materials science, and control systems to address some of the most technically demanding challenges in engineering. The field spans civil and military aviation, spacecraft, and increasingly, the emerging technologies of unmanned aerial vehicles and sustainable propulsion that are reshaping what flight will look like in the future. This four-year full-time degree at Loughborough University includes an integrated foundation year, which provides a thorough grounding in the mathematical and scientific principles that underpin engineering study. The foundation year is designed primarily for students who have not studied the prerequisite subjects required for direc
