Aeronautics is the science of designing, building, and flying aircraft. It includes the study of aerodynamics, propulsion systems, materials engineering, flight control systems and other related topics. Aeronautics has been around since the invention of the first hot air balloon in 1783. Since then it has grown to include many different types of aircraft including airplanes, helicopters, gliders and even spacecrafts. A complex field that requires knowledge in physics, mathematics and engineering to understand how an aircraft works and how to design one for optimal performance. It also involves understanding weather patterns so pilots can safely fly through various conditions. With advances in technology over time aeronautics continues to evolve with new innovations being made every day that help make air travel safer and more efficient than ever before.
