Industry

Aeronautical industry is a leading-edge sector concerned with the design and construction of aircraft. Aerospace engineering is the branch of engineering concerning aircraft, spacecraft and related topics. It is often called aeronautical engineering, particularly when referring solely to aircraft, and astronautical engineering, when referring to spacecraft. This section of your international aviation news magazine presents news from designers and builders of the world's most advanced aircraft and spacecraft for commercial, industrial and military use.
