Aeronautics is called a science that is responsible for studying, designing and developing all those tools that have the ability to fly, in addition to this, aeronautics is also responsible for studying the set of rules that allow correct performance when mastering a ship aerial. A science that is closely related to aeronautics is aerodynamics whose main objective is the study of air, its displacement and reaction when an object passes through it, in this case it can be an airplane.
It could be said that this science is somewhat modern when compared to others, but that since its invention it has undoubtedly captured the curiosity of human beings, encouraging them to fulfill one of their greatest wishes, the power to fly, one of the precursors of Aeronautics was the scientist Leonardo Da Vinci, who, observing how birds flew, dedicated himself to creating tools that made it possible for human beings to fly, however it was not until the 17th century that real advances were made in terms of tools effective to fly. By the 20th century, the Wright brothers managed to make history with the creation of the first powered airplane.
At present this science is under the control of large organizations, both governmental and independent, such is the case of NASA, located in the United States is one of the main organizations specialized in aeronautics worldwide, this is the equivalent American of which is the European Space Agency, in these spaces the study of aeronautics is applied to the design, studies and maintenance of all kinds of space equipment.
A sub-branch of this science is aeronautical engineering, which is focused on the research, creation of designs and conservation of satellites, missiles and airplanes, keeping close relationship with other sciences such as aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, aircraft design among others. Thanks to the great advances made in the field space, another science that has been rising is the astronautics or aerospace engineering, focused on everything that has to do with the design and development of all types of space equipment.
