Humans only learned to fly about 100 years ago. Since then we have been refining the science and always will. Those who are at the forefront of aviation can look forward to being at the vanguard of the 21st century. The best aeronautics and aviation programs will most likely have strong co-op or internship opportunities where you can learn hands on everyday. As more people take to the sky in private aircraft, learning about the business and complex logistics of aviation is as important as learning to fly or fix the aircraft.
