* '''[[Propulsion]]:''' is the study of how to design an engine that will provide the thrust that is needed for a plane to take off and fly through the air. The engine provides the power for the airplane. The study of propulsion is what leads the 
the engineers to determine the right kind of engine and the right amount of power that a plane will need
* '''[[Materials science|Materials]] and [[Structure]]<nowiki/>s:''' is the study of what materials are to be used on the plane and in the engine and how those materials make the plane strong enough to fly effectively. The choice of materials that are used to make the fuselage wings, tail and engine will affect the strength and stability of the plane. Many airplane materials are now ma(contracted; show full) [[Naval engineering]] is an [[engineering]] discipline dealing with the design, construction, maintenance and operation of marine vessels and structures.<ref>[http://www.rina.org.uk/careers_in_naval_architecture.html RINA – Careers in Naval Architecture]</ref><ref>Biran, Adrian; (2003).
