aerospace technology
Flight beyond atmosphere
Aerospace technology encompasses the science and engineering of flight, both within Earth's atmosphere (aeronautics) and beyond it (astronautics).
The field covers aircraft design, propulsion systems, navigation, materials science, and spacecraft engineering.
Advances in aerospace technology made commercial space travel possible.
The term often appears in contexts of national defense, space exploration, and aviation innovation.
