I’m horrible at math but if I have to I will learn what I have to. I want to fly helicopters for either the army or air force and was told they are mainly looking for someone with tech degrees. If there is any more you can think of please say.
* Aeronautical Engineering
* Aerospace Engineering
* Architectural Engineering
* Architecture
* Astronautical Engineering
* Chemistry
* Civil Engineering
* Computer Engineering
* Computer Science
* Electrical Engineering
* Environmental Engineering
* Mathematics
* Mechanical Engineering
* Meteorology/Atmospheric Sciences
* Operations Research
* Physics
most of those degrees you asked about are highly dependent on mathematics. So if you don’t like math you probably should steer away. I’m majoring in aerospace engineering. We are more involved in the process of making, designing, and improving aero-vehicles such as planes, helicopters, and even space rocket, but not into flying them ourselves.
To answer your question, and I may be wrong, but I think the army or air force may just need a technical degree in aviation. It’s usually a two year program. A little math but nothing drastic. Most pilots only require certification from a two year program. However, I hear that field is very competitive, but if you’re willing to jump through hoops (or in this fly through hoops) you should be able to accomplish your goals. Good luck to you.

Three things: 1–You don’t need a degree to fly helicopters in the Army. 2–In the Air Force, your grades will be far more important than your major. 3–Another degree for your list: Space Operations.

None of those degrees are easy. At my university, the kids with the highest SAT scores are majoring in physics, then engineering. The easiest of the ones you listed is probably meteorology – atmospheric sciences is usually part of the physics department. If you’re horrible at math, you aren’t going to be able to get any of these degrees. They will almost all require math beyond calculus.
I am joining the Air Force and want to know the in site on a couple of jobs that I have picked and what people think about them. Stuff like is it a long deploy time and is it a good job to have,Good career when you get out,Did you actually enjoy doing it? This is the list of jobs that I have chose just want to hear peoples experience that have been in for them:
1C631-SPACE SYSTEM OPERATIONS
2A532-HELICOPTER MAINTENANCE
2A631-AEROSPACE PROPULSION
2A632-AEROSPACE GROUND EQUIPMENT
2A633-AIRCREW EGRESS SYSTEMS
2A733-AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL MAINENANCE
2R131-MAINTENANCE SCHEDULING
2T335-VEHICLE BODY MAINTENANCE
2W031-MUNITION SYSTEMS
I basically want something to do with mechanics something to work with my hands if anyone else has worked with anything to do with mechanics what was the job code and what exactly did you do? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time.
AGE – you’re not going to get any hands on aircraft experience. It’s dealing with the ground equipment that the maintainers use in working on the aircraft.
MX scheduling – again, not hands on.
There is also fuel cell, pneudralics, and electro envilronmental. Most of your MX jobs will give you plenty of hands on. Some are very airframe specific, some are general. Ex… Jets. If you are a heavies jet person, you’ll only work heavies. If you are a fighter jet… you’ll only work fighters. Then you have fuel cell and structural, which are open to any airframe. As a result, you can go to any base that has aircraft.
We’ve had friends that were plane specific, where hubby was not. They tended to stay put longer and had fewer options on locations. Hubby, on the other hand, has worked on 11 different aircraft and we have no restrictions.
MX is a great area, but lots of work, lots of hours, shift work and weekend duty. But, MXers are great guys and the families always take care of each other.
I’m a high school senior right now. I’m going to University of California- Irvine next year and I plan to major in either aerospace or mechanical engineer. I have a real fascination for aircrafts especially military aircrafts, and I want to pursue a career in it. I originally wanted to join the ROTC so I can get some management experience but I don’t think the army is offering anything that I want to do. I’ve also looked at the AFROTC and I’ve seen similar careers but I don’t know if they are what I’m looking for. Do I have to join a military branch to work on military planes?
Thanks
try the AIR FORCE
I do not want to do desk work, I like working with my hands and problem solving, I like being outside, I hate cold weather, I dont want to go home smelling like grease or oil although I do enjoy mechanics. Please tell me your point of view on the job you suggest
If I dont make a career out of the military I did want to be an officer
I was looking into Airborn linguist, Helicopter Maintenance, Security Forces, Airborne Battle Management, Aerospace Propulsion
If you don’t want to smell like grease and oil and you don’t like the cold, I don’t suggest maintenance. If you like being outside, then I would suggest Security Forces, but as it was said above, there is a chance that you could be stationed in one of the northern bases. Being an airborne linguist is a very difficult job to qualify for, and the training has a 70% washout rate. Not to mention once you do make it through, you would be sitting at a desk most of the time. Airborne Battle Management (My job) isn’t as difficult, but once training is over you’ll be doing a desk job on the days you don’t fly.
Hope this helps.
I go in to the usaf feb 9th of this year as open mech and im a bit worried i have heard good and bad things about it
what i am asking is that i have a score of M51 in the section overal 52 G55 i really need the AF to work out for me and i was wondering the chances of getting one of these jobs i want to work on air craft nothing else none of those other things in MECH it has to be on air craft
Tacical Aircraft Maintenance
Aerospace Maintenance
Helicopter Maintenance
Aerospace Propulsion
Aircraft Fuel Systems
Aircraft Metals Technology

Hey there, I’m a junior in high school and I’m currently studying in the field of Engineering and I’ve been trying to explore all the types of Engineering careers. So far I’ve been leaning towards Architectural Engineering but I wanted to see about Aerospace Engineering. I know it deals with aircraft’s and space technology but what exactly do they do? I’ve always been a fan of space and aircraft’s and such but I wanted to see if this career is what builds rockets or missiles or if it simply deals with airplanes and helicopters. Any information about this would be very helpful. Thank you.
Good question!
I recently graduated with a BS in aerospace engineering. The coursework is very similar to that of mechanical engineering, but includes classes that focus on aerospace structures, stability and control, propulsion, aircraft and spacecraft design, etc.
Realistically, aerospace engineers can work on just about any type of engineering project, but they are especially well suited for work on cars, engines, airplanes, missiles, satellites, ships, etc. In my case, I now work as a systems engineer on satellite ground stations. My work has no direct connection to the aerospace discipline but I am still very able to perform my duties.
Hope that helps! I know I found the major to be very enjoyable even if it is a lot of work!
