Hello Mukesh,

Broadly Aeronautical Engineering can be classified into 4 specializations -

Aerodynamics - This deals with the basic property of flight, the science you must know if you want a body to be aerodynamically significant

Propulsion - This involves the propulsion systems of an array of aircraft and rockets. It deals with chemical science and the physical structure of the propulsive components in the aircraft.

Avionics - This deals with electrical systems and electronic systems on board the aircraft. From pilot display to navigation systems, everything comes under this specialization.

Structures -This deals with the structural perspective of an aircraft body. Weight, strength, density, corrosive resistance, tensile strength all play a major role here.

Although the 4 are specializations there are a variety of classifications as well. 

Good luck!
