IB choice help for engineering

I would like to study either mechanical or aeronautical engineering in uni UK. My IB choices are
Eng lang and lit SL
Chinese B HL
Maths HL
Physics HL
Chem SL
Econ HL

I choose Econ HL iso Chem HL as I don't quite enjoy Chemistry. Wondering if chem SL would lower my chance into engineering degree. Thx.

Nope, it won't so long as you don't intend on applying for biomedical/chemical engineering. So make the switch if that is what you feel most comfortable doing!
Your subject choices seem pretty good to me (also aspiring to study aeronautics, have already received the Diploma). However, I suggest you drop HL economics for SL since the HL content is primarily really simple math-based *crap*

No need to do 4 HLs, the workload will be crushing even without the fourth
