Chemistry SL or Design and technology SL?

Hi,
I am trying to decide the subjects I will take next year in DP, and I have decided on English A lang and literature SL, Spanish B SL, Economics HL, Physics HL, Maths Analysis and Approaches HL and now I need to decide the 6th option.
Since I want to do aerospace engineering what would you think is best for me Chemistry SL or Design and tech SL??

Chemistry is more useful and relevant, as having a stronger scientific background is more helpful than some token "design" background, which will be totally different to the kind of engineering design you would do on such a degree. That said, it's not a critical matter either way so, if you strongly prefer DT or think you'll do much better in it, by all means choose that option.
