what are the difference between aeronautical and aerospace engineering?

Dear Student,

• so by definition Aeronautical Engineering, is a branch of engineering where where students are taught and made to study the designing and building of aircrafts and helicopters. Aeronautical engineering is a field of aerospace engineering.
• Aerospace engineering is a branch of engineering where students are taught about the professionals design, building, testing and maintenance of civil aircraft, missiles, space shuttles, rockets, space stations and other such units.
• Some of the subjects in Aeronautical Engineering are :-
  • Thermodynamics
  • Heat Transfer
  • Aircraft Structures
  • Flight Mechanics
  • Aircraft Stability and Control
• Some of the Subjects of Aerospace Engineering are :-
  • Spacecraft Design
  • Introduction to Astronautics
  • Fundamentals of Jet Propulsion
  • Spacecraft Dynamics
  • Orbital Mechanics
• When it comes to job scopes for aeronautical engineers there is more scope for it abroad than in India. It is also beneficial for aeronautical engineer graduates to pursue their masters in this course as it will give them a better scope in getting a good job
• Whereas for aerospace engineers, they can work with the government or private companies.
• Companies for aeronautical engineers :-
