Re: Difference between Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering?

Aeronautical engineering focuses on
flying in Earth's atmosphere while
aerospace deals with objects outside
Earth's atmosphere.
aerospace engineering deals with
objects inside and outside of earths
atmosphere while aeronautical
engineering is a more specialized field
with aerospace engineering that
focuses more on objects inside earths
atmosphere. astronautical engineering
deals with objects outside earths
atmosphere and is another specialized
field under aerospace engineering.

Re: Difference between Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering?

Aeronautical Engineering is a branch of science which deals with air craft designing, space craft with in Earth's atmosphere.
It deals with the flying air crafts.
It is a sub branch of Aerospace Engineering.

As compared to Aeronautical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering is a vast course.
Aeronautical Engineering is only related to designing of air craft while Aerospace Engineering deals with study of space crafts with are used with in & outside the atmosphere of earth.

Aerospace Engineering deals with study of satellites, pace stations, missiles, rockets etc.
As compared to aeronautical engineering , aerospace engineering has much more scope in future.
Candidates who have done Aerospace Engineering can get job in NASA / ISRO.

Re: Difference between Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering?

Basically, Aeronautics deals with aircrafts, which can fly at a height of about 35,000 feet. Aerospace deals with objects and principle for even higher heights. Examples are rockets, missiles, etc. The environment beyond 35,000 ft is much different. Rocket launch, injecting into orbit, orbit manouvre, reentry, etc. are complicated tasks.

Difference between Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering


Aeronautical Engineering is an engineering area that covers research, design, manufacture and maintenance of products such as aircraft, missiles and space satellites. It involves scientific topics of Aerodynamics, Heat Transfer, Materials, Technology, Fluid Mechanics and Aircraft Structures.


Aerospace Engineering is the branch of engineering behind the design, construction and science of aircraft and spacecraft. Aerospace engineering has broken into two major branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautically engineering. The former deals with craft that stay within Earth's atmosphere, and the latter deals with craft that operate outside of Earth's atmosphere.

  • Some of colleges in India running aeronautical Engg in name of Aerospace Engg. but in Aerospace Engg ... there are mixed topics of space technologies & Aeronautics (Means Aeronautics & Astronautics).. in case of Aeronautical Engg. we study only atmospheric flying objects like- Aeroplane, helicopter.

Re: Difference between Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering?

Hi, there is no such difference....

The job areas, career prospects are all same in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering.
Some colleges offers Aeronautical Engineering, some offers Aerospace whereas some offers both.

Its up to you to choose which one is for you.

Aeronautical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering degree courses are designed for study in one of the most technologically advanced branches of engineering.

The Bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical or aerospace Engineering provides versatile training to students in areas like designing, manufacturing and development of aircraft, missiles and spaceships.

They can also design, develop and test new and advanced technologies in the field of defence and space sciences.

The core areas of specialization for a team of these engineers include aerodynamics, thermodynamics, celestial mechanics, control systems, propulsion and electronics.

The subjects which you have to learn in both the streams are:

Aerodynamics
Aircraft General Engineering and Maintenance Practices
Aircraft Rules and Regulation
Aircraft Structures
Aircraft Systems and Instrumentation
Airframe Maintenance and Repair
Aero Engine Maintenance and Repair
Aero Engineering Thermodynamics
Air Traffic Control and Aerodrome Design
Air Transportation and Aircraft Maintenance
Avionics
Computational Fluid Dynamics
Composite Materials and Structures
Computer Integrated Manufacturing
CAD/CAM Lab
Control Engineering
Design and Drafting
Elements of Aeronautics
Fatigue and Fracture
Flight Dynamics
Fluid Mechanics and Machinery
Heat Transfer
High Temperature Materials
Helicopter Maintenance
Mechanics of Machines
Microprocessor and Applications
Production Technology
Principles of Management
Propulsion
Solid Mechanics
Rocket and Missiles
Space Mechanics
Strength of Materials Lab
Theory of Plates and Shells
Theory of Elasticity
Thermodynamics Lab
Total Quality Management
Vibration and Aero elasticity
Wind Tunnel Techniques

BASIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AEROSPACE AND AERONAUTIC ENGINEERING

Aerospace engineer who work with aircrafts are called aeronautic engineers and those working specifically with spacecraft are called aerospace engineers.

Aerospace engineer can design develop and test aircraft, space craft and missile and supervise their manufacture.


To qualify as an aeronautical engineer you need a BE/BTech degree in aeronautical engineering.
