The two types of aerospace engineers include aeronautical engineers (They work with aircraft that stay within the earth's atmosphere such as airplanes and helicopters.) and astronautical engineers (They work with aircraft that operate outside of the earth's atmosphere such as rockets, satellites, and other and spacecraft.) A degree in aerospace engineering should cover them both. As for the future, it is hard to say. According to theUS Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment for aerospace engineers is expected to grow about 5% from 2020 to 2022 which is a little slower than average.

Thank you :)

Hi Kavya.
Greetings.

Aerospace engineers and aeronautical engineers share a lot of common duties. The main difference between these two professions is that aeronautical engineering is a specialization within aerospace engineering. Workers in aeronautical engineering often work exclusively with aircraft, while aerospace engineers may also work with weapons or spacecraft; and typically earn a higher salary than aeronautical engineers.

I hope this helps. All the best.
