Aerospace engineering and aeronautical engineering are very similar disciplines. Both areas of Engineering study flight stability, aerodynamics and aircraft control, as well as traditional engineering issues.

The difference between Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering:

Aerospace Engineering involves design and manufacturing of hi-tech systems, hence the engineer requires possessing manual, technical and mechanical ability.This discipline specializes in designing, construction, development, testing and maintenance of commercial and military aircrafts and spacecraft.

Aeronautical Engineering is a part of Aerospace Engineering.It is the science of operating the aircraft and related technology. The branch deals with motion of air and the technique in which it relates with objects in motion.

Good Luck!
