Question
helo.i m a student frm bangladesh.i would like to know the diffrence between aerospace eng and aeronautical eng.
thank you,
bappy
There is very little difference. Aeronautical Engineering deals with flight in air. Aerospace Engineering deals with flight in air and space. The subjects studies in school are very similar for the two disciplines. Most engineering schools offer Aerospace Engineering even though the vast majority of subjects relate to aeronautics. It just sounds better to the administration.
