Question
Respected Sir,

I have finished my High School (12th grade) in Inida and I would like to know which course would be better among the two with regard to research and job prospects and also the basic difference between Aerospace and Aeronautics.

Thanking you
Yours faithfully
Surag

Answer
Hi Surag,

I would say that the future is more promising for aerospace than aeronautics.  Aeronautics implies atmospheric flight, whereas aerospace implies inclusion of space flight.  At the present time, more advances are needed and more plans are being made regarding space flight.

Thanx,
mj
