Aeronautical Engineering vs Aerospace Engineering

Can I have a brief explanation as to what aeronautical engineering is? Is aerospace engineering same as aeronautical engineering?

Aeronautical engineering is a very important branch of engineering which basically deals with research design, development, construction and most importantly science and technology of aircraft and spacecraft. It’s basically a study of designs and constructions based on the physical properties of aircraft and spacecraft. It also covers their aerodynamic behaviour, control and other properties. It is often referred to as “aerospace engineering”. It is one of the best and exciting technical fields today. Anything that is related to aircraft and its dynamics is considered and studied under aeronautical engineering. To simplify it further we can say that aeronautical engineering involves the development and manufacture of the flight vehicle that will be sent to space which might differ in complexity.

Aeronautical engineering is same as aerospace engineering. Aeronautical engineering is the original word used for the field but recently aerospace engineering has replaced it in common usage as it covers the outer space.
