What is the difference between aeronautical and aerospace engineering?

Hello Likith, Aeronautical engineering is a part of aerospace engineering. They both are equal in importance so that we can't say which is better. Though both appear to be the same, there is a difference. The two types of aerospace engineers include aeronautical engineers (they work with aircraft that stay within the earth's atmosphere such as aeroplanes and helicopters) and aerospace engineers (they work with the aircraft that operates outside of the earth's atmosphere such as rockets, satellites, and other and spacecraft). A degree in aerospace engineering should cover them both. LPU offers a B.Tech degree in Aerospace Engineering. LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every eligible student of lpu to secure a good placement. Every year more than 550 companies visit lpu for recruitment purpose. Companies which recruit from IIT's and Iims also land at lpu for recruitment purpose. Lpu has made professional enhancement classes as an integral part of the curriculum which helps students in their growth. LPU is also conferred with National Employ ability Award 2020 by Aspiring Minds for the 7th time in a row for having Most Employable Students and being one among the top colleges and universities in India with one of the highest Employ ability rates. In lpu student practice on live models and this programme is designed for learners intend to design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites and missiles. In addition, these engineers test prototypes to make sure that they function according to plans. These professionals also design components and sub-assemblies for these craft like engines, air-frames, wings. DVD.

Hello! Aeronautical engineering is actually a type of aerospace engineering, which is split into two main areas: Aeronautical: Relates to machines that fly within the earths atmosphere, such as planes. Astronautical: Relates to spacecraft such as rockets, space stations and shuttles. My brother has done Aerospace engineering from LPU. Fee per semester is 98,000 INR without scholarship. Aerospace is a specialised branch of engineering which deals with the design and development of aircraft's as well as space crafts The course curriculum covers aspects of two branches of engineering - Aeronautical and Astronautical engineering. The course also focuses on new technologies in aviation, defense systems, and space exploration. Lovely Professional University is the largest and best private university in India. LPU environment is so conducive to learning. It is perpetually ranked as a top private engineering college in India. Life at University isn't just about Studying and Hard Work, its about balance. Highlights/Achievements of Aerospace Engineering at LPU: The students with the guidance of the department and University are very active in the field of automobile research and activities. A student has an Automobile club under Society of Automobiles India, Under which the teams have participated in various competitions by making their vehicle in Supra SAE (Student Formula CAR), Baja SAE India, BAJA SAE USA, Efficycle (LPU Hosted the SAE Efficycle event in Oct-2015. Organized International Go-Kart Championship which is a student-initiated automotive event the first international event of its kind receiving participation from all over ASIA. The Mechanical Department has highly experienced and qualified staff pursuing their research in thrust areas such as CAD/CAM, Mechanical design, Thermal engineering, Fluid dynamics, Manufacturing Engineering, Tool design, and Flexible Manufacturing Systems/Automation. The department has to its credit more than 48 research publications in International, National Journals including prestigious ASME Transactions, International Conference and National Conference. I hope it helps you.

Dear Aspirant, Aeronautical deals with flight in the earth's atmosphere, Astronautical deals with travel in space, and Aerospace covers both realms. Many students in India desire to take up aeronautical and aerospace engineering but with a lack of proper knowledge they land up making a puzzling choice. The field of Aerospace Engineering is a broader and advanced term compared to Aeronautical Engineering. Aerospace engineers develop new technologies for use in aviation, defense systems, and spacecraft. Aerospace engineering focuses on designing both aircraft and spacecraft and it is a study of all the space crafts used within and out of the earths atmosphere while Aeronautical Engineering is the study of aircraft that operates within the earths atmosphere. # Aerospace Engineering is an advanced subject, requires high expertise, and gives more exposure to a flourishing global career. If you pursue a course in aerospace engineering it will enhance your knowledge about both aeronautics and astronautics, you will not only learn about aircraft but also about spacecraft. Moreover, India too is rapidly becoming involved in space research. There is no dearth of opportunities as it is a skill-based field. The one who possesses the dexterity to survive will be paid well. # In India the major set of the employer is from Public Sector namely, HAL, ISRO, ADA, ADE, DRDO, and NAL. There are private companies like Tata Advanced Systems, Taneja Aerospace, Mahindra Aerospace, L&T, Design offices of multinationals like General Electric, Boeing, Airbus, etc. Have emerged out providing significant growth and opportunities to the engineers. Some other Universities Offering B.Tech programme in Aerospace Engineering are- 1) Indian Institute of Space Science & Technology, Kerala. 2) Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. 3) Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. 4) University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun. 5) Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar, Punjab. All are potential Institutes and you can compare them well to take a wise decision. All the best.

Aerospace Engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft. Aerospace Engineering can be divided broadly into two branches - Aeronautical Engineering and Astronautical Engineering While Aeronautical engineers will be more interested in flight within the atmosphere, astronautical engineers are more interested in the flight of a vehicle outside the atmosphere, (although flight within the atmosphere has also to be considered since of course, the vehicle has to pass through it to reach space) and into the infinite horizon of space.
