Aeronautical engineering is a branch of aerospace engineering, though some people use the two terms interchangeably. The field encompasses aircraft design, and the management of the physical forces that act on aircraft. These primarily include the sciences of propulsion and aerodynamics. Many would also consider that aeronautical engineering covers the development and selection of materials and equipment that are utilized on aircraft. In short, it is a broad field that intersects with many other disciplines.
