Whats the difference between aeronautical and air-transport engineering?
Aeronautical deals with the airplane or the flying machine, while Air Transport subjects are: 1. Airport types, construction, operations and management. 2. Air traffic managmenet (spoke and hub network system), cargo versus people 3. Low cost airline versus full service airlines 4. Air transport policy and regulations 5. Airline management and operations 6. Environmental Issues (air polution and noise abatement) 7. Airport and airplane security systems and issues 8. Air to ground radar and communications systems So Aeronautical will wind up working at a job that makes airplanes while Air Transport will be at a job that buys the airplanes and operates them.
