Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft.

It has two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering.

Avionics engineering is similar, but deals with the electrical side of aerospace engineering.

Aviation is the practical aspect or art of aeronautics, being the design, development, production, operation and use of aircraft, especially heavier than air aircraft.

The word aviation was coined by French writer and former naval officer Gabriel La Landelle in 1863, from the verb avier (synonymous flying), itself derived from the Latin word avis ("bird") and the suffix -ation.
