Wikipedia says: (Aeronautics):


 * Aviation is a term sometimes used interchangeably with aeronautics

Even our definitions of aviation and aeronautics look very similar, I can see how they intersect. Despite there being a technical difference, I do not think we should keep them both, it just creates confusion. -- Liliana • 18:54, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Our topic categories are distinct, aeronautics being a "science" subcategory (not that that one could rely on our category structure for much). The real-world usage contexts are different, aeronautics referring to aeronautical engineering, which is not really part of the everyday world of flying and airlines. I don't know of better words for the distinction, whatever the jumble in the topic categories. DCDuring TALK 19:18, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
