What's the difference between aeronautics and astronautics?
Aeronautics
Definition:
(n.) The science or art of ascending and sailing in the air, as by means of a balloon; aerial navigation; ballooning.
Example Sentences:
(1) Twenty-one subjects flew aboard a KC-135 aircraft operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) which performed parabolic maneuvers resulting in periods of 0-g, 1-g, and 1.8-g. Each subject flew once with a tablet containing scopolamine and once with a placebo in a random order, crossover design.
(2) Multispectral techniques originally developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for satellite image analysis were used in sequence selection, image data correction, image standardization, and image interpretation.
(3) The second "aggregation of red cells" experiment that was performed on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's space-shuttle Discovery's flight STS 26 confirms the results that were obtained in 1985; however, some new features have come to light, in particular, the observation of a clot or thrombus which, so far, remains unexplained.
(4) But it is equally notable that this was the first instance in the age of powered flight where there was an active collaboration between the scientists and engineers, a rather curious circumstance in view of the fact that the achievement of altitude record-setting balloon flights in the nineteenth century had owed a great deal to an interconnection of aeronauts and scientists' laboratories.
(5) Minimal changes were found on the Farnsworth D-15 test, aeronautical chart color identification task, visual acuity, phoria, and stereoscopic depth perception.
(6) They are: 1. medical evaluation of iarcrews; 2. aeronautical innovations which tailor the machine to the man; 3. imporvement of precision navigational air traffic control and flight procedures; 4. standardization of flight training and flight procedures.
(7) Because the data base on loss of RCM is insufficient for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's space medical responsibilities, the Life Sciences Research Office ad hoc Working Group on Space Anemia suggested research approaches ranging form fundamental topics such as utilization of erythropoietin and oxygen in target organs and cell-cell interactions, through possible splenic and vascular dysfunctions, metabolic disturbances, and inhibitors of erythropoiesis, to methodology and models.
(8) We investigated the cardiotoxic effects of 1,1,2-Trichloro-1,2,2- Trifluoroethane (fluorocarbon 113 or FC113) exposures among healthy workers cleaning rocket and ground support equipment for the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) programs.
(9) Statistics regarding ranks, age groups, and aeronautical ratings are presented.

(11) Unlike the supremely adapted swallow aeronauts that skimmed the grass in the pastures and would shortly be migrating, the redstart merely flitted between perches on broad wings that seem better suited to following the erratic flight of an insect than to long-distance travel.
(12) The new drone contract is with the California-based drone company General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, and is intended to develop better imaging and also improve data links for the Protector.
(13) Smart students get sponsored Facebook Twitter Pinterest Budding aeronautical engineers get sponsored degrees With the cost of going to university a big concern, applicants should explore their options for sponsored degrees.
(14) This study determined the ability of 12 presbyopic subjects to read numerals from aeronautical approach procedure charts.
(15) Booz Allen has also admitted to overbilling the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) "employees at higher job categories than would have been justified by their experience, inflating their monthly hours and submitting excessive billing at their off-site rate."
(16) The recorders, now nearly 60 years old, were originally invented by Australian aeronautical scientist Dr David Warren .
(17) Lastly, mention is made of technical products required by the aeronautical regulations, the dangers associated with them, and the preventive measures required.
(18) To elucidate the effect of normal gravitation on the shape of the maximum expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curve, we studied nine normal subjects in a National Aeronautics and Space Administration microgravity research aircraft.
(19) An alarm algorithm was developed to monitor the ventilator on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration space station.
