⇑Definitions and quotes

Aeronautics
Aeronautics (from the ancient Greek words ὰήρ āēr, which means "air", and ναυτική nautikē which means "navigation", i.e. "navigation into the air") is the science or art involved with the study, design, and manufacturing of air flight capable machines, and the techniques of operating aircraft and rockets within the atmosphere. The British Royal Aeronautical Society identifies the aspects of "aeronautical Art, Science and Engineering" and "the profession of Aeronautics (which expression includes Astronautics)."
Astronautics
Astronautics (or cosmonautics) is the theory and practice of navigation beyond Earth's atmosphere.

He rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
Psalms, XVIII. 10.
Aeronautics
Darius was clearly of the opinion
That the air is also man's dominion
And that with paddle or fin or pinion,
We soon or late shall navigate
The azure as now we sail the sea.
John Townsend Trowbridge, Darius Green and his Flying Machine (1867).
Aeronautics
Let brisker youths their active nerves prepare
Fit their light silken wings and skim the buxom air.
Richard Owen Cambridge, in the Scriblerad (1751).
