[edit] Clean up tasks

This looks like a cross between a disambiguation page, a series of dictionary definitions and a stub. --Theo (Talk) 15:22, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

1. Merge the definitions of 'Aeronautics' into a single statement of the subject. --Theo (Talk) 15:22, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
2. Explain the differences between 'aeronautics', 'astronautics' and 'hydronautics' and the relationship to 'fluid dynamics' with appropriate links. --Theo (Talk) 15:22, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
3. If Aerodynamics and Aeronautics are different things (and I think they are), move the external links about Aerodynamics to Aerodynamics. --Theo (Talk) 15:22, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This page needs more information to be usable since aeronautics is a fairly broad category. It probably should be a stub. Phoenixflight 18:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

1. Give more information on early and modern aeronautics. Phoenixflight 18:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] This page vs Aviation History

I can't help but wonder how much this page will be similar to the one that already exists on aviation history to the point where I have to wonder just how much useful information will be found independently on this page beyond a definition for aeronautics. Any suggestions? Andromeda321 19:34, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Just what I was thinking - I wrote up to Caley's glider before I noticed the Aviation History article. Right now I'm leaning towards a See Aviation History link myself. Feezo 01:15, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

• Exactly... if the aviation history page was lacking in information I'd be tempted to write more on this page, but as that one was a former featured article canidate it seems silly. Andromeda321 01:25, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images available

There are some high quality images that sould be used on this page as it expands, here are some for easy picking :D

• Image:Hotairballooninflation.jpg
• Image:Apollo 15 Space Suit David Scott.jpg
• Image:Crash.arp.600pix.jpg
• Image:F-15 vertical deploy.jpg
• Image:F-16 Fighting Falcons above New York City(2).jpg

I am going to add that last one as the top picture for now anyway. - cohesion★talk 21:02, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Space flight

Aeronautics sometimes refers to flight in space. --Banana04131 01:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe. Though that would typically be called "astronautics". AERO implies atmospheric flight. --ABQCat 01:41, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
