Aeronautical Eng is heavily theoretical ,stability, computational fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, finite element analysis etc.
Aircraft Eng is more practical based involving various licences which allow certification / repair of various systems eg avionics hydraulics etc in a real time on the line environment.
Or to put it another way Aero Eng is what Manufacturers want. Aircraft Eng is what the Airlines want.
They are definitely not the same. Hope this helps.
