How to say "aerospace" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 航宇こううnounA less common abbreviation of 航空宇宙. It covers the same sense of 'aerospace' — flight and space travel as one field — but in shortened form, so the full term is the more explicit choice.
- 航空宇宙こうくううちゅうnounThe full form of the term, combining the words for aviation and space: it covers aerospace as one field spanning flight in the atmosphere and in space. It too is less common.
Both words cover the same sense of 'aerospace' — flight and space travel treated as one field — so the choice between them is one of form: the full term 航空宇宙 or its abbreviation 航宇, both less common.
