    They are the same, just different terminology/pronunciation.
    Some say the proper term is Aeroplane (aeronautical) the modernized term is airplane (since it flies through the air).

    None, its use depends on what side of the "pond" you are on.

    Aeroplane is what we call the 'King's English' version of the same word, airplane. Airplane is the westernised current day version of aeroplane.

    There is no difference or similarity in both the words, they are same and mean the same.
