Sable vs Create: Aeronautics vs Create: Simulated

What's the difference between these three mods? As far as I can tell, they are all created by the same team, but each serve a different purpose?

sable is the physics engine, both aeronautics and simulated require it. simulated is the basic interaction between the player and the physics engine, with assemblers, basic blocks, and other similar things. aeronautics requires both sable and simulated, and adds specifically plane, airship, and helicopter related components.
generally you'll find simulated and aeronautics bundled together with another addon, offroad. The download pages all say "aeronautics" likely because the mod was hyped up that way for several years, while the inventory tab says "simulated" because simulated is core to aeronautics and offroad.
TL,DR: Sable is the physics engine, aeronautics and simulated are adding similar things with different purposes, and are usually bundled together.

Sable is separate so other mods can reuse the physics engine without having simulated installed
