Trumpet has bore that remains the same throughout most of its length before flaring rapidly close to the bell. The flügelhorn bore is conical from the third valve onwards and the bell is larger, giving a mellower sound.
There are also construction differences. From the mouthpiece receiver tube, the trumpet tube goes forward before sweeping back to enter the third valve, whilst the flügelhorn receiver pipe directly enters the first valve and as a result, instead of having a tuning crook, the receiver tubes is telescopically adjustable.
The fingering and pitch is normally the same in that both are Bb transposing instruments.
Minor clarification: they CAN be in B-flat, but trumpets are available in other keys besides B-flat.

∙ 15y agoThe tubing on a cornet has more bends or is wound tighter depending on the model. The bore is different on the cornet, being more conical as opposed to the trumpet, which is more cylindrical, and the cornet mouthpiece has a smaller diameter shank. The cornet is generally considered to have a more mellow tone than a trumpet, but that depends partly on the mouthpiece and partly on the player.

∙ 11y agoFor one thing, the mouthpieces are different. A Saxaphone has the same mouthpiece as a Clarinet, depending on whether it is a Alto Sax or Tenor Sax. The Saxaphone also needs a reed. The trumpet is made of some sort of metal and you have to make a buzzing sound in order to blow a note on the tumpet.
They also look different. I play the trumpet now, but these sites can give you a more detailed explanation. You should Google up pics of a Saxaphone or Trumpet to see the difference.

∙ 7y agoA Flute is woodwind and is played with keys. It is in the key of C Major and creates sound by blowing through a hole. It's range is a lot higher. A trumpet is a brass instrument and is played with piston valves. It is in the key of Bb Major and creates sound by buzzing into a mouthpiece. Its range is generally lower that the flute except for the soprano trumpet

How are the trumpet and flute similar?
There is very little similarity between a trumpet and a flute other than that they are both musical instruments, they are both constructed of metal (but different metals), and they both use air in motion to produce sound. The trumpet, however, is usually placed with the horns, or brass instruments, while the flute is considered a woodwind. The mouthpiece of the trumpet is blown directly into, the flute is blown across. The trumpet uses valves to alter the pitch, the flute, keys. The trumpet usually starts at F# (below middle C) and has a range of 2 1/2 octaves. The flute begins at middle C with a range of 3 octaves. The trumpet uses an exponentially flared horn at the exit end to amplify sound. The flute uses no amplification system. The air channel of the trumpet is coiled, the flute, straight.
