Hi,

I would answer this as follows:

1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_conformal_conic_projection

2) The main difference is the type of projection. The Mercator chart is a cylindrical map projection chart while the Lambert chart is a conic map projection

Aeronautical charts are mostly of the Lambert chart type.
