Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the great interest shown by contributors and readers for the topics of a previous Special Issue in MDPI's Aerospace journal, I am pleased to announce the launch of a second volume of an open access Special Issue dedicated to Aircraft Modeling for Design, Simulation, and Control. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an insight into the state-of-the-art of aircraft/aircraft component modeling and simulation, with applications in the study of flying vehicle design and control problems. As Guest Editor of this Special Issue, I would like to invite you to submit full research articles and review manuscripts addressing (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Aircraft/airship flight mechanics for design and control: dynamic modeling aimed at flying vehicle performance assessment, control design, simulation, preliminary aircraft design and sizing;
- Aircraft/airship component modeling for design and control: component modeling, including structure, onboard plants, energy management system, power-plants, and aimed at tackling design, sizing, and control problems;
- Design and preliminary sizing techniques for aircraft/airships featuring innovative propulsion systems and/or unconventional configurations: procedures for optimal design, heuristics, best-practices, and case studies;
- Propulsion systems integration in aircraft/airship design: strategies and procedures for the design and sizing of aircraft featuring innovative propulsion systems;
- The modeling, simulation and control of interacting flying vehicles: dynamic simulation and of interacting aircraft (e.g., coordinated flight, target-seeking problems, formation flight, swarms, homing on target, etc.), trajectory planning, control for coordination/homing.
Research works adopting a theoretical approach or an experience-driven practical approach are similarly welcome, as well as in-depth assessments of case studies. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Dr. Carlo E. D. Riboldi
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Aerospace is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
