Aerotech and Aerospace Applications including Selected Papers from SpliTech 2021

Dear Colleagues,

This special edition aims to present recent advances in aviation and aerospace technology, including a selected contribution from the SpliTech 2021 conference (https://2021.splitech.org/), but also papers from other researchers that fit into the topics of this Special Issue.

The 6th International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Technologies (SpliTech 2021) will feature a technical and professional program related to today’s hottest topics: smart city/environment, energy, engineering modeling, and health, including the aviation and aerospace technologies. The goal of SpliTech 2021 is to form a platform to seek the advancement of technology and human-related technologies in an interdisciplinary manner. Systems in the field of aerotech and aerospace are complex, multidimensional, highly distributed, and interdependent, making then multidisciplinary. The growth of uncertainties related to economic, atmospheric, and safety conditions are opening new research questions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, such as machine learning, multiagent systems, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, neural networks, predictive analytics, etc., have demonstrated potential to address complex problems for which traditional methodologies have been ineffective or infeasible. The conference will also include plenary sessions, technical sessions, and special sessions. Highly qualified papers selected from SpliTech 2021/Special Section on Aerotech and Aerospace applications will be invited to this Special Issue for publication. However, the Special Issue also welcomes submissions from other researchers which fit the scope as shown below. The topics of this Special Issue include but are not limited to: multiple areas of Aerotech and aerospace engineering and applications; human factors and performance in aeronautics and aerospace; low-profile Aerotech; high-profile Aerotech; systems engineering; security and safety issues, software applications for aeronautics and aerospace; aeronautics and aerospace operations; avionics; dual-use applications; ergonomic issues for aeronautics and aerospace; aerodynamics; aerostructures; unmanned autonomous systems (UAS); numerical methods for UAS; UAS planning and engineering design; UAS modeling, simulation, and operations; applications; computer vision;aircraft certifications, maintenance and services; vibroacoustic issues; aeronautical meteorology; impacts of aviation activities on the environment and health; smart mobility and transport; and COVID-19 Virus Issues in aeronautics.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
