Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrified aircraft propulsion is a key enabling technology for achieving net zero emissions in air transportation. As in automotive systems, various electric and hybrid electric architectures, including hydrogen-based systems, have been proposed for aircraft propulsion. In addition, significant advancements have been made in regular and flying cars and eVTOL vehicles as air taxis. This has been possible with the advances in electric machines, power electronics, energy storage systems, systems integration, control, and thermal management. The airborne vehicles' electrical components and systems must meet stringent power density, efficiency, reliability, and safety requirements. This Special Issue on “Electric and Hybrid Electric Aircraft Propulsion Systems” invites original research papers that address the challenges and opportunities in the following topics:
- Electric, hybrid, and distributed propulsion system architectures;
- Hybrid energy storage for electrified aircraft;
- Electrical machines for propulsion and for on-board power generation;
- Power electronic converters for propulsion motors and for on-board power generation;
- Electric power management, distribution, and protection;
- Superconducting technologies (including cryogenic cooling systems);
- Electrical system control, diagnostics, and health monitoring;
- Fuel cell systems for propulsion and on-board power generation;
- Hydrogen engine-based propulsion;
- Power and propulsion system modeling and simulation;
- Propulsion systems for eVTOL and flying cars;
- Other impactful technologies.
Review papers may also be submitted.

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. World Electric Vehicle Journal 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 1400 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.
