Dynamics and Control of Aerospace Systems—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The dynamics and control of aerospace systems have attracted growing interest due to them being key problems in the development of aerospace vehicles such as space stations, space telescopes, and advanced aircraft. The purpose of dynamics is to study system behaviours using time and force, while the purpose of control is to develop the control effect with error feedback under various working conditions. Knowledge of aerospace systems is critical for the design of control systems. Newly designed aerospace systems raise novel challenges for dynamics and control techniques. We invite investigators to contribute original research and review articles addressing dynamics modelling, stability analysis, and controller design of aerospace systems.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Control system design of aircraft and spacecraft;
• System modelling, analysis, and identification of aerospace systems;
• System stability of aerospace vehicles;
• Sensors and control actuators of aircraft, rockets, and spacecraft;
• Orbit and attitude dynamics and control;
• Drone dynamics and control;
• Space tether dynamics and control;
• Experimental investigation of aerospace systems;
• Novel sensors and actuators of aerospace vehicles.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Actuators 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.
