Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in developing detonation-based engines, such as Pulsed (PDEs), Rotating (RDEs) and Oblique Detonation Engines (ODEs), for aeronautics and astronautics propulsion applications due to the high propulsion performance afforded by detonation. However, challenges remain in the application of detonation engines; thus, the fundamental detonation phenomena (e.g., initiation, propagation limits and failure) and their mechanisms must be better understood prior to the application of detonation in advanced propulsion technology.
For this Special Issue, we invite authors to contribute high-quality original papers covering fundamental detonation phenomena and their physics, and new developments in technology associated with the application of detonation, especially for PDEs, RDEs and ODEs. We also welcome papers discussing new theoretical, analytical, experimental and numerical developments.

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.
