Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As one of the final and most critical processes in aero-engine manufacturing, assembly and measurement accuracy are directly related to breakthroughs in flight safety and performance. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, digital twins, and flexible sensing technology, intelligent assembly and precision measurement technology are becoming the core driving force for promoting the development and upgrading of the next generation of aero-engines. This Special Issue of Aerospace covers recent developments in aero-engine measurement and assembly methods, including ultra-precision measurement, error accumulation analysis, and intelligent assembly modeling. We are interested in two fields—measurement and assembly. In terms of measurement, the impact of different characteristics such as geometric shape, mass, inertia, gravity, magnetic fields, manufacturing, and performance on engine processing should be considered. Priority should be given to research using intelligent algorithms, new sensors, new modeling methods, and other technologies. In terms of assembly, attention should be paid to the development and application of various assembly methods such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality. It is recommended to use digital twin technology to achieve unified measurement and assembly of engines. The editor of this Special Issue invites authors to submit papers on methods to address the modeling challenges and technical limitations faced in the measurement and assembly processes of various new engines.

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).
