Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Supersonic combustors are one of the key components of scramjet, the performance of which could make a deep influence on the whole performance of scramjets. In supersonic combustors, the velocity of the main airflow is of an order of kilometers per second; indeed, it exists in such a harsh flowing condition that it is extremely difficult to achieve the combustion organization and flame stabilization. In order to solve the issues about combustion efficiency improvement in scramjet propulsion systems, we are launching a Special Issue of Aerospace entitled “Supersonic Combustion and Scramjet Propulsion”. In doing so, we aim to enhance the investigations into flame stabilization mechanisms in scramjet combustors.
The Special Issue will cover areas of ignition, flame stabilization, flame propagation, combustion performance improvement, scramjet propulsion technology. We intend to publish original research articles, review articles and technical notes. The journal reviews papers within one week of submission, and a fast review process is among our strengths.

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.
