Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of intelligent materials/structures, sensor networks, control algorithms, and artificial intelligence technology makes it possible for future flying vehicles to be more efficient, adaptable, and intelligent, includingmorphing aircraft. These advanced technologies bring new concepts and also more challenges to the design and control of flying vehicles. The interactions between flight dynamics, aerodynamics, structures, and control must be considered from a systematic perspective to enhance stability and control efficiency. Intelligent sensing and decision-making based on artificial intelligence can improve the all-around flight performance, and can also help us to deal with the challenges in design and control. This Special Issue will focus on, but will not be limited to, intelligent materials and structures, sensing technology, morphing wings, flight control, artificial intelligence, etc.

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.
