Control of Hypersonic Morphing Flight Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

Morphing aircraft can rapidly alter their aerodynamic configuration, flight trajectory, and attack methods, making them one of the key directions for the innovative development of future-generation aircraft. They have the potential to reshape operational patterns of future warfare and establish a new paradigm for the intelligent application of morphing aircraft. Compared with traditional aircraft, morphing aircraft can adjust their structural configuration and flight state according to their environmental conditions, mission status, and operational objectives, thereby providing superior aerodynamic performance and manoeuvrability and significantly enhancing the aircraft's mission adaptability. This has attracted widespread attention from scholars and research institutions worldwide, establishing morphing aircraft as a cutting-edge research focus in advanced aircraft control technology.

To facilitate the exchange the latest research in advanced guidance and control for morphing aircraft, the editors of this Special Issue invite submissions addressing the challenges of guidance and control in these systems. The aim is to foster collaboration among researchers and to drive innovation in advanced guidance and control technologies for morphing aircraft.

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-anonymized 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.
