Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of aerospace engineering is undergoing rapid transformation, propelled by the growing complexity and performance requirements of modern aviation and space exploration missions. The design of aerospace systems inherently involves multiple interdependent disciplines—including materials science, structural mechanics, aerodynamics, propulsion, and control systems—necessitating advanced optimization methodologies to ensure mission success.
This Special Issue, entitled "Sensitivity Analysis and Design Optimization for Aerospace Systems," aims to explore the complexities of this evolving domain. We invite scholars and researchers to contribute original insights and innovative methodologies advancing the state of the art in aerospace system design.
We welcome submissions addressing sophisticated sensitivity analysis techniques, advanced design optimization under both deterministic and uncertainty-based frameworks, and innovative approaches to subsystem and integrated system design. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, digital twin technologies for automating and optimizing aerospace operations, as well as applications involving low-altitude aircraft, reusable launch vehicles, cross-domain vehicles, manned and unmanned spacecraft, deep space exploration systems, and other complex aerospace platforms.
By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, this Special Issue seeks to advance the frontiers of aerospace engineering and contribute to the success of next-generation aviation and space missions.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this dynamic and rapidly evolving field.

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.
