Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on “Recent Progress in Dynamics, Control, and Guidance of Green Aviation and Advanced Air Mobility” of the journal Aerospace. This SI is dedicated to the latest research on green aviation and advanced air mobility (AAM), encompassing electric, hybrid, and hydrogen-powered aviation systems. The SI serves as a continuation of our previous SI “Recent Research on UAM/AAM Aircraft and Systems: Modeling, Advanced Control, and Emerging Technologies”. The focus areas include:
Flight System Dynamics and Simulation: articles on the multi-physical nature of eVTOL aircraft and their simulation models for operational efficiency;
Performance Evaluation: research on performance comparisons between different configurations of eVTOL, eCTOL, and eSTOL aircraft, examining payload, range, speed, and energy consumption;
Advanced Control Methods: studies on advanced and intelligent control laws that facilitate the operation of eVTOL aircraft, including AI-based control techniques;
Practical Control Methods: articles addressing practical control methods that solve new challenges in green aviation, such as energy management strategies and operational strategies balancing safety and efficiency;
Guidance and Path Planning: research on guidance and path planning in complex airspace environments for AAM optimization;
Human–Machine Interaction and Simulator: articles on the role of human–machine interaction in aviation, including the development and use of simulators for training and operational testing;
Tests Including Software/Processor/Hardware/Pilot in the Loop: studies on integrated testing approaches will be included, particularly those that incorporate software, hardware, and human factors, ensuring the safety and reliability of new aviation technologies.
Other Innovative Research: this SI is open to other innovative research in relevant fields, including new materials, aerodynamics, and propulsion technologies that contribute to the advancement of green aviation and AAM.

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.
