Aero-Engine Manufacturing Technology

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the skills required for “Aero-engine Manufacturing Technology”, including modeling, analysis, and design methodologies. The articles will cover approaches and examples that can be applied to commercial aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, missiles, and spacecraft. design 4D flight guidance systems, optimize an aircraft's trajectory, optimize atmospheric reentry trajectories for space shuttles, and design flight controllers to drive aerospace vehicles along specified optimal trajectories Aircraft, launch vehicles, and spacecraft are all part of the aerospace industry. Their design and manufacture require a precise theoretical and experimental understanding of a wide range of events, as well as performance forecasts for a wide range of complex systems. Thanks to the use of computing hardware and advanced software libraries, optimization technology has become practical for the control of both aeronautical and space vehicles. Researchers are encouraged to publish their results in a broad range of topics, resulting from their recent theoretical and experimental developments. Topics of interest include software planning, modeling and optimization in digital factories with plant simulation tools (e.g., SW of the Siemens PLM portfolio); networked intelligent control systems for high-precision production and resource efficiency; wireless automation and logistics for rapid plant reconfiguration; integrated environments for modeling, simulation, presentation and virtual production; manufacturing technologies for miniaturized ICT systems and for systems interfaced with different types of materials and objects; simulation and automation capabilities; technologies and methods for the production of innovative aircraft with sophisticated maintenance (including repair and overhaul); as well as the cost-effective management of aircraft operations and airports. The length of the papers is not a constraint.

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.
