Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Flight guidance, control, and dynamics are important and fundamental issues in aerospace engineering. With the development of modern control theory and artificial intelligence technology, related research is entering a new stage, and many inspiring results have emerged.

This Special Issue is designed to capture current advances and prospects in the field of flight guidance, control, and dynamics. The relevant achievements can provide technical support for the modeling, planning, design, decision-making, and evaluation of a wide range of aerospace systems.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Flight Motion Modeling and Simulation.
  • Trajectory Optimization and Online Planning.
  • Cooperative Guidance and Formation Control.
  • Intelligent Offensive and Defensive Confrontation.
  • Multi-source Information Fusion and Intelligent Perception.
  • Aerodynamic Parameter Estimation and System.
  • Advanced Control System Design Methods and Techniques.
  • Flight-based Transportation.
  • Intelligent Design Theories and Technologies.

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.
