Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is cooperating with the 15th EASN International Conference on “Innovation in Aviation & Space towards Sustainability Today and Tomorrow”, which will be held by the EASN Association and the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), and will take place in Madrid, Spain, from the October 14th to 17th, 2025.
The EASN Conference Series has become a leading platform for fostering dialogue and collaboration among key stakeholders in aviation and space, including representatives from academia, industry, research organizations, and policymaking bodies. Through plenary talks, thematic sessions, and interactive discussions, participants will explore groundbreaking advancements and innovative approaches to address today’s and tomorrow’s sustainability challenges.
Beyond the technical sessions, the 15th EASN International Conference aspires to serve as a vibrant hub for European dissemination and exploitation activities. It will highlight the strategic priorities guiding the European aerospace sector toward environmental, economic, and social sustainability, with a strong focus on creating synergies across disciplines and industries.
Authors of outstanding papers related to the topic of aviation and space are invited to submit extended versions of their work to this Special Issue for publication.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Madrid and the 2025 EASN International Conference, and invite submissions of extended conference papers to this Special Issue. We hope that the conference will be another successful, in-person gathering of the EASN Association.

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.
