Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of next-generation aero-engines demands breakthroughs in aerodynamics and thermal management to enhance performance, efficiency, and sustainability. This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge advancements in these areas, addressing challenges such as high-temperature operation, cooling technologies, flow control, and energy-efficient designs. Topics of interest include innovative aerodynamic configurations, advanced cooling techniques such as effusion, double-wall, and transpiration, additive manufacturing-based heat exchangers, laminar flow control, and advanced computational fluid dynamics. Numerical and experimental studies exploring novel materials, optimization methods, and AI-driven design approaches are also encouraged.
We invite the submission of contributions that push the boundaries of aero-engine technology, offering solutions for reduced emissions, improved durability, and superior thermal efficiency. Both fundamental research and applied engineering studies, providing insights into the future of propulsion systems, are welcome.

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.
