Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Detonative propulsion represents the new generation of hypersonic propulsion techniques. Research in this field is booming, and many advances have been made globally in recent years. This Special Issue aims to publish these cutting-edge research results to promote the development of detonative propulsion and the cooperation of researchers in this field.
The topics for this Special Issue are broad, including (but not limited to):
- Oblique detonation engines;
- Rotating detonation engines;
- Pulsed detonation engines;
- Shock-induced supersonic combustion;
- Detonation-assisted scramjets;
- Propulsive performance analysis of detonation engines;
- The fundamental physics of gaseous detonation and multiphase detonation;
- The design of detonation engines;
- Other research related to detonative propulsion techniques.
We invite authors to contribute new research results to this Special Issue.

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.
