Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aviation is one of the most dynamic areas of technological advancement. Modern challenges in the field are related to sustainable development. Very important is the application of new design methods—both for aircraft and control systems. They enable the design of more efficient aircraft, reducing the negative impact on the environment. Progress in flight control systems opens up new possibilities, enabling the creation of not only traditional aircraft but also flying objects with unique and previously rarely seen structures. It is important for both manned and unmanned aviation. These innovations not only enhance the efficiency and safety of flights but also change the way we think about the future of air transportation. In response to these changes, a Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences titled "Advances in Aircraft Design, Optimization and Flight Control" has been proposed. This publication aims to gather the latest advancements in aircraft design, optimization, and flight control. We look forward to the active participation of researchers and designers who would like to share their experiences and research findings in this fascinating field.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
