Aerotech, Aerospace and Security Applications in the Age of Artificial Intelligence Support for Industry 4.0 and Green Technology

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in aeronautics and aerospace technology to form a platform from which to seek the advancement of (human-related) technology in an interdisciplinary manner in the age of artificial intelligence support for industry 4.0 and green technology.

Systems in the fields of aerotech and aerospace are complex, multidimensional, highly distributed, and interdependent, making them multidisciplinary. Growing economic, atmospheric, and safety uncertainties are opening up new research questions. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, such as machine learning, multiagent systems, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, neural networks, and predictive analytics, etc., have demonstrated the potential to address complex problems for which traditional methodologies have been ineffective or infeasible. The topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to: multiple areas of aerotech and aerospace engineering and applications; human factors and performance in aeronautics and aerospace; aeronautics and aerospace education and training; systems engineering; expert software applications for aeronautics and aerospace; aeronautics and aerospace operations; avionics; aircraft engines; sensors; sustainable energies; ergonomic issues for aeronautics and aerospace; aerodynamics; computer vision; airport design; aircraft design, certifications, maintenance, and services; vibroacoustic issues; aeronautical meteorology; unmanned autonomous systems (UAS); numerical methods for UAS; UAS planning and engineering design; UAS modeling, simulation, and operations; skydiving and testing; impacts of transport activities on the environment and health; smart mobility and transport; smart and sustainable technology; reliability, safety and security, risk-assessment in transport and critical infrastructure; and anti-bacterial and anti-virus problem-solving in transport.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
