Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aircraft design is a complex field of systems engineering that involves interdisciplinary collaboration and integration. It is also the process of balancing the performance of subsystems such as aerodynamics, structural weight, and avionics to ultimately create a platform with optimal overall performance.
With the rapid development of aerospace technology, aircraft research and development now requires higher interdisciplinary collaborative design capabilities. It has evolved from traditional interdisciplinary collaborative design fields such as aerodynamics, structures, and stealth to tightly coupled, comprehensive design capabilities involving new disciplines such as artificial intelligence, avionics, and flight dynamics. Especially over the past two years, the rapid development of new types of aircraft, such as EVTOL, advanced drones, and hybrid-powered manned aircraft, has caused a significant decline in the adaptability of traditional multidisciplinary collaborative design methods.
Therefore, the aim of this topic is to explore new methods and insights in interdisciplinary collaborative aircraft design within the context of artificial intelligence. This includes, but is not limited to, fields such as overall aircraft design, aerodynamics, structures, flight dynamics, and cost-effectiveness analysis. The focus is on foundational theories and technologies in intelligent aircraft design, aerodynamic/structural/electromagnetic/dynamic coupling, and innovative interdisciplinary optimization design.

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.
