Technologies of Electric and Hybrid Electric Aircraft
This special issue belongs to the section "E: Electric Vehicles".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After almost fifty years of steady development, the commercial aircraft industry is being forced to change technology and rapidly develop radical new low-emission technologies for commercial aircraft. This is an industry currently estimated to have a “direct value” of around 1000 billion dollars.
These technologies include electric, hybrid-electric, and hydrogen-powered propulsion systems. These technologies require urgent and fundamental research to support this change. These new aircraft are highly integrated, which requires us to cover a wide range of fields, as individual components cannot be designed without full system knowledge. Hence, this is a new and large area of work which, if successful, is capable of providing emission-free air-travel and thereby making a significant contribution to limiting global warming effects.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
