Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Referring to the title of this special issue, it should be emphasised that in recent years, including the current one, both the aviation and space sectors have experienced remarkable technological advances, particularly in terms of advanced technological solutions, including aspects of the evaluation of mechanical, electronic, power-electronic and electrical systems that form the driving force for efficiency, safety and sustainability in modern electrified aircraft (MEA/AEA) and advanced space devices. In the above aspect, innovations in actuation, energy management, structural integration and embedded systems have opened up new opportunities for lightweight construction, autonomous control and distributed propulsion. Additionally, the global demand for safer, lighter and more efficient aerospace systems has led to major innovations in mechanical and electrical subsystems. The main objective of this Special issue is to collect original research, state-of-the-art and case studies on recent advances in the development, optimisation and application of mechanical, mechatronic and electrical systems, including their components (sensors, MEMS, FADEC, generators, etc.) in electrified aircraft and advanced space applications (devices, subsystems, etc.).

Its goal is to highlight recent advances in component design, system-level integration, modelling and simulation, and practical implementation strategies that bridge the gap between engineering research (analytical, validation, etc.) and real-world aerospace applications.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
