Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue aims to explore the latest advancements and applications in aviation science and technology. As the aviation industry continues to evolve, integrating cutting-edge technologies and innovative practices is crucial for enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability. This issue will serve as a platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to share their findings, insights, and developments in various aspects of aviation.
We invite original research articles, review papers, and case studies that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Sustainable Aviation: Green technologies, alternative fuels, and strategies for reducing the environmental impact of aviation.
- Human Factors and Ergonomics: Enhancing pilot training, cockpit design, and overall human-machine interaction.
- Aviation Operations and Management: Innovations in airline operations, maintenance, and logistics.
- Aviation Safety and Security: Innovations in safety protocols, risk management, and security technologies.
- Aviation Education and Training: Use of technology and other digital tools to enhance aviation education and training.
- Aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul: Applications of 3D printing, IoT, and AI/ML for predictive maintenance, etc.
- Aircraft Design and Engineering: Advances in aerodynamics, materials science, and propulsion systems, etc.
- Air Traffic Management: Modernization of air traffic control systems, optimization algorithms, and automation.
- Drones (UAS/UAV/RPAS): Development and applications of drones and other unmanned systems in commercial and military contexts.
- Urban Air Mobility: Emerging technologies and frameworks for advanced or urban air mobility solutions.
- Aerospace Transportation: Point-to-point space, supersonic, and even hypersonic concepts, as well as space tourism and other commercial space activity,
By bringing together a diverse range of topics and perspectives, this special issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and drive forward the frontiers of aviation science and technology. Trends in terns of the digital transformation, including AI/ML, VR/AR, blockchain, and other up-and-coming technologies, in shaping the future of aviation are desirable. Similarly, the green revolution, and associated electrification and hybridization in aviation should be considered.
We look forward to your contributions that will help shape the future of aviation.
