- Structural design of aircrafts using composites;
- Optimal design of aircrafts using composites;
- Structural analysis of design results;
- FEM analysis;
- Composite damage criteria;
- Application of fiber composites in aircrafts;
- Application of sandwich composites in aircrafts;
- Impact damage of aerospace structures;
- Composite specimen test of structural design for aerospace structures;
- Evaluation of mechanical properties using numerical method for composite structures;
- Evaluation of mechanical properties using specimen test for composite structures;
- Manufacturing process of composite structures for aerospace engineering;
- Manufacturing method of composite structures;
- Structural test of aircrafts.

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.
