Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The design of advanced composites and structures are very crucial for the rapid development of aerospace. They can provide superior mechanical properties with limited mass, contributing to aircraft safety, controllability, fuel saving, etc. With the development of manufacturing technology (such as 3D printing), more complicated and lightweight composites and structures can be manufactured efficiently to satisfy higher requirements of aerospace. This also stimulates the innovative design of composites and structures. However, the complex and not well-understood mechanical mechanisms of the designed composites and structures limit their extensive applications.
This special issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to share their latest progress in the design and analysis of advanced composites and structures applied in aerospace. A special emphasis is on design principles, analysis methods and complex mechanical mechanisms to guide the 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. Aerospace is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
