Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern aircraft are technologically advanced structures where electrical and electronic systems play a crucial role. These systems are responsible for the operation of a wide range of sensors and measurement devices, such as onboard instruments, navigation systems, control units, engines, fuel, and hydraulic systems, as well as passenger safety systems. The functioning of these systems relies on the processing of electrical and electronic signals gathered from various sensors. The trend toward reducing human involvement in aviation operations is most evident in the automation of aircraft control systems, made possible by the implementation of advanced electronic technologies, particularly in the case of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Throughout the cycle of aircraft design, testing, and development, electrical and electronic technologies, including sensor systems and measurement units, are essential, regularly providing the necessary data for analysis and optimization of aircraft design. This Special Issue of Applied Sciences focuses on innovative solutions and research in applications of electrical and electronic technologies in aerospace engineering, which contribute to advancements in this rapidly evolving field.
Original manuscripts on the following topics are welcome:
- Development of propulsion systems based on electric engines in aviation;
- Intelligent aircraft condition monitoring systems;
- Electrical power management systems in modern aircraft;
- Development of emergency power systems in modern aerospace designs;
- Advanced control and automation systems in autonomous aviation (UAV);
- Modern LED lighting technologies in aviation;
- Application of piezoelectric materials in vibration monitoring systems;
- Use of integrated electronic/electric systems to enhance aircraft aerodynamics;
- Diagnostic systems based on the Internet of Things (IoT) in aviation;
- Renewable energy and charging systems in electric aircraft.
Manuscripts of research papers; experimental, analytical, and design studies; and literature reviews, applications, and technology demonstrations are welcome.

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-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.
