Airframe Noise and Airframe/Propulsion Integration

Dear Colleagues,

As the traditional areas of aeroacoustic research such as jet, fan, and turbomachinery noise have achieved remarkable success in reducing the aircraft propulsion noise signature, airframe noise and its control have become an important focus of studies. Among those, high-fidelity analysis and the control of acoustic radiation from high-lift devices and landing gear dominate the research efforts. There is also an increasing interest to explore and employ unconventional airframe-propulsion integration configurations for further aircraft noise reduction, achieved, e.g., through airframe shielding of engine noise radiation. This Special Issue serves to give a review and prospective for the state-of-the-art in analysis and control approaches related to airframe and propulsion/airframe integration acoustics. Your contributions toward this issue is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions regarding the Special Issue, please feel free to contact the Guest Editor.

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.
