Optimal Design of Aircraft

This special issue belongs to the section “Machine Design and Theory“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Faced with increasingly severe climate and environmental requirements and carbon emission pressure, the concept and pursuit of green aviation has increasingly become the focus of aircraft designers, manufacturers and operators. Aircraft design is an optimization process. How to find a breakthrough in traditional disciplines such as aircraft overall design, aerodynamic design, structural design, flight control design, electronic and electrical system design, and how to achieve high efficiency, energy conservation, environmental protection and other requirements for optimization and tradeoffs has become increasingly urgent. Furthermore, unmanned and intelligent, as well as electric and hydrogen energy, provide valuable solutions for the commercialization of green aviation.

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. Machines 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.
