Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dynamic characteristics of actuation systems are critical to the flight performance and reliability of aerospace vehicles. In light of the modeling uncertainties and potential failures faced by actuators in real-world scenarios, it is essential to explore robust control system designs that can mitigate these risks.
This Special Issue invites original research contributions that address the challenges posed by actuators in aerospace applications. We are particularly interested in papers that offer theoretical insights and practical solutions, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Nonlinear analysis of actuators;
- Modeling and simulation of actuators;
- Fault diagnosis and fault tolerance;
- Advanced control strategies.
We welcome submissions that not only introduce novel ideas but also make a positive contribution to the field of actuator technology and control system development, potentially leading to advances in aerospace actuator design and functionality.

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. Actuators 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.
