Innovation and Inventions in Aerospace and UAV Applications

Dear Colleagues,

As the Editors of the Topic “Innovation and Inventions in Aerospace and UAV Applications”, we would like to invite you to submit a paper to this collection. Recently, we have been experiencing a tremendous growth in the development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and aerospace issues. Each month brings new ideas related to aviation in its broadest sense, becoming an even stronger accelerator for research in this field. This Topic aims to contribute to the innovative development of manned and unmanned aviation in many areas. Special consideration will be given to high-quality papers that address significant and inventive advances in design, modelling and control, as well as novel approaches and applications.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• innovative UAV design;
• new design approaches in aerospace and UAV;
• unconventional airframe configuration;
• new applications for UASs;
• additive manufacuring in aviation;
• new materials in aviation;
• lattice and light-weight structures;
• hybrid propulsion systems;
• efficiency of flying platform;
• green propulsion in aviation;
• collaboration between manned and unmanned aircrafts;
• navigation in aviation;
• new machine learning techniques for UAS/aviation autonomous control;
• dynamics, control and simulation of flying platforms;
• embedded systems design for UAVs;
• new security systems for wireless communications.
