Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flight control systems play a vital role in the advancement of modern aircraft, enabling the execution of intended maneuvers and enhancing overall aircraft capabilities. Their complex design necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing flight mechanics modeling, control theory, mathematical optimization, the analysis of complex aeronautical systems, compliance with aviation regulations, the consideration of pilot input, and various other factors. The integration of these components poses significant challenges and demands considerable time and effort. Consequently, flight control system design remains a dynamic field characterized by ongoing development and innovative breakthroughs. This Special Issue endeavors to showcase the latest progress in flight control design, encompassing such diverse areas as the following:
- Aerodynamic parameter estimation and modelling;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning for aeronautics;
- Autonomous aircraft and aeronautical systems;
- Guidance, navigation, and control;
- Flight tests and instrumentation;
- Flexible and resilient control systems;
- Modern flight mechanics;
- Pilot in the loop modelling and simulation;
- Risk-based oversight.

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. Aerospace 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.
