Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Automation systems for aerospace engineering have many benefits, including a safer working environment, more flexible manufacturing, increased capacity, and intelligence. However, some obstacles and problems still need to be resolved. It is difficult to perform the necessary assembly, drilling and riveting, surface grinding, and painting of the fuselage and wings in limited and tight spaces. Complex parts require higher accuracy and repeatability. Therefore, the first priority is to develop robotic applications and processes to address these extremely difficult, large-scale manufacturing challenges. All these fit well with the ‘Machines’ scope: applications of automation and artificial intelligence, mechanical engineering, industrial design, mechanical systems, machines and related components, and machine design.
This Special Issue aims to present state-of-the-art developments in automation systems for aerospace engineering, with a focus on creating a successful robotic integration solution that maximizes productivity. These ideas will serve as the cornerstone for discussions on innovations and breakthroughs that can produce fresh, creative approaches to empowering the aerospace and aircraft sector through automation systems. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Robotics;
- Machine vision;
- Machine design, analysis, and application;
- Artificial intelligence;
- Aerospace automation systems;
- Aerospace composite manufacturing;
- Aerospace manufacturing intelligence;
- Aerospace systems and technology.

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. 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
