Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the transformative impact of data-driven engineering and machine learning in aerospace, particularly in non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring of complex aerospace compoents. This interdisciplinary approach aims to improve aerospace industry practices by leveraging big data, advanced computation, and ML algorithms to solve complex, multi-objective optimization problems in aircraft manufacturing and matainence. The scope focuses on the need for interpretable, generalizable, and certifiable ML techniques for safety-critical applications in aerospace. Key themes include the utility of ML in enhancing decision-making processes, the role of high-fidelity simulations, and the importance of data quality and management. This Special Issue examines how ML algorithms, coupled with advanced sensor technologies, are revolutionizing non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring, leading to unprecedented levels of safety and efficiency. It underscores the transformative potential of ML in reshaping aerospace engineering, making it a critical area of study and innovation within the broader context of sensor technologies and their applications.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
