Advances in Aerospace Science and Technology 航空航天科學與技術

Advances in Aerospace Science and Technology (AAST) is an open access journal. The goal of this journal is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in all areas of Aerospace Science and Technology.

All manuscripts must be prepared in English and are subject to a rigorous and fair peer-review process. Generally, accepted papers will appear online within 3 weeks followed by printed hard copy. The journal publishes papers including but not limited to the breakdown of topics in 4 Dimensions: 1. Classification, 2. Life Cycle, 3. Usage, 4. Perspective. See below:

Dimension 1: Classification – Aeronautics, Astronautics, Aerospace Sciences

Aerospace is by definition broken down in Aeronautics and Astronautics. In addition different Aerospace Sciences have to be differentiated which have an application to both – air AND space.

Aeronautics

Dimension 2: Life Cycle

Aerospace products during their whole life cycle from research, development, design, production, operation, maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO) up to end-of-life.

Dimension 3: Usage

Civil and military usage is considered for air and space. For e.g. aeronautics we consider:

● Civil Aviation

o General Aviation

o Scheduled Air Transport

o Non-scheduled Air Transport

o Experimental Aviation

o Model and Scaled Aircraft

● Military Aviation

o Combat

o Noncombat

Dimension 4: Perspective, Background, Economic Sector

Authors from all economic sectors are welcome. AAST papers should not only reflect a single background but eventually the whole spectrum of perspectives from all sectors. These sectors are:

● Private Sector

o Primary Sector: Extraction of raw material

o Secondary Sector: Manufacturing (Original Equipment Manufacturer, Tier One, Tier Two, ...)

o Tertiary Sector: Services (Operator, Maintenance Organization, ...)

● Public Sector

o State-Owned Corporation

o Government Agency

o Research Establishment

o University

§ Research

§ Teaching

● Civic Sector (NGO, NPO, ...)

● General Public (Passenger, Consumer, ...)

 

 

We are interested in:

● Original Research Papers.

● Comments where an author can present an idea with theoretical background but has not yet completed full research needed for an original paper, likewise a useful method, a small finding or discovery.

● Reviews in all aspects of Aerospace Science and Technology.

● Symposia or workshop papers published as supplements.

● Book reviews with comments and critiques.
