Progress in Aerospace Sciences

Progress in Aerospace Sciences (JPAS) is an invitation-only international review journal of broad interest to researchers, engineers, and practitioners in aeronautics, astronautics, and aerospace engineering and science across research institutes, industry, and universities. The journal is devoted exclusively to invited critical review articles. As a general rule, papers should be as concise as possible and not exceed 100 pages.

Authors are encouraged to provide specialist readers with an orderly and concise summary of recent work, with sufficient detail to inform general aerospace readers of developments beyond their own field. Each paper must critically review a minimum of 100 publications.

The journal covers, but is not limited to, the following topics:

Aeronautics (Atmospheric Flight): aerodynamics at all flight Mach numbers; gas dynamics; high-speed structures; flight mechanics; stability of flexible dynamic systems; materials; vibrations; aeroelasticity; acoustics; propulsion; avionics; attitude dynamics; guidance, navigation and control (GNC); autonomous flight; AI and machine learning; morphing systems; optimization; advanced computational and non-traditional simulation methods; flight testing; wind engineering; hydrodynamics; sustainable aviation fuels.

Astronautics (Space Flight): astrodynamics; orbital and attitude guidance, navigation and control; on-board autonomy including physics-informed AI and machine learning; mission analysis and design; structures and mechanisms; planetary and orbital space robotics; space systems engineering; deployable structures and very large space systems; solar sails; innovation and technology transfer; human spaceflight; new space economy; space exploration.

Aerospace (Atmospheric and Space Flight): aerospace sensors; control systems; software verification; uncertainties; avionics; trajectories; traffic management; acoustic noise control; artificial intelligence in aerospace; augmented solar sailcraft; propellantless propulsion; interplanetary mission architecture; planetary entry, descent, and landing (EDL).

Article Types and Pre-Proposal Submission

JPAS publishes invited critical review papers only. Authors with a review paper plan are welcome to submit a pre-proposal for suitability review and potential invitation by contacting ONLY ONE of the two editors below (in alphabetical order):

Dr. Romano — [email protected]

Dr. Sarigul-Klijn — [email protected]

Please begin the email subject line with JPAS.

Duplicate submissions will not be reviewed.

The decision of either editor is final.

The initial submission must include:

1. The title and an abstract of at least 400 words.

2. A detailed table of contents.

3. The anticipated full manuscript submission date and the corresponding author's details.

4. A brief CV for all proposed co-authors, including a list of relevant publications and their affiliation and position.
