New Insights into Aircraft Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The more/all electrical aircraft concept has fundamentally changed the architecture of onboard power system. To increase the efficiency and power density, high-performance power converters and electric machines have received increasing attention in recent years. Despite these advancements, the topology design and control of these devices still remains an open challenge to meeting the specialized demands of the aviation industry. Moreover, as various power sources and loads coexist, the coordination and energy management of onboard power system is also a crucial aspect to ensuring the overall energy conversion efficiency. This specialized issue seeks to share and spotlight recent research findings and practical applications in the field of aircraft power systems, addressing the needs of emerging applications. Authors interested in contributing to this endeavor are welcome to submit their original contributions, survey papers, or tutorials with the potential for publication.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
