This Journal is devoted to the advancement of the applied science and technology of airborne flight through the dissemination of original archival papers describing significant advances in aircraft, the operation of aircraft, and applications of aircraft technology to other fields.
The Journal publishes qualified papers on aircraft systems, multidisciplinary design optimization of aircraft, structural design/dynamics, active structural control, flight mechanics, flight control effectors, flight and ground testing, measurement techniques, aircraft system identification, applied computational fluid dynamics, aircraft aerodynamics (including unsteady aerodynamics), aeroelasticity, aeroacoustics and aircraft noise, integration of propulsion and control systems, flight hazard prediction and mitigation (including icing, wind shear, lightning), economic effects on aircraft, regulatory effects on aircraft, reliability, maintainability, and production methods.
It publishes papers on general aviation, military and civilian aircraft, UAV, STOL and V/STOL, subsonic, supersonic, transonic, and hypersonic aircraft, and lighter-than-air systems. Papers are sought which comprehensively survey results of recent technical work with emphasis on aircraft technology application.
