Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Sensors in Aircraft”.
Modern aircraft are complex technical objects with many different sensors and measuring systems, e.g., on-board instruments, navigation, guidance and control systems, propulsion engines and fuel systems, and hydraulic and passenger safety systems, which operate based on data signals obtained using various sensors. The trend to minimize the human factor is seen in, among others, the use of automatic aircraft guidance systems, which in turn are based on sensor systems. This is especially true for unmanned aerial vehicles, in which vision sensor systems partly play the role of a pilot. Furthermore, in the design, research, and development process of aircraft, sensors and measuring systems play an important role, providing necessary data on a regular basis. This Special Issue of Sensors is devoted to innovations, novel solutions, and new research in the field of physical sensors in aircraft. Original contributions referring to the following topics are welcome:
- Physical sensors and sensor systems in aircraft navigation and on-board diagnostic systems;
- Instruments based on physical sensors;
- Sensors and instrumentation for the flight testing of aircrafts;
- Sensors in measurement technology for design, research, and development, as well as production engineering of aircrafts;
- Smart sensors based on fuzzy logic and artificial intelligence methods and technology;
- Aircrafts sensors and sensing systems based on the Internet of Things;
- Aircraft as a sensor;
- Optical sensors for unmanned aerial vehicles;
- Sensors for monitoring the pilot’s environment in aircraft, for example, onboard electromagnetic field sensors;
- Other aspects of sensors and sensing technology for aircraft and aerospace.
Research contributions (both experimental and analytical), design studies, literature reviews, as well as applications and technology demonstrators are welcome.

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.
