Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the design, control, and aerodynamic performance of micro air vehicles (MAVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Research includes system identification, biomimetic flight control, nonlinear model predictive control, fluid-structure interaction, aerodynamic optimization, landing control, ground effect analysis, and state estimation. Topics also cover flexible wing design, ice accretion effects, articulated tails, wall-attachment capabilities, wing kinematics, tail-sitter UAVs, coverage path planning, swashplateless rotor configurations, UAV detection, remaining useful life estimation, drag coefficient modeling, airflow-based odometry, and flow control techniques.
