Aerospace Science and Technology

A Leading Aerospace Research Journal in Europe

An international editorial team

The merger of La Recherche Aérospatiale and ZFW (Zeitschrift für Flugwissenschaften und Weltraumforschung), both leading journals in France and Germany, gave birth to Aerospace Science and Technology. Published by a bi–national editorial team under the auspices of the national research establishments ONERA and DLR in cooperation with the DGLR. In 1999, four other European research establishments have joined ONERA/AAAF and DLR/DGLR within AST: CIRA (Italy), INTA (Spain), NLR (The Netherlands) and FOI (Sweden), giving the journal a dimension truly representative of the weight of European countries within the aerospace research community.

Aerospace Science and Technology publishes articles of outstanding scientific quality. Each article is reviewed by two referees. The journal welcomes papers from a wide range of countries. This journal publishes original papers, review articles and short communications related to all fields of aerospace research, fundamental and applied, potential applications of which are clearly related to:
• the design and the manufacture of aircraft, helicopters, missiles, launchers and satellites
• the control of their environment
• the study of various systems they are involved in, as supports or as targets
