CEAS Technical Committee Aircraft Design (TCAD)

Harmonize research in aircraft design in combination with education!

TCAD Aim

Aim of the CEAS Technical Committee Aircraft Design (TCAD) is harmonization in aircraft design research combined with collaboration in aircraft design education inspired by dedicated symposia and workshops.

TCAD History

In the past there was an Aeronautical Network called "Vehicle Design". TCAD was formed out of this network. The activities of "Vehicle Design" had so far been equivalent to the activities of the European Workshop on Aircraft Design Education (EWADE). The DLR had already organized three Symposia on Collaboration in Aircraft Design (SCAD). These two activities (research and education) - carried by one Aircraft Design community - is what has become the CEAS Technical Committee Aircraft Design.

The committee manifests itself by means of its two regular activties (Figure 1):

Symposium on Collaboration in Aircraft Design --- SCAD
European Workshop on Aircraft Design Education --- EWADE

Figure 1: Origin and structure of the CEAS Technical Committee Aircraft Design

The CEAS Board of Trustees approved on 7th March 2013 the proposal to form a Technical Committee Aircraft Design.

The new structure was presented to the participants during the 3rd Symposium on Collaboration in Aircraft Design. Likewise, the new structure was presented and controversially discussed during the 11th European Workshop on Aircraft Design Education. Both activities took place during the CEAS conference 2013 in Linköping.

TCAD Journal

Aerospace (ISSN 2226-4310) - An Open Access Journal
with Special Issue

Aircraft Design
Usually special issues of a journal are introduced for "hot topics" and are titled as such. The idea is here, to use the subset "Special Issue" of the journal "Aerospace" at MDPI for a specialized scientific domain - Aircraft Design.
Closing Date: The current special issue (SI-4/2022) has a closing date of 31 December 2022.
Keywords: aircraft, design, OAD, configuration, requirements, payload, range, certification, safety, constraints, objectives, synthesis, optimization, aerodynamics, drag, high-lift, structure, mass, performance, stability, control, aeroelasticity, engine, systems, operating costs, DOC, passenger, cabin, ticket, price, environment, profit, asset, wing, fuselage, tail, undercarriage, landing gear, engine, systems.
Paper Type and Content: In addition to original research articles also review papers, letters or communications, technical reports, and extended version of conference papers are accepted. An interest exists also in aircraft design education.
High Visibility: Papers will be visible Open Access at the journal "Aerospace" and also alongside the Special Issue "Aircraft Design" as soon as they are ready. The journal "Aerospace" is covered by many databases and archives including Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) and Scopus (Elsevier).
Rapid Publication: Manuscripts at the journal "Aerospace" are peer-reviewed and a first decision provided to authors approximately 23 days after submission; acceptance to publication is undertaken in 4 days. Once accepted, the manuscripts undergo professional copy-editing, proofreading by the authors, final corrections, and publication on the www.mdpi.com website.
Tradition: Following the successful initial Special Issue Aircraft Design (SI-1/2017) and the relaunch with Aircraft Design (SI-2/2020), followed by Aircraft Design (SI-3/2021), this is already the fourth SI in sequence named Aircraft Design (SI-4/2022). The Special Issues "Aircraft Design" continue the tradition of the Journal Aircraft Design (ISSN: 1369-8869), which Prof. Egbert Torenbeek had started together with Prof. Dr. Jan Roskam as Editors at Elsevier in 1998. The subscription-based publishing model proved inadequate to serve the rather small aircraft design community. For this reason, the Elsevier title had to be discontinued in 2002. This pitfall is avoided with the Open Access publishing model used by MDPI for all its journals including this Special Issue.
Article Processing Charges (APC) are given here. Reductions may be possible. Reviewers who provide timely, thorough peer-review reports receive vouchers entitling them to an additional discount on the APC of their next publication. This means APC can be reduced to a bearable amount, which is usually acceptable to the author's institution.
