Progress in Aerospace Sciences

Progress in Aerospace Sciences is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Progress in Aerospace Sciences rather than just read about it. In short: Progress in Aerospace Sciences is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all areas of aerospace and aerospace engineering. It covers all areas of aerospace and aerospace engineering, particularly with respect to new theoretical and experimental developments and their applications in research, industry, and university.

Key takeaways

Progress in Aerospace Sciences belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Progress in Aerospace Sciences to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Progress in Aerospace Sciences from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Progress in Aerospace Sciences is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all areas of aerospace and aerospace engineering. It covers all areas of aerospace and aerospace engineering, particularly with respect to new theoretical and experimental developments and their applications in research, industry, and university. The journal aims to serve as a general-purpose aerospace journal, condensing the ever-expanding, increasingly multidisciplinary field of aerospace into one publication. The journal is intended for a broad readership - generally anyone either active or simply interested in the aerospace field. The editors-in-chief are K.J. Badcock (University of Liverpool) and M.F. Platzer (Naval Postgraduate School). It was established in 1961 and is published by Elsevier. Originally the journal published articles written in English, French, and German, but since 1972 it has been published entirely in English.

About The first edition of Progress in Aerospace Sciences was published in 1961, and the journal been published continuously since 1994. For its entire history, it has been published in Oxford, United Kingdom. Until 1972, the journal published articles written in both English and French, while it has been published entirely in English since. The journal was created with the purpose of collecting all the latest developments in the numerous subsidiary fields of aerospace engineering – including dynamics, structures, flight mechanics, materials, vibrations, aeroelasticity, acoustics, propulsion, avionics, wind engineering, and hydrodynamics – and condensing them into one single publication that gives readers a comprehensive summary of the latest advances in the aerospace field. Articles are specifically commissioned by the review board for each issue. Authors may submit their articles through Elsevier, provided they fall within the criteria specified by the review board. Most issues have articles from several different fields within aerospace engineering, though the journal will occasionally publish special issues that focus on one specific field or development. The latest such issue was published in October 2015, titled Special Issue: DAEDALOS – Dynamics in Aircraft Engineering Design and Analysis for Light Optimized Structures. While articles have no prescribed length and can vary from a few pages to over 100 pages, each article does follow several content and formatting standards. Authors are encouraged to provide an introduction to their field at the beginning of each article, summarizing the history and recent work in their field, in order to acclimate readers to the latest developments in field other than their own. Authors are also expected to provide an abundance of graphs and images in their articles, again to familiarize more general aerospace readers. Because the journal encourages authors to provide an abundance of background information, Progress in Aerospace Sciences can easily be read and understood by readers with little experience in aerospace. Like many peer-reviewed journals, the majority of Progress in Aerospace Sciences' readership comes online. In shifting from print to digital publication, the journal has adapted several content innovations, including interactive graphs and MATLAB plots, to engage readers. While the content and overall mission of the journal have stayed the same throughout its lifespan, there has been a notable shift in style. Older articles tend to be almost exclusively text-based, while recent articles feature an abundance of graphs and figures, making articles more accessible for an increasingly visual user base. Because of its recent innovations and the growth of the aerospace industry, Progress in Aerospace Science has experienced an increase in readership in the 21st century.

Abstracting and indexing The journal is abstracted and indexed in:

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2019 impact factor of 8.940.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Progress in Aerospace Sciences

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Progress in Aerospace Sciences claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Progress in Aerospace Sciences before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Progress in Aerospace Sciences ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Progress in Aerospace Sciences

In research: Progress in Aerospace Sciences appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Progress in Aerospace Sciences in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Progress in Aerospace Sciences is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academic journals established in 1961, Aerospace engineering journals, Elsevier academic journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Progress in Aerospace Sciences outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
