Russian Aeronautics is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles on fundamental research, application, and developments in the field of aeronautical, space, rocket science and engineering that are carried out at institutes of higher education, research institutes, design bureaus, and branch enterprises. Subjects covered in the journal are aircraft and rocket equipment design; aerodynamics, strength, dynamics, and control of flight vehicles; aircraft and rocket engine theory and design; technology, automation of aircraft/rocket equipment design and production; aircraft instruments and instrumentation computer complexes. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries. PEER REVIEW Russian Aeronautics is a peer reviewed journal. We use a single blind peer review format. The average period from submission to first decision is 20 days. The average rejection rate for submitted manuscripts is 10%. The final decision on the acceptance of an article for publication is made by the Editorial Board. Any invited reviewer who feels unqualified or unable to review the manuscript due to the conflict of interests should promptly notify the editors and decline the invitation. Reviewers should formulate their statements clearly in a sound and reasoned way so that authors can use reviewer’s arguments to improve the manuscript. Personal criticism of the authors must be avoided. Reviewers should indicate in a review (i) any relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors, (ii) anything that has been reported in previous publications and not given appropriate reference or citation, (ii) any substantial similarity or overlap with any other manuscript (published or unpublished) of which they have personal knowledge. Publishes fundamental research, applications, and developments in aeronautical science and engineering Features theoretical and applied articles from institutes and industrial organizations throughout the former Soviet Union Addresses aircraft equipment, flight vehicle design, structural mechanics, flight dynamics and flight vehicle control, aero and gas dynamics, and much more
