International Journal of Aerospace Sciences

The International Journal of Aerospace Sciences (IJAS) is an international bi-monthly peer-reviewed journal designed to be of wide range of interest and use to all those concerned with research in aerospace sciences and their applications in research establishments, industry and universities. IJAS publishes original papers, review articles related to all fields of aerospace research. Before submission of your article(s) to the International Journal of Aerospace Sciences, please e-mail an article abstract (less than 150 words) with the first and last name of all authors, their affiliations, and the corresponding author's e-mail address to the Editor-In-Chief, Dr. Amir S. Gohardani via the e-mail address: Dr.Amir.Shahram.Gohardani.IJAS@Gmail.com. Kindly, await an approval confirmation from the Editor-In-Chief before submitting your article into the electronic manuscript tracking and peer review system.
