This book is a compilation of peer-reviewed papers from the 2018 Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Aerospace Technology (APISAT 2018). The symposium is a common endeavour between the four national aerospace societies in China, Australia, Korea and Japan, namely, the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics (CSAA), Royal Aeronautical Society Australian Division (RAeS Australian Division), the Korean Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences (KSAS) and the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences (JSASS). APISAT is an annual event initiated in 2009 to provide an opportunity for researchers and engineers from Asia-Pacific countries to discuss current and future advanced topics in aeronautical and space engineering.

The types of contributions in the book are as follows: original research, survey, and theoretical insight that describe advancement in the adoption of technique for resolving the broad range of challenges. Researchers, undergraduates, postgraduates, and industry experts will find the book as a valuable resource that bridges theory and practice. .

This book is about the cooperation of AIAA and IEEE, two major engineering organizations from two distinct focus points of technologies: intelligent aero-engine and electrified aviation. AIAA and IEEE both have their intrinsic needs for each other and their co-working is a must-have in the rest of 21st century. AIAA needs IEEE to become smarter and greener and IEEE needs a much broader scope to enlarge its marketplace and playground. The topics related to AIAA's and IEEE's co-project are highly multi- and inter-disciplinary related and highly goal-oriented. The target audience of this book is IEEE, AIAA members and other related professionals from universities, industries and institutes in the fields of AI-driven smart systems and electric airplanes with the associated new electric aero-engines and mobile aviation electric powers. The key contents When AIAA is Meeting IEEE AIAA vs. IEEE How to interact and what to achieve The mindset analysis of AIAA and IEEE The smarter AIAA The AI - Smart brain, IoT, e-devices The smart sensors for AIAA -scenarios, fabrication, challenges, and testings Electric aviation Versatile, smarter, and green The evolution of aero-engines - pistol, gas turbine, electric aero-engine The integration of aero-engines and aero-craft Delta VTOLer and STOL for B787 Rotatable wing and VTOL operation The RDF jet – a new electric aero-engine The features: small, light, thrust The architecture: motor, fan, jet The principle: rim driven, Tai Chi fan, duct, and jet Aviation electric power grid Energy and weight Battery, LTG, and 3D HK SC

Transportation systems play a major role in the reduction of energy consumptions and environmental impact all over the world. The significant amount of energy of transport systems forces the adoption of new solutions to ensure their performance with energy-saving and reduced environmental impact. In this context, technologies and materials, devices and systems, design methods, and management techniques, related to the electrical power systems for transportation are continuously improving thanks to research activities. The main common challenge in all the applications concerns the adoption of innovative solutions that can improve existing transportation systems in terms of efficiency and sustainability.
