2021-8-18 Submission
2021-8-24 The editor withdrew the submission and asked me to make three key revisions. They said that I could resubmit after making the changes.
2021-9-3 Resubmission
2021-11-22 Editorial comments returned, major revisions required. There were a total of four reviewers who asked numerous questions. Two reviewers recommended acceptance, one reviewer strongly rejected, and one reviewer stated that there were several issues preventing them from recommending acceptance.
2022-1-17 Submission of response to editorial comments. The response consisted of 50 pages of comments.
2022-3-8 Acceptance
Overall, the journal is very good. I'm not sure why it is classified as a third or fourth-tier journal by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The reviewers asked very professional questions, and although the process of responding was painful, it allowed my work to progress further.

Last year, I published an article which I personally believe is one of the top journals in the field of aerospace, second only to "Progress in Aerospace Science". However, the impact factor is not strong enough. This year, it fell to Q2 and was surpassed by AST and CJA. It was even surpassed by MDPI's "Aerospace". However, internationally, AIAA Journal is still more recognized. Recently, I submitted another article and hope it gets accepted.
