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.
