Applications and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Aerospace Engineering

With the development of aerospace technology and high-performance chip technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied more and more in aerospace engineering tasks. Applications and key technologies of AI in aerospace engineering such as the intelligent design of space systems, intelligent management of space missions, active adaptability of spacecraft in complex missions and harsh environments, intelligent collaboration of spacecraft groups, and the autonomous ability of spacecraft in deep space exploration are reviewed and analyzed. And then the challenge from hardware and software of AI in aerospace engineering applications such as energy supply, information acquisition, transmission, processing, storage, and space environment threats are discussed. It is expected to further promote the application and development of AI in aerospace science and technology.
