The International Symposium on Jet Propulsion and Power Engineering (ISJPPE) originated from Beihang University (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, BUAA) of China and RWTH Aachen University of Germany. The main goal of the ISJPPE is to review recent progress achieved in jet propulsion and power engineering to facilitate the exchange of results and hold discussions among scientists and engineers in this field. A broad cooperation and exchange of new ideas between specialists will be promoted in order to consolidate recent advances in the knowledge of jet propulsion and power engineering. The 5th ISJPPE will be organized by Beihang University, China, RWTH Aachen University, Germany, Imperial College London, UK, and will be hosted by the Collaborative Innovation Center for Advance Aero-Engine (CICAAE) of China. The official language for the Symposium is English. All papers will be subject to thorough peer review. The Collaborative Innovation Center for Advance Aero-Engine (CICAAE) of China has been established by the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Finance of China. Beihang University (BUAA) and China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC) are the core members of CICAAE, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University and Chinese Academy of Engineering Thermophysics etc are the collaborative members of CICAAE. The purpose of CICAAE is progress of educational and scientific innovation on advanced aero-engines.
