Liu Daxiang, academician of China Academy of Engineering and deputy director of Aviation Industry Corporation of China Science and Technology Commission, said that China is expected to realize independent research, development and production of large aircraft engines in about 20 years.
The establishment of AVIC Commercial Aircraft Engine Co., Ltd. is based on the requirements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and around the major objectives set by the national large aircraft project. AVIC and the Shanghai Municipal Government reached an agreement during the Zhuhai Air Show in June 2008 +065438+ 10. According to the Framework Agreement, the two parties will jointly invest in the establishment of a commercial aero-engine project company in Shanghai, and take the aero-engine R&D center and assembly test base as the guide to establish R&D, assembly, testing, marketing, customer service, airworthiness forensics and other R&D systems as soon as possible. Among them, the R&D center is planned to be located in Zizhu, Minhang, Shanghai, and the assembly base is planned to be located in Shanghai Lingang Heavy Equipment Industrial Zone. The establishment of AVIC Commercial Aircraft Engine Co., Ltd. is also one of the important measures for AVIC to integrate into the regional development economic circle.
AVIC Commercial Aircraft Engine Co., Ltd. is registered according to the modern enterprise system with a registered capital of 6 billion yuan. AVIC is the largest shareholder, accounting for 40% of the shares. Shanghai Electric (Group) Corporation and Shanghai Guo Sheng (Group) Co., Ltd. each hold 65,438+05% shares. As for the remaining 30% of the shares, Tan Ruisong, chairman of AVIC Commercial Aircraft Engine Co., Ltd., said that there is a vacant position waiting for the global selection of partners.
In the development of large aircraft, the engine has always been considered as the most important and difficult part, and it is also the place where the technical and technological level of China's aircraft is the biggest gap with foreign countries. Only a few countries can independently develop large aircraft engines, and several European and American engine manufacturers, including General Electric, almost monopolize the global civil aircraft engine market.
