Beijing Automotive Group and Beihang Team Up to Make Aircraft

Yesterday, Beijing Automobile Group Co., Ltd. and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics signed a cooperation framework agreement and a sponsor agreement in Beijing to jointly establish “Beijing General Aviation (Group) Co., Ltd.” and will produce, develop, and sell general-purpose aircraft in the future.

The government-led Beiqi Beihang hand in hand, according to the "funders agreement" signed by both parties, the initial registered capital of the Aviation Group is 100 million yuan, headquartered in Beijing, and Beijing Auto Group has invested in cash as a controlling shareholder, and Beihang has invested in technology and intellectual property. The General Aviation Group will use the research and development, manufacturing, sales and after-sales service of general aircraft and related products as its main business, and carry out general aviation technical consultation and general aircraft agency, leasing and related services.

This time Beiqi and Beihang can hold hands and it is under the leadership of the government. The Beijing Urban Master Plan (2004-2020) proposes that in the future Beijing will vigorously develop high-tech industries and actively promote the transformation of economic growth mode and industrial structure adjustment. The navigation industry meets this direction of development.

As a contributor to the General Aviation Group, BAIC Group has the foundation of high-end manufacturing and is also the largest state-owned enterprise in Beijing. Its manufacturing capabilities can provide support for the development of the general aviation industry. Beihang has basically formed a general aviation key technology research platform. It has built three national-level innovation teams in general aviation power, integrated avionics systems, and airworthiness technologies. It has obtained more than 100 patents for inventions and developed various types of models. Navigation products and engineering verification machines have faced numerous industrialization achievements in navigation research.

Low-altitude open nationwide promotion this year At present, Beijing Automotive and Beihang have reached a consensus on the development of the general aviation industry in Beijing: The first is the establishment of general aviation technology independent research and development capabilities and systems, and the development of aerospace engines, avionics equipment, general aviation aircraft and other aviation products; The second is to establish high-end manufacturing capabilities of general aviation products, implement the industrialization of general aviation engines, avionics equipment, and general-purpose aircraft with independent intellectual property rights; third is to enhance the ability of independent innovation and joint ventures and cooperation through the introduction of foreign advanced business models. It is synchronized with international advanced general aviation technology. Fourth, it focuses on establishing a general aviation integrated industrial chain, forming front-end airworthiness technology, mid-end modern high-end manufacturing level, and back-end flight operation service capabilities.

As one of the five low-altitude open pilot regions in the country, Beijing has the comprehensive advantages of developing aerospace industry talents, technologies, bases, and markets. At present, general aviation has become a strategic emerging industry in China's industrial "Twelfth Five-Year Plan". In November 2010, the State Council and the Central Military Commission issued the "Opinions on Deepening the Management Reform of China's Low-Earth and Airspace Areas", and pilots for low-altitude airspace reform since 2011. From the beginning of the year to the promotion of the country.
