Projects and Major Missions

Advanced Aerodynamic Design for High-Performance Turbomachinery: focuses on developing and applying a complete turbomachinery aerodynamic design system, featuring proprietary large-scale internal flow CFD and optimization tools. It supports multi-stage numerical simulation from component to engine-airframe integration. Key project outcomes include the design of China's highest-pressure ratio two-stage axial fan, breakthroughs in variable cycle engine fan matching, and the development of cutting-edge aerodynamic technologies.

Intelligent Control & Hybrid Propulsion Integration: centers on mastering core technologies in aero-engine system modeling, digital twin, intelligent control, and health management. Key project outcomes include the first domestic flight validation of a 70 kW parallel hybrid propulsion system, the model-based and data-integrated virtual engine operating system, and edge-cloud collaborative integrated development environment for system analysis and simulation.
