"We can see here our major products for gas turbine engine (military and) civil aircraft, like the AEF1200 which we put in a prominent position. This is China's first model with large bypass ratio and high thrust," said Yang Lufeng, vice general manager of the AECC.
The AECC has also set up general aviation and low-altitude economy exhibition zones at the airshow, showcasing diverse products that accommodate emerging markets and new application scenarios.
"Here we have the AEP100 engine that supports general aviation and low-altitude economy, which we have full intellectual property rights. A dual-engine setup can support up to 10-ton transportation aircraft, while our small turbofan engine can be the power choice for high-altitude drones," Yang said.
The airshow will run till Nov. 17.
