Engine News Briefs: AECC & AVIC

.Two updates on China’s independently developed civil aviation engines.

Before we get into today’s engine news, I want to extend a warm welcome to new subscribers. Thank you for your interest in China eVTOL News—it truly means a lot.

I launched this newsletter to help fill a gap in English-language reporting on China’s aviation sector.

With more than 13 years of experience living and working in Asia—covering aviation, collaborating with civil aviation authorities, and leading multilateral air transport projects—I aim to provide accurate, timely, and insightful updates on China’s eVTOL and aviation developments.

Fair warning—these articles drop frequently, which can be a bit much at times, and the content is mainly for paid subscribers. If you’re a free subscriber, I won’t be offended if you unsubscribe, but a paid subscription gives you access to 700+ reports, making it easier to track China’s rapidly evolving aviation landscape.

Paid subscribers can also submit requests for specific topics. And your subscription helps keep this newsletter going.

(Saying this, you can also find some of my work in Aviation International News, Aviation Week, and the Vertical Flight Society).

Today, we start with two updates on Chinese civil aviation engines, from AVIC and AECC, highlighting recent milestones in turboshaft and turboprop technology.

Let’s get into it.
