Serving the first user domestic civilian turbhaft engine AES100 will assemble the "Rainbow" drone

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 3 (Reporter Song Chen) The reporter learned from China Aviation Engine Group Co., Ltd. that 1,000 kilowatts of advanced civil turboshaft engines independently developed by China Aviation Development AES100 recently signed the first pioneer user, China Aviation Movement Research Institute Southern Corporation signed an engine procurement contract with Aerospace Technology Rainbow Company, and the AES100 engine will provide motivation for the "Rainbow" large -scale dumping drone.

It is reported that the AES100 is the first type of international competitiveness and complete self -contained intellectual property rights in my country. It has the advantages of high efficiency, long life, high reliability, high power reserves and good developmentability, which can satisfy the satisfaction, which can satisfy the satisfaction. Power needs of 5 to 6 -ton dual -hair and 3 to 4 -ton single -shot helicopter. The "Rainbow" drone of this assembly is the first domestic rotary rotor machine. It combines helicopter and fixed -wing aircraft technology. It is vertically taken off and landing in the helicopter mode and cruise quickly in the fixed -wing aircraft mode.

The AES100 engine was developed in 2016, and in July 2021, the double -hair installation helicopter successfully flew for the first time. At present, the AES100 engine is accelerating the design and verification iteration, and the long life, structural integrity, leaf tolerance, freezing, fire prevention and other verifications, and actively move towards the target of air ticket collection.

The successful development of the AES100 engine project will further improve the research and development system of my country's civilian turbhaft engine. The turboprops, turbofan engines and hybrid systems derived from the AES100 are developing simultaneously, which will form a good situation of familyization, series of integration and development, and promote the industrialization of civil aviation engines in my country.
