AECC Commercial Aircraft Engines

AECC Commercial Aircraft Engines is a specialist state-owned enterprise responsible for the design, development, and manufacture of high-bypass turbofan engines for civil aviation. Situated as the primary engine original equipment manufacturer within the Chinese aerospace ecosystem, the organisation aims to provide domestic alternatives to Western propulsion systems. It operates under the wider Aero Engine Corporation of China . Its primary development focus is the CJ-1000 series, intended to power the COMAC C919 narrow-body airliner. The organisation is also engaged in the development of the larger CJ-2000 engine for wide-body applications, such as the CR929 project. These programmes involve extensive coordination with the Aviation Industry Corporation of China and various international component sub-suppliers for nacelles and engine control systems. Prospective partners should verify the current status of airworthiness certification with the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. Attention must be paid to export control regulations concerning the transfer of dual-use technologies. Buyers should also evaluate the maturity of the domestic supply chain and the established global maintenance, repair, and overhaul infrastructure for these specific powerplants.
