China begins construction of new aeroengine test facility

Chengdu, Feb 17 (UNI) China's first privately funded aeroengine test facility has begun construction in Chongzhou, Sichuan Province.
The groundbreaking ceremony on Feb. 13 marked the official launch of the 2.25-billion-yuan (about 314 million U.S. dollars) project, led by ZhongFaTianXin (SiChuan) Aviation Technology Co., Ltd, which aims to address long-standing challenges in high-altitude testing for small and medium-sized aircraft engines, according to the publicity office of the Chongzhou municipal government.
Slated for completion by 2027, the facility, also a light aircraft engine production base, will provide critical research and development support for next-generation aircraft, including drones, flying cars, and low-altitude vehicles, while advancing China's burgeoning low-altitude economy, said Liu Chen, chairman of ZhongfaTianxin.
