Aero Engine Corporation of China (AECC) is a Chinese state-owned aerospace manufacturer focused on the design and development of aeroengine and related technology. The company was established on August 28, 2016.[1] At launch, AECC was to be capitalised with US$7.5 billion with Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) and Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, Ltd. (COMAC), both shareholders, China's two main state aerospace companies.[2]

AECC consists of 46 affiliate companies, including 22 engine companies, several institutes, 3 aeroengine-repairing factories and some other small companies, with the majority of the affiliate companies having been split from AVIC. The main institutes under AECC are Beijing Institute of Aerial Materials, Shenyang Engine Design and Research Institute, China Gas Turbine Research Institute, China Aero Power Machine Research Institute, Guizhou Aero-Engine Research Institute, and Chine Aero Power Control System Institute. The main subsidiaries of AECC are Harbin Dong'an Engine Manufacturing Company, Shenyang Liming Engine Manufacturing Company, Chengdu Engine Manufacturing Company, Xi'an Aero-Engine Manufacturing Company, Liyang Engine Manufacturing Company, and Shanghai Commercial Aero-Engine Manufacturing Company.

Turboprops[]

Model Name Prototype Status Fitted on Producer Note
WJ-5 AI-24 In production Y-7 Harbin Dong'an Engine(Group) Corporation Previously produced by South Aviation Industry
WJ-6 AI-20M In production Y-8, Y-9, AG-600 South Aviation Industry Corporation
WJ-9 In production Y-12 South Aviation Industry Corporation Core engine is based on WZ-8
AEP50E In production Wing Loong II South Aviation Industry Corporation UAV engine based on WJ-9
AEP80 In development South Aviation Industry Corporation Core engine is based on WZ-9
AEP500[3] In development South Aviation Industry Corporation Civil [verification needed]

The AEP500's 5,000 kW (6,700 hp) equivalent power is similar to the Dash 8 Q400's 4,600 kW Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150, to propel a 74-100 seats airliner at Mach 0.6 and FL300-330. It has a three-shaft layout for compactness and performance retention, the low-pressure compressor has four axial stages while the high-pressure compressor has one axial and one centrifugal stage, both driven by single stages turbines. A demonstrator without the three stage power turbine should be run in 2022/2023, a technology demonstrator in 2025, and certification is targeted for 2035 Takeoff BSFC should be below 260 g/kW/h (0.43 lb/hp/hr). The 5,000-kW was intended for the airlifter and may be introduced in the 2020s. A 5,000-kW engine could power a 110 t (240,000 lb) MTOW airlifter but more for higher performance like the Airbus A400M.[4]

U.S. sanctions[]

In November 2020, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order prohibiting U.S. companies and individuals owning shares in companies that the United States Department of Defense believe have links to the People's Liberation Army.[5][6][7] The list produced by the United States Department of Defense as being linked to the People's Liberation Army includes AECC.[8]
