Aviation technology is one of the most rapidly developing fields since the 20th century and is also a key force in determining economic development and social progress.Accelerating technological innovation,promoting scientific progress and achieving independent control of core technologies has become national development strategy.
With the global promotion of a low-carbon economy and a green environment, new energy propulsion technology has become an important development direction for the world's aviation power systems. In response to the global warming crisis, seven aviation manufacturers have pledged to support the aviation industry's ambitious goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 through the development of new aircraft and propulsion systems. For them, the development of new energy power and electric aircraft is one of the most reliable ways to achieve this goal, not only out of concern for mankind in terms of the environment, but also as a strategy to deal with today's rising fuel costs, oil stocks and other crisis.
