Cranfield University has sealed an agreement with a major state-owned Chinese aviation corporation to train 150 of the company’s engineers in aircraft and jet engine design, with the aim of creating a 130-seat airliner.

Cranfield will use its expertise in aerospace engineering and power and propulsion to develop the Civil Aircraft and Engine Team Training Programmes together with China Aviation Industry Corporation I (AVIC I).

It will train, at postgraduate level, 25 engineers in civil aircraft design and 25 in jet engine design each year for three years.

The initiative is part of a wider drive by the Chinese aviation industry to invest in civil aviation and propulsion systems by training large numbers of aircraft and gas turbine engine design engineers.

The wholly postgraduate University has been at the forefront of aerospace technology for 60 years, with clients including Airbus, Boeing, Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems. It has prepared top engineers for careers in the aerospace sector for decades and was formerly the College of Aeronautics and Cranfield Institute of Technology.

AVIC I’s extensive research and development programme comprises numerous Chinese research institutes, key national laboratories and groups of academics from the China Academy of Science and the China Academy of Engineering.
