The foundation of general aviation industry development is "practical"
Jingdezhen is known as the "cradle of Chinese helicopters."
The aviation industry of Jingdezhen began in 1969 with the national defense strategy. After 50 years of development, it has undergone major processes such as surveying and mapping imitation, reference prototype design, and independent research and development of improvements and modifications. The helicopter Zhi-8 with the largest tonnage in Asia was born, and China’s first military and civilian helicopters were born. There are many “firsts” in the history of Chinese helicopters such as the general-purpose helicopter Zhi-11, the first large-scale civil transport helicopter AC313, and the first light general-purpose helicopter AC311 that passed AEG review. The production and sales of helicopters have increased for three consecutive years, accounting for domestic production. The share of helicopters is more than 60%. In 2019, the total output value of the aviation industry in the city is 25.3 billion yuan, which has established the advanced level and important position of Jingdezhen helicopter R&D and manufacturing in the country.
General Aviation Industry R&D and Manufacturing "Strong"

General aviation industry platform starting point "high"
Jingdezhen City currently has 2 national-level international scientific and technological cooperation bases, 1 national-level enterprise technology center, 2 provincial-level scientific and technological collaborative innovation bodies, 2 Haizhi workstations, 1 industrial innovation alliance, 1 academician workstation, and 1 doctorate Workstations, 1 provincial-level engineering research center, Changfei Company’s physical and chemical testing center, productivity promotion center and other military-civilian integration technology service organizations, as well as 602 helicopter low-speed wind tunnels, electromagnetic compatibility laboratories, noise laboratories, strength laboratories, etc. Key laboratories, including Changfei Company and 602 Institute, were listed as "National Defense Science and Technology Cooperation Base" by the Ministry of Science and Technology.
General aviation industry supporting guarantee "full"
Relying on key scientific research and production units such as Changfei and 602 Institute, Jingdezhen City has made every effort to promote the development of the aviation industry. There are 3 complete machine manufacturing enterprises (Changfei, Jiangzhi, Deli), and more than 50 parts supporting enterprises, which are multi-purpose , Multi-series, multi-model helicopters and aviation parts research and development, production and supporting a relatively complete industrial chain, can provide the general aviation industry with helicopter development, flight test, maintenance, operation and other "one-stop" services.
