The Aero Engine Cooperation of China is the responsible body for the development of the aero-engine of the “Two Engine” project and is also regarded as a major base underpinning the national aero-engine industry. On June 28th, Xiamen University signed a strategic cooperation contract with the Aero Engine Cooperation of China.
