To deepen industry–education integration, build a bridge for collaborative talent development between universities and enterprises, and facilitate the seamless connection between academic learning and industrial practice, on June 23, Shaanxi Zhongkeyuantai Power Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Zhongkeyuan Power”) welcomed a visit from 85 faculty members and students of the Department of Materials Physics and Chemistry at Xi’an Technological University for an educational tour and research session. The company’s technical director provided a comprehensive guided briefing throughout the visit, showcasing the firm’s cutting-edge technological capabilities across the entire R&D, intelligent manufacturing, and testing value chain of domestically developed aerospace rotor engines, while jointly exploring new pathways for the development of the low‑altitude economy and for cultivating skilled professionals.

Immersive exhibition‑based learning: gaining insight into the path of independent innovation in China’s domestic aeroengine industry.

The faculty and students first toured the company’s comprehensive exhibition hall, where the guide provided a systematic overview of the development trends in the low‑altitude economy, the century‑long technological evolution of rotor engines, and Zhongke Power’s portfolio of self‑developed products.

Aircraft models, physical prototypes of serial‑produced rotary engines, hybrid propulsion systems, and in‑house‑developed ECU control units are displayed in sequence, clearly illustrating the company’s comprehensive technological roadmap—from air‑cooled and water‑cooled rotary engines to hybrid powertrains. In response to China’s critical bottleneck in aviation propulsion, the presentation highlighted the company’s full‑stack, self‑developed technological advantages: its independently designed electronic control system has filled a significant technical gap, with products widely adaptable to diverse applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned helicopters, loitering munitions, and specialized ground and marine platforms, thereby providing an autonomous, domestically produced power solution for the low‑altitude domain.

The company’s leader shared on-site the company’s original vision: “Deeply rooted in aero‑engine development, empowering the low‑altitude sector; with our hearts set on the vast skies and our aspirations reaching for the heights. We are harnessing new‑type productive forces, steadfastly pursuing independent technological innovation, and committed to forging a reliable ‘Chinese heart’ for the development of China’s low‑altitude economy and general aviation.” Meanwhile, young students had the opportunity to engage up close with cutting‑edge aerospace equipment, gaining a firsthand sense of the innovative mission and patriotic responsibility of domestic aviation‑power enterprises.

Step into the smart manufacturing workshop and experience the spirit of lean manufacturing craftsmanship.

Subsequently, teachers and students visited the engine production and assembly workshop to observe firsthand the seven standardized production processes of an aero‑rotor engine: incoming inspection of components, preliminary component assembly, main‑body assembly, electrical and hydraulic line integration, full‑engine commissioning, final product testing, and storage‑and‑packaging.

Technical engineers meticulously dissect the core principles of engine assembly, rigorously adhering to the assembly guidelines of “internal before external, lower before upper, core components before accessories, mechanical systems before electronic systems.” They implement micron‑level precision control over cleanliness, assembly torque, and fit tolerances throughout the entire production process. On the workshop walls, slogans such as “Precision Assembly—Zero Errors; Lean Manufacturing—Zero Defects” and “A Difference of a Single Thread Determines Superiority or Inferiority” vividly embody the company’s quality‑centric manufacturing culture, embedding a rigorous, responsible craftsman spirit into every step of the process and at every workstation.

On-site faculty and students paused to observe the assembly process in detail, proactively posing questions on specialized topics such as precision machining, material compatibility, and process optimization. Frontline engineers, drawing on their hands-on industry experience, provided thorough answers one by one, thereby forging a deep connection between theoretical knowledge and real-world industrial manufacturing.

Visiting the full‑chain testing center, witnessing the extreme reliability of aerospace propulsion systems.

In the Enterprise Testing Technology Zone, faculty and students gained a comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end validation testing system established by Zhongke Power, which encompasses laboratory bench testing, ground‑based simulation of extreme operating conditions, evaluation in high‑altitude, cold‑climate environments, and full‑chain verification through field‑based flight tests.

The guide explained that every aircraft engine leaving the production line must undergo rigorous environmental‑simulation tests—covering extreme high and low temperatures as well as high‑altitude conditions—and endure hundreds of hours of endurance evaluations, thoroughly validating its power‑train stability and operational safety before it can be integrated into the complex flight scenarios of various aircraft. The exhibition panels, with their detailed test procedures and real‑world examples of high‑altitude flight trials, vividly demonstrate the company’s unwavering commitment to aviation safety through uncompromising testing standards. The corporate philosophy of “serving the nation through aviation and building a strong aviation nation” deeply resonated with the faculty and students in attendance.

Universities and enterprises join forces for long-term development, collaboratively cultivating the next generation of talent for the low-altitude industry.

This study‑tour event concluded successfully, enabling teachers and students from Xi’an University of Technology to gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire industrialization chain of aerospace rotor engines, deepen their insight into the development prospects of the low‑altitude economy and high‑end equipment manufacturing sectors, and truly appreciate Zhongke Power’s corporate ethos of “innovation, breakthrough, and pragmatism.”

The two parties reached a consensus on-site to continue deepening industry–university–research collaboration in the future: leveraging corporate technology platforms and university disciplinary resources, they will engage in multi‑dimensional, in‑depth cooperation—including joint research initiatives, internship programs, targeted talent recruitment, and co‑development of specialized academic projects—while establishing a long‑term mechanism for two‑way knowledge exchange.

Zhongke Power stated that it will continue to leverage the industrial strengths of a high-tech enterprise, open up practical teaching platforms, and attract outstanding young talent from universities to join the domestic aviation‑power sector. By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, it aims to drive the upgrading of the high‑end equipment manufacturing industry and sustainably inject both technological innovation and human capital into the high‑quality development of the low‑altitude economy.
