Overview of Shanghai Aircraft Research Institute

Shanghai Aircraft Research Institute, also known as the 640th Research Institute of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry, is an aviation scientific research unit engaged in civil aircraft model design and technology development research, and is also affiliated to Shanghai Aviation Industry Corporation. The predecessor of the institute was the 708 engineering design group of Shanghai Aircraft Factory. 197365438+In February, Shanghai 708 Design Institute was set up from Shanghai Aircraft Factory. 1978 10 was renamed Shanghai Aircraft Design Institute and Shanghai Aircraft Design Institute successively, and its current name has been used since 1989 10. The Yun 10 aircraft designed and developed by the Institute from 1970 made its first flight in September 1980. Later, it flew to Beijing, Harbin, Urumqi, Guangzhou and other places, and arrived in Lhasa, Tibet for seven times in a row, which proved that Yun 10 aircraft had good performance and the design was successful. In the development of Yun 10 aircraft, the scientific and technical personnel of the institute widely adopted new technologies, new structures, new materials, new standards and new finished products. At that time, 10 design technology was the first breakthrough in China, and 13 1 was valuable. On the basis of summarizing the development achievements of Yun 10 aircraft, the Institute started the pre-research work of civil aircraft from 1982 and achieved some high-level achievements. In the technical exchange between China and the United States, some projects have been well received by American experts. At the same time, scientific and technical personnel also participated in the compilation of the medium and long-term plan for the development of science and technology in the fourth country. 1988 was commended by the State Science and Technology Commission, the State Planning Commission and the State Economic Commission as an "important contributor" to the study of traffic technology policy in March. From April, 65438 to April, 0985, the Institute undertook the liaison engineering and airworthiness of the Sino-US cooperation MD-82 project, participated in the design of Yun -8 airtight aircraft, and sent personnel to McDonnell Douglas Company in the United States to participate in the international cooperation project of propeller fan technology preparation, which made contributions to exploring the way of international cooperation in developing China civil aircraft. Since the second half of 1986, the institute has undertaken the preliminary demonstration, technical and economic feasibility demonstration, overall scheme demonstration and design tasks of trunk aircraft. After bidding competition, it was approved as the main design unit of trunk aircraft by the leading group of the State Council trunk aircraft and the Ministry of Aerospace in August 1989.

Since 1979, the institute has carried out the policy of "combining military and civilian" and "scientific and technological work serving economic construction", developed civilian products and carried out scientific and technological consulting services on the premise of completing aviation scientific research tasks, and * * * undertook hundreds of various civilian products and technical consulting. Disc stretching machine, refrigerator liquid filling machine, automobile instrument calibration table and many other products have reached the domestic advanced level. The helium airship developed for the Asian Games was successfully launched during the 1 1 Asian Games, which was well received by all walks of life. Since 1986, the institute has also undertaken the task of editing and publishing the publication "Civil Aircraft Design and Research" of the Ministry of Aviation. This journal is a comprehensive quarterly academic exchange, which plays a positive role in improving the professional and technical level of scientific and technical personnel and information exchange at home and abroad. From 1978 to 1990, the institute won 43 scientific and technological achievement awards and 2 product awards at or above the ministerial level. In the activity of establishing civilized units, 1987 to 1988 were awarded as the annual civilized units in Shanghai. 1988, won the title of major contribution unit of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry. By the end of 1990, the institute had 970 employees, including 659 scientific and technical personnel and 235 with senior technical titles. Covering an area of 39,500 square meters and a building area of 20,200 square meters; Fixed assets of 30.596 million yuan, various instruments and equipment 109 1 set. Among them, the imported IBM308 1 mainframe computer system is in a leading position in China. There are more than 97,000 books and materials in the collection.
