Concentrating on jets with more than 150 seats, the company will use domestic technology to create a completely new engine that costs less than imported models.
A new company has been set up to conduct the necessary research and development. It aims to become a major provider of engines as China's air travel industry expands. The company was funded by one of China's state-owned aviation groups, along with local enterprises in Shanghai.
