China's First All-Composite Business Aircraft Has Rolled off the

In the middle of November, the AVIC General Aircraft Co., Ltd. held a signing ceremony in Zhuhai in honor of the Primus 150. The Primus 150 is China's first all-composite business aircraft with the intellectual property rights owned by China, and has rolled off the production line. The AVIC General Aircraft Co., Ltd. signed an order at the ceremony to sell 8 Primus 150s.

Tan Ruisong, general manager of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, along with Meng Xiangkai, chairman of the AVIC General Aircraft Co., Ltd. and relative officers from the Ministry of Finance and Guangdong Province and some of the shareholders of the AVIC General Aircraft Co., Ltd. were all in attendance at the ceremony.

The Primus 150, a new 5-to-6-seat, single-engine, turboprop, allcomposite light aircraft is developed by the AVIC General Aircraft Co., Ltd. in accordance to both the CCAR23 and the FAR23. As a globeoriented business aircraft, the Primus 150 is also the first general aircraft developed by the AVIC after the opinions of the State Council and the Central Military Commission regarding the Deepening of the Reform of China's Low-altitude Airspace Management was issued. The aircraft was designed with a strong focus on private flights and business aircraft operators.

In June of this year, the development of the Primus 150 was officially approved by the AVIC who fully accelerated the process. Among similar single-engine aircraft all over the world, the Primus 150 has the fastest top speed. The aircraft is simple in structure, light in weight, high in speed, safe, comfortable and economical. Its maximum speed can reach 600km/h and the maximum range can reach 2,500 km. Daring attempts at exploration had been made while designing the structure and selecting the materials for the aircraft. The whole airframe had been made of carbon fiber composites, which significantly improves relative performance indexes. The aircraft has a friendly interface, an advanced avionics system, easy-to-use control mechanisms and quality interior furnishings, such as comfortable leather seats, noise-proof honeycomb layers and a positive pressure cabin, which fully marks a perfect combination of aviation technology with modern aesthetics.

11 月中旬，中航工业通用飞机有限责 任公司（简称“中航工业通飞”）在珠海基 地举行领航150 飞机原型机下线揭幕暨签约 仪式，中国首款具有自主知识产权的全复合 材料轻型公务机总装下线，并在现场签订8 架启动用户订单。
