TIANJIN, China, September 12, 2018. ACCEL (Tianjin) Flight Simulation Co., Ltd. and Civil Aviation University of China announced a strategic partnership to improve the performance of flight training simulators made in China. The partnership would also give faculty and students opportunities to work with emerging simulation technology and strengthen teaching and research.
The partnership established a framework for collaboration in flight simulation and training. As a locally based company, ACCEL would draw on its industry experience to train the university’s faculty and students in simulation research and development. Through academic exchanges, the partners planned to advance projects in simulation concepts, aviation technology and pilot training, with the aim of improving aviation safety in China.
“This partnership between Civil Aviation University of China and ACCEL will bring direct benefits to students and support the development of China’s aviation supply chain,” David Kong, then general manager of ACCEL, said at the signing. “ACCEL is honored to work with the university toward our shared goal of making air travel safer.”
“This brings together two organizations with complementary strengths,” said university president Professor Dong Jiankang. “ACCEL, the high-tech simulation company formed by Rockwell Collins and Haite, represents a new source of growth in Chinese industry. The university brings a detailed understanding of aviation education and training requirements and how to meet them. This agreement gives us an international platform to work together on pilot training and aviation safety.”
