TIANJIN, China, March 31. ACCEL (Tianjin) Flight Simulation Co., Ltd. won a contract from Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute (SADRI) for the visual system of its human-in-the-loop flight simulation test platform for the ARJ21 aircraft series. ACCEL said the award recognized its products, technology and service capabilities.
Since its founding, ACCEL has supplied simulation technology, products and services for commercial aircraft platforms. The company said its delivered systems had been well received by customers and end users. SADRI is the design and research center of Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) and the country’s largest civil aircraft research and development center. It leads technical work on Chinese civil aircraft programs, including design, testing and verification, airworthiness certification and development of key technologies. The contract applies ACCEL’s technology to a Chinese-built aircraft platform and lays the groundwork for further work between the two organizations.
“ACCEL has long supported the development of Chinese aircraft, and our strategy is closely aligned with COMAC’s,” said David Kong, then general manager of ACCEL. “This contract marks the start of a longer-term partnership. We will do all we can to support the development of Chinese aircraft.”
ACCEL said it would continue working with its partners to support civil aviation and the development of China’s large civil aircraft programs.
