On November 17th, the signing ceremony for the "Ductless Tunneling Propelled Aircraft Research Institute of Dawn Group - Xi'an Jiaotong University" was held at the Xingqing Campus of Xi'an Jiaotong University, which aimed to focus on technological innovation in all-electric ducted motors, create a model of industry-education integration, and serve the needs of national economic development and national defense construction. Zhang Liqun, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and President of Xi'an Jiaotong University, and Yu Xiaoning, Chairman and President of Dawn Group, attended the event and delivered speeches.

In the presence of Shao Jinyou, Executive Vice President of the Research Institute of Xi'an Jiaotong University; Zhang Aiping, Party Secretary of the School of Aerospace Engineering; Zhang Wenxue, Deputy Director of the Party and University Office and Director of the University-Local Cooperation Office; and relevant experts, along with Song Huidong, Vice President of Dawn Group, and Yu Hui, Minister of Market Management Department, Chen Juan, Vice President of the Research Institute of Xi'an Jiaotong University and Director of the Industry-Education Integration and Achievement Transformation Department, and Zou Binghuan, General Manager of Dawn Mould Plastic Co., Ltd. and Dawn-SWT Technology Co., Ltd., signed a memorandum of cooperation.

As a core technological path for low-altitude economy and air transportation systems, ductless tunneling propelled aircraft , with their superior aerodynamic performance and significant safety advantages, are gradually reshaping the future industrial landscape of air transportation. Xi'an Jiaotong University has a deep accumulation of expertise in aircraft research and development, possessing top-notch research teams and talent resources, providing solid intellectual support and technical assurance for this collaboration.

Dawn Mould Plastic Co., Ltd is a backbone enterprise in the Dawn Polymer New Materials industrial chain. It is undergoing a comprehensive strategic transformation and upgrading towards high-end equipment manufacturing. In the future, it will be committed to building a professional platform that integrates precision mold development, parts manufacturing and whole machine assembly in the fields of drones and robots. It will work closely with the research institute to achieve seamless integration from technology research and development to product manufacturing and build an innovation closed loop that deeply integrates industry, academia and research.

In the view of Chairman Yu Xiaoning, this collaboration is not only a powerful alliance between the university and the enterprise at the technological level, but also a deep integration in terms of innovation ecosystem construction, industrial chain collaboration, and talent resource integration. "We are committed to seizing the commanding heights of low-altitude economic development. Taking the joint construction of the research institute as an opportunity, we will systematically integrate resources across the entire industry-academia-research-application chain, jointly break through key technological bottlenecks, promote the efficient transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and expand the large-scale application of ducted-engine aircraft in multiple scenarios such as logistics distribution, emergency rescue, and urban commuting."
