Since the 1970s, Rolls-Royce has deepened its relationship with China. It has developed technical and managerial training programs with a range of Chinese organizations, including AVIC, CAAC, and several government ministries. In particular, Rolls-Royce collaborates with CAAC in operating a joint facility in Tianjin, established in 1997, for the training of technicians, engineers, and managers (“Rolls-Royce China”; “History,” 2009).
In addition, Rolls-Royce is involved in a number of research pro-grams with Chinese universities and research institutes in the area of aerospace engine technology. These include the Joint Engineering Team (JET) program with AVIC and a more recent (February 2009) joint research project with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) focus-ing on new manufacturing techniques and materials for low-pressure turbine blades. In July 2010, Rolls-Royce signed an MOU with HAIG regarding collaboration in composite-materials research (“Rolls-Royce: Procurement in China to Increase Three- to Four-fold over the Next Five-to-Eight Years,” 2010).
The Safran Group
Safran Turbomeca and AVIC II started working together in the 1980s, when Turbomeca granted the China National South Aero Engine Cor-poration (SAEC) a production license for the Arriel 1 engine for the Z-9 helicopter. Today, Turbomeca is the leading helicopter engine-maker in China, with 500 engines serving in both the civilian and military sectors, equipping roughly half of the Chinese helicopter fleet (“Turbomeca [Safran Group] Signs Agreement for Training Programs in China,” 2009). In 2005, Turbomeca secured a major contract for 200 Arriel 2C turboshaft engines from AVIC II, along with a par-tial production license. In connection with the contract, a coopera-tion framework agreement was signed, providing for increased col-laboration with the Chinese aerospace engine industry. Turbomeca’s first manufacturing joint venture in China was the Beijing Turbomeca Changkong Aero-Engine Control Equipment Co., Ltd., a partnership with AVIC subsidiary Beijing Changkong Machinery, established in 2006. The facility assembles and tests fuel-control units and hydro-mechanical units of turboshaft engines for both Turbomeca and Beijing Changkong (“Signature Between Turbomeca and Beijing Changkong Machinery for a Joint Venture Company,” 2006). In late
2009, Turbomeca formed another partnership with the Civil Aviation Flight University of China (CAFUC). The new venture will develop a Turbomeca maintenance training program in Chengdu to qualify advanced line-maintenance engineers (“Turbomeca [Safran Group] Signs Agreement for Training Programs in China,” 2009). In early 2009, Turbomeca revealed that it was participating in a 50-50 joint venture with AVIC to develop a new-generation 1,500-kW turboshaft engine, to be manufactured primarily in China. The project was said to be the first joint development of an aerospace engine between China and a Western aerospace company (Zhang and Liu, 2009, p. 50). Sub-sequently, Turbomeca confirmed that it was co-developing a derivative of its Ardiden engine with China to power the Z-15/EC-175 medium helicopter. The Z-15 is expected to be dual-use, and the new engine would allow the Chinese to avoid potential U.S. embargoes on its origi-nal Pratt & Whitney engine. Turbomeca engines have already been licensed by the French government for military export (Morris, 2010). The Safran Group also has the following joint ventures in China:
