Abstract:At present, Continental Aerospace Repair has established a relatively complete integrated industrial chain composed of aircraft body inspection, engine overhaul and related component maintenance. In recent years, the overall stable development of the mainland economy, the aviation industry has shown a high boom trend, the frequency of regular maintenance of aerospace vehicles and route maintenance has increased significantly, and the industry efficiency has increased significantly, attracting a large number of enterprises to pour into the aerospace vehicle repair track. In order to ensure aviation safety, aerospace aircraft repairs are strictly regulated. At the same time, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) actively promotes the reform of "multiple certificates in one" to reduce the cost of enterprises in the real economy and promote the unified implementation of standards by regional administrations. Some aerospace vehicle repair companies have accelerated the integration of resources, and the industry concentration has been effectively improved.
1. Definitions and Classification
Aerospace vehicle repair refers to the process of testing, repairing, troubleshooting, regular inspection, overhaul and modification of various types of flight equipment for transportation, exploration, development, combat and other tasks, or professional repair or upgrading of the fuselage structure that has been scrapped due to damage or life, so as to restore its structural characteristics and functional characteristics and make it meet the reliability of service. Aerospace vehicle repair can be divided into airframe overhaul and modification, component and accessory repair, engine repair and route maintenance.
Second, industry policies
1. Competent authorities and regulatory system
The competent authorities of the aerospace repair industry are the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the Equipment Development Department of the Central Military Commission, and the Civil Aviation Administration of China. The State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is responsible for supervising the formulation and implementation of plans, policies, standards, and laws and regulations for science, technology and industry for national defense, as well as for examining and approving qualifications for scientific research and production of weapons and equipment. The Equipment Development Department of the Central Military Commission is mainly responsible for the centralized and unified leadership of the construction of weapons and equipment throughout the army, supervising and managing the scientific research and production licenses of weapons and equipment throughout the country, and performing the functions of equipment development planning and planning, R&D, testing, and appraisal, procurement management, and information system construction. The Civil Aviation Administration of China is mainly responsible for proposing the development strategy and medium- and long-term planning of the civil aviation industry, drafting draft laws and regulations related to civil aviation transport, draft rules and regulations, Policies and standards; Undertake the supervision responsibility of civil aviation flight safety and ground safety; be responsible for the management of civil aviation air traffic; assume the responsibility of civil aviation defense and safety supervision; formulate civil aircraft accident and accident symptom standards, investigate and deal with civil aircraft accidents in accordance with regulations; be responsible for the supervision and management of the construction and safe operation of civil aviation airports; and assume the responsibility for the supervision and supervision of air transport and general aviation markets.
2. Industry-related policies
In recent years, the mainland has promulgated a series of policies related to the reform of the scientific research and production and supporting support system of the mainland aviation industry, aiming to promote the faster and better development of the aviation industry. In order to strengthen the layout and construction of domestic aerospace vehicle repair capabilities, enhance the core technical and engineering capabilities of maintenance, and improve the quality of industry maintenance, the competent authorities in the industry have successively issued laws, regulations and favorable policies such as the Notice on Supporting the Import Tax Policy of Aviation Equipment for Civil Aviation Maintenance from 2021 to 2030 and the Rules for the Qualification Validation of Civil Aircraft Maintenance Training Institutions. In addition, the "Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalogue (2024 Edition)", which will be implemented from February 1, 2024, will include the maintenance and repair of aircraft and parts, engines and parts, airborne systems and equipment and parts as encouraged projects, providing a good policy environment and strong policy support for industrial development.
Policies related to China's aerospace vehicle repair industry
3. Industry barriers
1. Qualification barriers
Since aerospace vehicle repair is directly related to the reliability of national flight missions, governments around the world have formulated a strict access permit qualification review mechanism for aerospace vehicle repair personnel, enterprises and repair tools. Repair enterprises must obtain the license qualifications issued by China, the United States and other global mainstream airworthiness standard-setting entities, and some military aerospace vehicle repair enterprises also need to obtain relevant qualifications for military business before they can engage in repair business. In addition, enterprises engaged in aerospace vehicle repair business need to regularly renew audits after obtaining the corresponding licenses, thus forming a high qualification barrier.
2. Technical and talent barriers
Aerospace vehicle repair is a typical technology-intensive industry, and the precision of airframe parts puts forward extremely high requirements for the professionalism of repair personnel. At the same time, the division of labor in aerospace vehicle repair is relatively fine, and different subdivisions have different requirements for repair technology and repair capabilities, thus forming high technical barriers. At the same time, aerospace vehicle repair involves many technical and scientific categories, to use mechanics, thermal, aerodynamics, optics, acoustics and many other scientific theories, the need for relevant enterprises to have professional and technical personnel and rich experience accumulation, so as to form a high talent barrier.
3. Financial barriers
According to the regulations, units engaged in aerospace vehicle repair business should have a repair working environment and workshop, fixed office, training, storage places and facilities that meet the requirements. In order to ensure that the aerospace vehicle is repaired on time and on time, the relevant enterprises must prepare a large inventory of aviation materials and spare parts according to the business to be carried out, and the maintenance must be carried out with the help of professional equipment, and the capital investment in self-made or purchased related raw materials, parts and equipment is large. With the gradual deepening of the application of science and technology such as cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, network security and new materials in aircraft and their parts, relevant repair companies need to continuously upgrade their technology and equipment, which makes the maintenance cost of enterprises high and forms high financial barriers.
Fourth, the industrial chain
1. Analysis of the industry chain
The upstream of the aerospace vehicle repair industry chain is mainly a supplier of aviation materials such as graphite fiber, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, electronic components, and accessories of the Ministry of Aviation. The working environment of aerospace vehicles is relatively complex, and its strength, weight, cold resistance, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance are required, so aluminum alloy, titanium alloy or stainless steel with superior properties are usually used as structural materials. This kind of metal materials have a high degree of marketization and are relatively sufficient. Graphite fiber, electronic components and other new composite products are currently in the stage of rapid development, market demand continues to grow, and their price fluctuations have become an important influencing factor for the development of the continental aerospace vehicle repair industry.
The downstream of the industrial chain is mainly for civil aviation, military aviation and aviation logistics and other application fields. With the continuous development of the national economy, the state continues to increase investment in national defense, and the market demand of the air transport industry is also expanding rapidly, providing a larger potential market for domestic aviation repair enterprises. At the same time, the core manufacturing technology or technical parameters of domestic aerospace engines, airframes, airborne equipment and other components are expected to be mastered and controlled by China, so as to provide an opportunity for domestic enterprises to improve repair technology and expand the scope of repair business, and drive the rapid development of the domestic aerospace repair market.
