On November 11, the Civil Aviation University of China and CATL signed a cooperation agreement in Ningde, Fujian Province, to jointly establish the Aviation Battery Airworthiness Technology Innovation Joint Laboratory. The laboratory will focus on aviation pure electric and hybrid energy systems as well as low-altitude application scenarios, conducting research on airworthiness standards and compliance verification methods. The two parties will work together to draft and revise civil aviation technical standards and industry association standards, and to improve the airworthiness regulatory framework. They will also build a testing and verification platform to strengthen aviation battery safety testing and airworthiness verification capabilities, raise the industry's safety standards, and jointly cultivate talent in the aviation sector. Furthermore, they will promote the reform of emerging engineering disciplines, advance industry-education integration, develop school-enterprise cooperative training courses, and strengthen the pipeline of electric aviation talent.
