The "dark horse" that topped the National Science and Technology Award

As a private aerospace enterprise, it is not easy for Blue Arrow Aerospace to "shine its sword" on the stage of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. This award has always been regarded as the "highest palace" of domestic scientific and technological innovation, which means that it is recognized and encouraged by scientific research institutions and even the entire industry.

In just about ten years, Blue Arrow Aerospace has gradually developed from a start-up to one of the leading commercial aerospace companies in China. From the successful launch of the Suzaku 2 carrier rocket for the first time to the National Science and Technology Progress Award this time, Blue Arrow Aerospace has undoubtedly become a "dark horse" in China's commercial aerospace field in recent years.

Behind this achievement, it reflects the continuous innovation strength of China's private aerospace enterprises. In response to the award-winning project, Liu Lei, general manager of the R&D department and power manufacturing base of Blue Arrow Aerospace Power, told reporters that the R&D team has achieved breakthroughs in key technologies such as multiphase flow, fluid power design, and coaxial pump structure optimization through the meticulous design of the liquid oxygen methane turbine pump, which has injected strong power into the "Tianque" series of liquid oxygen methane engines of Blue Arrow Company.

At the same time, the success of this project has also filled the gap in the relevant technical fields in China, making the mainland the first country in the world to achieve a continuous launch of liquid oxygen methane rockets. This has undoubtedly enhanced the discourse and influence of China's commercial aerospace on a global scale.

The innovative power of civil aerospace

Looking back at the development process of Blue Arrow Aerospace, it is not difficult to find that private enterprises are playing an increasingly key role in promoting the take-off of China's aerospace industry.

Since the reform and opening up, although China's aerospace industry has been dominated by state-owned enterprises, since the beginning of the new century, with the continuous introduction of policies and measures to encourage private capital to enter the aerospace field, private aerospace enterprises have shown a vigorous development trend.

From the initial small rocket test to the ability to independently develop large launch vehicles, the development trajectory of Blue Arrow Aerospace also reflects the entire process of the rise of China's commercial aerospace. In just ten years, this private enterprise has taken the lead in achieving a number of "first" and "unique" breakthroughs in the domestic commercial aerospace field by virtue of independent innovation, demonstrating the strong strength of China's new generation of private aerospace enterprises to the outside world.

Compared with traditional state-owned aerospace giants, private enterprises have stronger market awareness, innovation momentum and flexible mechanisms, and can more accurately grasp user needs and accelerate the transformation of aerospace technology into applications. For example, when Blue Arrow Aerospace developed the "Tianque" series of liquid oxygen methane engines, it focused on the development needs of the future commercial aerospace market.

By continuously optimizing the engine design, Blue Arrow Aerospace not only created the first liquid oxygen methane rocket in continuous orbit in China, but also laid the foundation for the development of the next generation of reusable rockets. This is the innovative advantage and market insight that private enterprises have - they know how to use scientific and technological achievements to meet the needs of users, so as to promote the progress of the entire industry.

This innovation stems from a forward-looking vision of the future, as well as an enterprising spirit that dares to challenge and surpass. This spirit has inspired more and more private aerospace enterprises to join this ever-changing track and promote China's aerospace industry to a broader blue sky.

The integration of civil aviation that carries the power of the country

Blue Arrow Aerospace can emerge in the national science and technology awards, which is not only a personal achievement of a private enterprise, but also a milestone in the history of China's commercial aerospace development. Behind this achievement, it reflects the deepening development trend of civil aviation integration.

In recent years, with the support and guidance of national forces, private aerospace enterprises are deeply integrating with traditional state-owned aerospace giants. This integration is not only reflected in the coordination of the upstream and downstream industrial chains, but also in the exchange and innovation of key core technologies.

Taking Blue Arrow Aerospace as an example, the company's breakthrough in key technology research and development has not only benefited its own products, but also brought new development opportunities to the entire industry. This award-winning turbopump technology can not only be applied to the "Tianque" series engine of Blue Arrow Aerospace, but also provide strong support for the subsequent development of the Suzaku series of rockets and even other liquid oxygen methane engines.

This development model of "promoting the military with the people" not only enhances the innovation ability of domestic commercial aerospace enterprises, but also injects new momentum into the development of military-civilian integration. Under the guidance of the national strategy, the integration of civil aviation is becoming an important driving force to promote the overall leap of China's aerospace industry.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to Blue Arrow Aerospace, a number of private aerospace enterprises in China have also risen one after another, beginning to overcome some key technical problems, and contributing to the realization of the independent and controllable aerospace industry in the mainland. For example, Tianyi Research Institute, Interstellar Glory, Tianyi Xingyuan, etc., have successively made a series of important breakthroughs in rocket research and development, space exploration and other fields.

These private enterprises are not working alone, but are carrying out extensive technical exchanges and cooperation with state-owned aerospace giants. In this process, the two sides complement each other's advantages and form a benign interaction. State-owned enterprises provide technology accumulation and policy support, while private enterprises give full play to the advantages of flexible mechanisms and market insight to jointly promote the rapid progress of China's aerospace technology.

Therefore, this achievement of Blue Arrow Aerospace is not only a personal feat of a private enterprise, but also an important milestone in the history of China's commercial aerospace development. It doesn't just highlight the medium

The innovative power of private aerospace enterprises will also become a new engine leading China's aerospace industry to create new glories.

Driven by policy incentives and market demand, more and more private enterprises are showing their strength in the aerospace field and becoming a new force leading innovation. For example, the Tianyi Research Institute has made a series of breakthroughs in the development of spacecraft payloads and interstellar exploration, injecting new momentum into the innovation and development of the mainland's aerospace industry. Interstellar Glory continues to make progress in key areas such as rocket engines and reusable spacecraft, contributing to the development of the future commercial space market.

This development trend of civil aviation integration will further stimulate the innovation vitality of the aerospace industry. In the future, the traditional state-owned aerospace giants will continue to provide technology and policy support for private enterprises, and private enterprises will also play a greater role in flexible mechanisms and market awareness, and jointly promote China's aerospace industry to achieve a new leap.

Blue Arrow Aerospace's award is just a microcosm. With the growth of more and more private enterprises, the breadth and depth of the mainland's aerospace technology innovation will be comprehensively improved, and greater contributions will be made to the realization of the grand goal of "space power". From the award of the National Science and Technology Award, it is not difficult for us to see that the private aerospace industry is steadily advancing towards the goal of "soaring into the sky".
