1906, after graduating from Quan Min Normal School, Liu Zuocheng, a native of Yong 'an, Fujian, and Li Baoyu, a fellow countryman, were selected by the Qing government to study in Japan, and studied in Engineering Aviation School and Waseda University successively. Encouraged by the successful development and test flight of the Wright brothers in the United States and Feng Ru, an overseas Chinese living in the United States, Liu and Li actively devoted themselves to the development of aircraft. With the support of some patriotic overseas Chinese, Liu and Li collaborated to produce "Plane One". Due to the inconvenience of using the Japanese airport, Xuantong built a factory shed on the playground of the First Army in Yindian, Nanyuan, Beijing, at the call of the Qing government in August of the following year, funded by the Military Advisory Office. 19 1 1 April, 2008, Liu and Li Chenggong made a test flight of the homemade "airplane No.2", but they failed to fall due to the damage of the engine crankshaft during the flight. Liu Zuocheng was seriously injured and never flew again.

19101019, Li Baoyu and Liu Zuocheng decided to initiate the establishment of the Aviation Research Association, and published the Launch and Introduction of the Aviation Research Association in Ta Kung Pao to remind Chinese people that the world aviation industry has just started, and China should seize the opportunity: "Don't! 191kloc-0/0 In February, Shanghai Oriental Magazine published Li Baoyu's aircraft research report, which became the earliest aviation paper in China. Li had a correct understanding of aircraft before 19 10, especially put forward the idea of "afterburning and propulsion" (that is, jet propulsion), which was more than 30 years earlier than the appearance of jet aircraft. Li Baoyu died in Nanjing on August 26th 19 12 at the age of 26, becoming a pioneer of aviation in China.

1In August, 909, the Qing government sent students to study in the UK when preparing for the overseas inspection of navy ministers Zai Xun and Sa Zhenbing. 19 15, these students transferred to the United States to study, including Ba Yuzao from Inner Mongolia and Zeng Yijing from Fujian. They studied shipbuilding first and then aircraft manufacturing. 19 17 returned to China in February.

Beiyang government wants to set up diving schools to train professionals in navigation and aviation manufacturing. The schools are located in Dagu, Shanghai and Fuzhou. As a result, Fuzhou Mawei was chosen, probably because there were many Fujian people in the navy at that time. 1965438+In March and April of 2008, the Navy Department of Beiyang Government attached a diving school to Mawei Naval School, and set up a naval aircraft engineering department in the Naval Ship Bureau, with Ba Yuzao and Zeng Yijing responsible for manufacturing aircraft. At that time, steel, aluminum and other metal materials used for aircraft manufacturing were not produced at home, and only foreign products could be used, but other materials, such as wood and paint, were produced in Fujian. Naval Aircraft Engineering Office is the first official aircraft manufacturing factory in Chinese history.

1925, the May 30th massacre occurred in Shanghai, and the provincial and port strikes and the Xia Ji massacre occurred in Guangdong. The imperialist atrocities aroused the anti-imperialist patriotic movement of the people of China. Jacky (Putian, Fujian), a pilot studying in France, promoted aviation to save the country in the Philippines, and initiated the organization of the Overseas Chinese Flying Team and the Preparatory Committee of Fujian Civil Aviation School. He chose Wu Tong, Heshan, Xiamen as the school site and established Xiamen Civil Aviation School on June 1928+00. Later, due to financial difficulties, it could not be maintained and had to be merged into Guangdong Aviation School. 1934 In May, Jacky designed and manufactured the early glider of China in Liuzhou Machinery Factory, and the test flight was successful.

Chen Wenlin, a Fujian native who graduated from the flying school in Hamburg, Germany, once bought an A-Bian plane from Avro Company in Britain, set out from Britain on March 1929, and flew to Xiamen via Germany, Greece, India and other countries on May 12, becoming the first person in China to successfully complete an international long-distance flight. 1On July 9, 933, Chen Wenlin and Pan flew from Xiamen to Shanghai on a homemade "Jiangque" plane, changed their engines and passed through many places, and returned to Xiamen on 10/October 22. On June 5th, 1933, Zeng Yijing and foreign pilot Pu Li set off from Shanghai and made a long flight along the Yangtze River. These were successful long-distance flights of domestic aircraft at that time.
