Qian Xuesen is a famous scientist. One of the founders of modern mechanics in China. He has made many pioneering contributions in the fields of aerodynamics, aviation engineering, jet propulsion, engineering cybernetics, physical mechanics and other technical sciences. He has made outstanding contributions to the establishment and development of China's rocket, missile and space undertakings, and is an advocate of China's system engineering theory and application research.
