Yin Zeyong has served as the dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Xiamen University since April 2015, leading the school on the development path of "renovating the old industry and catching up from behind". Yin Zeyong has created a number of "firsts": presided over the development of my country's first type of advanced turbofan engine with large bypass ratio completely independently developed, the first type of advanced turboshaft engine that was completely independently developed and used in large quantities, and the first type The turbofan engine designed and used in batches and the first-type advanced transmission system independently developed and used in batches have made significant contributions to the development of my country's aviation power technology. He and his team have gone through the entire process of pre-research, technical research, engineering development, and application development independently for decades; he installed a strong Chinese "heart" on the domestic war eagle, breaking the monopoly and blockade of Western countries, and breaking out of independence. The Chinese way of developing turboshaft engines.
Yin Zeyong gave a speech after the award. He said that in the past half a century, he has been fortunate to witness the faster and faster development of my country's aviation power industry. This is not only the historical requirement of the rejuvenation of the great power, but also the historical responsibility of aviation power people.
