Primus 150, China's first composite material light business aircraft with proprietary intellectual property rights, rolls off production line on Nov 12, 2012

The Primus 150 aircraft, China's first light business plane entirely made of composite materials and with proprietary intellectual property rights, rolled off the production line on Nov 12, 2012.

Developed by Aviation Industry Corporation of China, Ltd., the Primus 150 is mainly used in private flights and by business jet operators. 

With the fastest flight speed among planes of the same kind in the world, the Primus 150 has a simple structure and light weight. It also provides a safe and comfortable travel experience for passengers and good cost efficiency.

Its highest flight speed can reach 600 kilometers per hour and its range is up to 2,500 kilometers.

Lingshui 17-2, China's first private deep-water gas field, starts substantive development and construction on Nov 12, 2018

The Lingshui 17-2, China's first private deep-water gas field, began substantive development and construction on Nov 12, 2018. 

The new stage of work was proof that the country has mastered the design, construction and installation technologies of a semi-submersible development platform in the complicated deep-water areas in the South China Sea, which promotes development of deep-water oil and gas in the region. 

During exploration and construction, China National Offshore Oil Corporation, developer of the Lingshui 17-2 well, made breakthroughs and grasped the building technology of a 1,500-meter semi-submersible platform for gas condensate storage as well as design and manufacturing techniques to domestically produce supporting facilities. 

These technologies were the first in China and efficiently improved the country's marine deep-water engineering equipment construction capacity.
