With rapid economic progress and tremendous advances of science and technology, awareness of environmental protection has become worldwide consensus. Saving energy, reducing emission and dealing with climate changes are global objectives. The aviation industry belongs to the manufacturing industry. Air transportation is a major consumer of natural resources and energy. Development of green technology in aviation manufacturing will have significant impacts on air transportation. On the basis of the international situation, this article focuses on the current development of green aviation manufacturing in China, depicting AVIC’s objectives and commitments to achieving this.
