On 5 May China's first home-grown large passenger plane made its maiden flight. Built by
the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) this was quite an achievement for
China's civil aviation industry and creates new competition for Boeing and Airbus.

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) is partnering with Beijing Aeronautical Science & Technology Research Institute of COMAC and China's prestigious Tsinghua University to run the 4th International Symposium on More Electric Aircraft Technology. This is a good opportunity to meet with the prominent engineers, researchers and decision makers in China's aerospace industry as well as international experts.

It is also an opportunity to share your latest research and innovation and the IET is inviting you to submit a paper to the Symposium.

The More Electric Aircraft (MEA) 2017 organising committee welcomes contributions in the following areas:

A. Power systems and distribution networks for MEA
B. Technology for integrated power management and thermal management & air management technology
C. Power electronics, machines and control for MEA systems
D. Leading-edge technology for next generation aircraft


Share your expertise - submit your draft paper by 7 August 2017, and please visit event website http://mea2017.events.theiet.org.cn/ for more information.
