Today's environment of Beihang University

As the first aerospace higher education institution in New China and the cradle of Red Aeronautical Engineers, Beihang University has been a key national higher education institution since its establishment. Beihang University is one of the first batch of national key universities (1959), among the first batch of 211 project universities (1997) and the first batch of world-class academic construction universities (Class A) (2017), which ranks seventh to has taken the tenth place. It is the key institution of higher education in the five-year plan. This university is a member of the 985 main project university. Also selected for Project Everest, Project 211, Project 111, and Outstanding Engineering Education.

Genesis

The aviation departments of the eight universities that participated in the founding of the Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics were: Tsinghua University, Peiyang University, Northwestern Polytechnic College (today's Northwestern Polytechnic University), Xiamen University, and the Faculty of North China University. Engineering (today's Beijing Institute of Technology), the aviation departments of Southwest Industrial College (now Chongqing University), Sichuan University and Yunnan University. [19]

The aviation departments of China's higher education institutions developed relatively late and are weak in strength. Although Feng Ru built the first Chinese airplane in 1909, five years after the Wright brothers, China's aviation industry failed to develop due to old thinking and turmoil. Until the September 18 incident and the January 28 Songo War of Resistance, which faced the painful lesson of national subjugation, the Chinese people gradually realized the importance of aviation technology, and the concept of "air rescue of the nation" was born. With this concept in mind, they traveled to Europe and America to learn aviation knowledge from the oceans, and after returning to China, by overcoming many problems and establishing aviation departments, they tried to cultivate Chinese aviation technology talents. The first major of aeronautical engineering in China was the Department of Aeronautical Engineering, which was established by Tsinghua University in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering in 1934. [20]

But due to the outbreak of the Japanese War and other reasons in the mid-1940s, there was only Tsinghua University, Peiyang University, and a few universities such as Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, and Xiamen University established aerospace engineering departments. With the country's emphasis and need for the aviation industry after the establishment of the People's Republic of China and with the help of adjustment of colleges and universities across the country since 1951 under the leadership of the government of the People's Republic of China, colleges and aviation departments across the country began to transfer to several colleges.

In March 1951, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party made initial adjustments to the main aeronautical engineering departments and subjects of domestic universities: the aeronautical departments of Tsinghua University, Peiyang University, Northwestern Engineering Institute, and Xiamen University were merged to form a faculty. Aeronautical Engineering, Tsinghua University; Department of Aeronautical Engineering of Yunnan University This group was merged into the Department of Aeronautics of Sichuan University; The Aeronautics Department of the former Central Industrial College (then renamed Southwest Industrial College) and the Aeronautics Department of North China University merged to form the Aeronautics Department of Beijing Institute of Technology. On December 10 of the same year, Premier Zhou Enlai convened a meeting to discuss a plan to transition the aviation industry from maintenance to production. Vice Premier Li Fuchun suggested that "building an aviation university is urgent." Premier Zhou Enlai agreed and gave the order. "I will follow your suggestions."[ citation needed ]

In May 1952, in accordance with the directive of Premier Zhu Enlai to establish a specialized aviation university and the decision to establish an aviation faculty in the "Resolution on the Construction of Aviation Industry" issued by the Central Military Commission, the Central Ministry of Education formulated. A plan to adjust teaching groups in colleges and universities across the country, more adjustments were made in the aviation sector. On June 12, the Ministry of Heavy Industry and the Ministry of Education decided to officially prepare for the establishment of the Beijing Aviation Industry Institute with the approval of the State Finance and Economic Commission and the approval of the Central Military Commission.[ citation needed ]

On October 24, 1952, the Ministry of Education issued a certificate of approval for the establishment of the Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Industry (officially known as the Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics or Beihang University for short). [21] Around the same time, the aviation departments of the former Central University, Zhejiang University, and Jiaotong University were merged into the East China Institute of Aviation (located in Nanjing), which later moved to Xi'an and merged into the Northwest Polytechnic Institute. After the aviation department was transferred to Tsinghua University to form Northwestern Polytechnical University.[ citation needed ]

In May 1953, after the Beijing Institute of Aeronautics selected its campus in Boyanzhuang, Haidian District, a northwestern suburb of Beijing, construction officially began on June 1 on a plot of farmland and surrounding roadless graves . Workers worked around the clock and completed 60,000 square meters of construction within half a year. In October of the same year, all students and a number of professors and staff moved to the new school and began to study and work normally. The planned capital construction works were basically completed by 1957 with a completed area of 135,245 square meters, 64,160 square meters of road built, and an investment of over 35.6 million yuan. In June 1954, Wu Guang was appointed as the first president of Beihang University. [21]

In 1958, under the guidance of the party's general line and educational policy, Beihang launched a work-study program, supported and practiced the integration of education with scientific research, design and production, and launched the development of aviation models. Within 100 days, the school's teachers and students completed the construction of the "Beijing No. 1" light passenger plane, which was personally approved by Premier Zhou Enlai. This test flight was successfully carried out on September 24 of the same year, and a test flight of 2,500 km was carried out between Beijing and Shanghai; China's successful development is also Asia's first radiant missile - "Beijing-2", which was successfully launched and tested on September 22 of the same year at the Baichengzi firing range in northeastern China.; China's first unmanned aircraft - "Beijing 5" was successfully developed "that is, a self-made unmanned control system was installed on the An-2 aircraft and the aircraft turned into an unmanned aircraft. The test flight was successfully carried out in September. 25 of the same year which opened the door to the development of drones in China. In May 1959, the CCP Central Committee issued the "Decision on the Designation of a Group of Key Universities among Higher Education Institutions", and Beihang University was one of the first batch of 16. became a key university in the country. This is a full recognition of Beihang's work in the past seven years since its establishment. [21]

China's Cultural Revolution

During the Cultural Revolution, teaching discipline was generally disrupted, and normal enrollment in colleges and universities across the country was suspended. Beihang University was not immune to this influence. During this period, it was once controlled by the "Red Flag" Beihang Red Guard organization. However, due to the special nature of the school, Beihang University has had relatively little influence among the major universities in Beijing and has also produced a number of scientific research results such as unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. In 1955, the cultural revolution ended, and in December 1956, single registration was established in higher education institutions across the country, and in 1957, the registration of graduates was resumed. In April 1988, with the approval of the State Education Commission, the Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics was renamed Beijing Aeronautics and Astronautics University. [21]

Chinese Calligraphy on the entrance gate of Beihang University

When Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics was founded in 1952, it was named "Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics", also known as "Beihang University". In 1988, the name of the faculty was changed to the current "Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics" and its abbreviation was "Beihang University" and the English name of the faculty was "Beijing Aeronautics and Astronautics University" and English. It stood for "BUAA". In 2002, the English name of Beihang University was changed to today's "Beihang University" and the English abbreviation was still "BUAA". The current Chinese name of Beihang University was engraved by calligrapher Mr. Zhao Pochu in 1988 when Beihang University changed its name.

School emblem, school flag

The main body of the logo of Peking University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics is a concentric circle with two inner and outer layers, which is harmonious and natural, and is a symbol of the infinite and vast world, a unified yet uneven multi-level structure of time and space. Its main pattern, an upward double arrow (airplane), is an abstract image of an aerospace vehicle. Together with the opened book, the elliptical satellite orbit, and the twinkling constellations in space, they together form a spiritual culture recognized by it. Beihang University highlights the high-tech aerospace features of Beihang University.

The phrase 1952 in the logo not only represents the year of establishment of Beihang University, but also highlights the historical mission on the shoulders of the people of Beihang from a special historical perspective, which is the great trust of the country and the passionate hope of thousands of years. old nation

The name of the Chinese school and the name of the English school carved by Mr. Zhao Pochu form a clear contrast system: the cultural concept of Chinese calligraphy represents the heritage and development of the long cultural tradition of the Chinese nation by Beihang; The name of the English school shows that in the new historical period, Beihang University's determination to move towards internationalization and modernization.

The main color of the logo is the school color "Blue Technology" (#01519A), which has a concept of openness, rigor, stability and entrepreneurial spirit, and the unique characteristics of Beihang culture in aiming for the blue sky and having the courage to explore, this special feeling of Beihang people. It is a color.

The Beihang flag, launched in 2002, appears to be blue with white letters (or white with blue letters) with the Beihang school logo on the top and the Beihang school name in Chinese and English on the bottom. . Several school flags have flown into space with Shenzhou 4 and Shenzhou 9 and were among the first "passengers" of the C919 airliner. There is less information about the school flag before 2002. According to video footage of Beijing's successful bid for the 2001 Olympic Games, the school's flag is shown in yellow characters on a red background, with the school's logo in the upper left. corner and the words "Beihang University" in the lower right corner (font unknown, but can still be found in Beihang University) (seen on nearby office buildings).
