Xinhua reports that Xi’an is transitioning from 'China's aerospace power hub' to a full commercial aerospace supply chain. The Sixth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology provides over 98% of the liquid engines for the Long March rocket series, while the Fourth Academy holds more than 90% of the commercial solid rocket motor market. Building on state-owned technology foundations, Xi’an’s private commercial aerospace sector has nurtured niche players in complete satellite manufacturing and reusable propulsion. CAS Xi’an Aerospace is the only Chinese commercial company to achieve fully in-house development of hyperspectral satellites; it has launched 11 satellites and in 2025 completed the nation's first hyperspectral satellite data asset securitization. Tianhui Aerospace focuses on low-cost, reusable liquid rocket engines. Western Test provides one-stop component screening and testing services. BLT, a metal 3D printing firm, locks in complex engine component manufacturing. Xi’an aims to grow its commercial aerospace industry to ¥100 billion and over 150 above-scale enterprises by 2030.
