It is China's first fully independently-developed, advanced civil turboshaft engine, which meets the international standards and has been certified by Civil Aviation Administration of China.

According to Aero Engine Corporation of China (AECC), the AES100 turboshaft engine boasts high efficiency, low fuel consumption, long lifespan, and high reliability.
