3月20日，一架型号为RX1E-S的双座水上电动飞机，在甘肃省永靖县刘家峡风景区向阳码头滑出、起飞,标志着由沈航辽宁通用航空研究院研制的全球首架双座水上电动飞机正式交付。
On March 20, a two-seat electric seaplane, model RX1E-S, skidded out and took off from the Xiangyang Pier in the Liujiaxia Scenic Area in Yongjing County, Gansu Province, marking the official delivery of the world's first two-seat electric seaplane developed by Shenyang Liaoning General Aviation Research Institute.
RX1E-S双座水上电动飞机是全球首款浮筒式双座水上电动飞机，以锂电池作为推进能源的飞机，其碳排放量为零，电推进系统运行平稳、噪声低，飞机运行只需合适的水域面积即可，对基础设施要求和使用维护成本较低。
RX1E-S two-seat seaplane is the world's first floating two-seat seaplane, with lithium battery as the propulsion energy of the aircraft, its carbon emissions are zero, the electric propulsion system runs smoothly, low noise, the aircraft operation only needs a suitable area of water, the infrastructure requirements and the use of maintenance costs are low.
从2021年至今， 学校坚持推动科教融合、产教融合和军民融合发展，充分发挥航空特色教育科研资源优势，积极探索推动新能源航空设计、制造、试验、适航、运营和人才培养的全产业链发展，学校已经初步成长为新能源通用航空器研发制造、通航产业示范、航空科普研学和航空教育培训的领军型高校。
SAU has actively explored the development of the entire industry chain of new energy aviation design, manufacturing, testing, airworthiness, operation, and personnel training since 2021. SAU insists on promoting the integration of science and education, industry and education, and civil-military integration.
十余年来，学校面向绿色航空、能源动力及国防建设等领域重大需求，在国内开辟了新能源电动飞机研究领域，研制出了系列新能源电动飞机型号，先后3个型号通过民航局适航审定，10个型号实现科研验证机首飞。多款纯电动飞机分别在德国、美国、珠海及国内各大航展中动态飞行和静态展示。目前累计销售各类电动飞机20余架，累计运行12000余小时23000余起落。
Over the last decade, SAU has opened up the research field of new energy electric aircraft for the significant needs in green aviation, energy power, and national defense construction and developed a series of new electric energy aircraft models, three of which have acquired the airworthiness certification of the Civil Aviation Administration, and ten of them have achieved the first flight of the scientific proof aircraft. Several pure electric aircraft have been flown dynamically and displayed statically in Germany, the United States, Zhuhai, and major airshows in China. More than 20 electric aircraft of various types have been sold, and more than 23,000 takeoffs and landings have been made in more than 12,000 hours of operation.
新能源航空是学校创新的重点领域。未来三年，学校主动对接辽宁全面振兴新突破三年行动，着力强化科技教育人才支撑，助力辽宁智造强省建设，为辽宁实现全面振兴新突破贡献沈航力量和沈航智慧，为国家“双碳”战略做出航空贡献。
New energy aviation is a crucial area of innovation for the school. In the next three years, SAU will make aviation contributions to China's carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.
