The Boeing aircraft engine blades, which are now a critical component of U.S. aviation technology, were actually manufactured using "Sichuan-made" CNC machine tools. According to a report from the Provincial Department of Commerce, Sichuan Changzheng Machine Tool Group Co., Ltd. has successfully exported its "Longmen Machining Center" to Boeing, playing a key role in producing the aircraft's engine blades. This marks the first time a domestic CNC machine tool has secured an order from Boeing and achieved a successful export to the United States.
"The machine is specifically designed for Boeing to produce complex parts required on modern aircraft," said Li Zhi, head of the marketing department at Sichuan Changzheng Machine Tool Group. He explained that due to the intricate curved surfaces of Boeing's components, traditional three-axis machining centers are insufficient. Instead, the five-axis linkage machining capabilities of Changzheng's self-developed "GMC Gantry Machining Center" meet these high-precision demands. Currently, only two companies in China can produce such advanced machine tools, and they are on par with global leaders in the industry.
It wasn’t easy for Sichuan Changzheng to gain Boeing’s trust. Li Zhi revealed that last year, the company partnered with Fidia, a globally renowned machine tool manufacturer, signing a comprehensive cooperation agreement covering sales, technology, and market expansion. By leveraging Fidia’s international reputation and showcasing the competitive edge of its "GMC Longmen Machining Center," Changzheng was able to secure recognition from the industry and eventually win Boeing's order—an important breakthrough for Chinese manufacturing.
Notably, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission have recognized the "GMC Gantry Machining Center" as a preferred domestic equipment for aerospace and defense industries. Meanwhile, orders from countries such as the U.S., Germany, and Italy continue to pour in, highlighting the growing global confidence in China's advanced manufacturing capabilities.
