Introduction
Origin:
In order to establish world-class aerospace technology research standards, cultivate first-class aerospace technology professionals, and establish independent aerospace technology, the National Cheng Kung University Institute of Aerospace Research accepted the advice of a review committee composed of experts and consultant professors from home and abroad in March 1986 and decided to build a large-scale aerospace-related experimental equipment. After obtaining support from the Ministry of Education, the National Defense Foundation and the National Science Council, an Aerospace Experiment Site Preparatory Committee was established. In 1987, a 22-hectare land of Taiwan Sugar in Guiren Township, 14 kilometers away from National Cheng Kung University, was purchased as the base for the development of aerospace technology research and development work in the Republic of China. Yi Ding Engineering Company was immediately invited to carry out the engineering planning of the factory area. In December 1988, the experimental site began to break ground, and the preparation of the experimental site began to take a big step towards success.
The planning committee was mainly responsible for the coordination of on-site facilities and the surrounding environment and the construction of future laboratories. It also hired Dr. Jingfang Luo from the University of Tennessee and Dr. Guanyun Guo from Pennsylvania State University as consultants. With the collective efforts of professors with special expertise from the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and with the guidance of the consultants, they jointly completed the planning of a unique transonic wind tunnel and combustion laboratory, which was contracted and built by FluiDyne of the United States. In addition, the low-speed wind tunnel, water tunnel, experimental support factory, optoelectronic laboratory, structural material laboratory, navigation control laboratory, dual propellant laboratory, etc. were planned and constructed by professors from the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. It is expected that there will be a preliminary plan in 1992, which means that the research and development of aerospace technology will begin. There are also comprehensive buildings, dormitories, restaurants and sports and leisure facilities on the site, providing a complete working environment for future researchers engaged in aerospace engineering.
Professional experimental equipment:
