一家新成立的中国初创企业正在研发其称之为中国首款自主研发新能源公务机的机型，为中国减少航空排放的努力增添了新力量。
A newly established Chinese start-up is developing what it describes as the country’s first home-grown new-energy business jet, adding to China’s efforts to cut aviation emissions.
北京爱林克飞机制造有限公司（Beijing Airlink Aircraft，以下简称“爱林克”）是一家于3月成立的中国民营飞机制造商，周六在南昌航空产业博览会上展示了其“贝林100”系列两个变体的缩比模型。
Beijing Airlink Aircraft, a Chinese private aircraft manufacturer founded in March, unveiled scale models of two variants of its Belyn 100 series at the Nanchang Aviation Industry Expo on Saturday.
该公司表示，其核心团队主要来自清华大学航空航天学院和中国航空工业界。
The company said its core team was drawn mainly from Tsinghua University’s school of aerospace engineering and China’s aviation industry.
其中一款变体“贝林100HF”将采用并联混合动力系统，将常规发动机与电力推进相结合，旨在实现更快、航程更远的公务飞行。
One of the variants, the Belyn 100HF, would use a parallel hybrid system that combines a conventional engine with electric propulsion, targeting faster and longer-range business flights.
另一款变体“贝林100HP”将采用串联混合动力系统，即发动机发电为飞机的电力推进系统供电，侧重于效率和灵活运营。
The other variant, the Belyn 100HP, would use a series hybrid system, in which an engine generates electricity to power the aircraft’s electric propulsion system, with a focus on efficiency and flexible operations.
该项目仍处于早期研发阶段，爱林克尚未宣布计划何时进行首飞。不过，该公司6月表示，目标是在三年内完成核心机型的市场验证。
The project remains at an early development stage, and Airlink has yet to announce when it plans the first test flight. However, it said in June that it aimed to complete market validation of its core model within three years.
公司在展会上展示了1:5缩比模型，并表示计划在下个月的珠海航展上展示全尺寸模型，这将是一个接触潜在客户、供应商和投资者的机会。
The company displayed 1:5 scale models at the expo and said it planned to present a full-size model at the Zhuhai air show next month, which would be an opportunity to meet potential customers, suppliers and investors.
据爱林克在中文行业新闻平台“台伯网”发布的一篇文章介绍，“贝林100”飞机设计最多可载12名乘客，其中100HF计划航程为3500公里（2175英里），而100HP预计可飞行达1200公里。
The Belyn 100 aircraft are designed to carry up to 12 passengers, with the 100HF planned to have a range of 3,500km (2,175 miles), while the 100HP is expected to fly up to 1,200km, according to an article Airlink published on Taibo.cn, a Chinese industry news platform.
公司表示，全球航空业正朝着低碳运营方向发展，区域市场正在寻找更适应不同航线、客流需求和运行条件的飞机。
The company said global aviation was moving towards lower-carbon operations and regional markets were seeking aircraft better suited to different routes, passenger demand and operating conditions.
Airlink 由北京私募股权公司信鼎资本支持，该公司投资硬科技和成长期企业，但投资金额未予披露。
Airlink is backed by Xinding Capital, a Beijing-based private-equity firm that invests in hard technology and growth-stage companies, although the investment amount was not disclosed.
信鼎的投资组合包括中国电动汽车制造商赛力斯和小鹏汽车、自动驾驶技术公司地平线机器人、人工智能芯片制造商寒武纪科技，以及企业级 AI 专家第四范式。
Xinding’s portfolio includes Chinese electric-vehicle makers Seres and Xpeng, autonomous-driving technology company Horizon Robotics, artificial-intelligence chipmaker Cambricon Technologies, and enterprise AI specialist 4Paradigm.
中国并非唯一追求混合动力飞机的国家。美国的 Ampaire 和法国的 VoltAero 正在开发类似技术，而 Daher、Safran、Collins Aerospace 和 Ascendance 组成了一个法国财团，研究用于 6 至 10 座飞机的混合动力推进系统。
China is not alone in pursuing hybrid-electric aircraft. US-based Ampaire and France’s VoltAero are developing similar technologies, while Daher, Safran, Collins Aerospace and Ascendance have formed a French consortium to study hybrid-electric propulsion for six- to 10-seat aircraft.
Ampaire 已完成超过 48,000 公里的混合动力系统飞行测试，并于今年在犹他州开始了区域客运和货运业务。
Ampaire has completed more than 48,000km of flight testing with its hybrid-electric systems and began regional passenger and cargo operations in Utah this year.
