Wang Wenshi, a senior researcher at the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully built the institute's first "composite materials data database" and won the "Zhongshan Model" award, the highest honor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Taiwan is actively developing and mass-producing various drones. The use and breakthrough of composite materials in the airframe can be said to be one of the keys to the substantial progress of unmanned vehicles. Wang Wenshi, a senior scientific researcher at the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, was awarded the highest honor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the "Zhongshan Model" this time. He joined the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1975 and stayed there for 40 years. He devoted most of his life to Taiwan's national defense technology. With his profound knowledge in composite material manufacturing and testing technology, he has become an indispensable super "mainstay" in the field of aircraft structure repair in my country.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences pointed out that in his career in aviation research and development, what Wang Wenshi is most praised for is his spirit of continuous self-improvement. During his on-the-job master's degree, he flexibly applied what he learned and successfully created the "Composite Materials Data Directory" (MDD), the first of its kind in the school. This database can be said to be a priceless treasure trove for Taiwan Aviation R&D. It standardizes complex material parameters, which not only provides a basis for selection during aircraft structural design, but also serves as a precise scientific guide for structural analysis and parameter setting.
The first mass production of the "Jianxiang" anti-radiation UAV system developed and produced by the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been completed, and all of it has been allocated to the Air Force Air Defense and Missile Command for use.
The birth of this MDD database has directly become the best promoter of Taiwan's domestic drones. Whether it is a tactical reconnaissance drone currently in service in the Chinese military or a strategic aircraft with long-range airborne capabilities, the research and development process faces the stringent challenge of balancing both "lightweight" and "high-strength structure." The database established by Wang Wenshi just meets the key needs of various drone projects of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, giving the R&D team the most solid data backing when designing drone structures.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences specifically pointed out that Wang Wenshi has always maintained a high degree of professionalism and sense of mission in his position, and has demonstrated excellent teamwork spirit when facing various difficult challenges in drone research and development. Whether an aircraft is in normal training or performing a mission, structural damage and repair are the key to maintaining the aircraft's safety rate. Wang Wenshi has been silently guarding the structural safety of military aircraft with a pair of professional hands for decades. His dedication is not only a model for all colleagues in the hospital to learn from, but to be praised as a model is a reward for his hard work and a well-deserved honor.
From material testing at the grassroots level to leading the construction of key databases across projects, Wang Wenshi used 40 years of persistence to personally write a wonderful chapter of Taiwan's national defense independence. With the continuous deepening and application of this set of composite materials data database, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' future forward-looking unmanned vehicles and aviation technologies will surely continue to soar in the blue sky of the Taiwan Strait with this valuable research and development efforts, laying a more solid foundation for my country's asymmetric combat energy.
