“航空发动机高温材料/先进制造及故障诊断科学基础”是国家自然基金委为国家重大需求设立的一项重大研究计划，目的是解决我国航空发动机在高温材料、先进制造与故障诊断等领域中关键基础科学问题的认知短板，把握相关领域前沿基础科学理论，探索相关领域新原理、新方法，支撑我国航空发动机工业发展。因此，专家指导委员会在战略层面把握研究计划进行方向、在宏观层面把握研究计划实施进度、在微观层面把握研究成果的应用是十分必要的。本项目拟以指导专家委员会成员为骨干开展航空发动机高温材料/先进制造及故障诊断科学基础的战略研究，提出相关领域发展的方向与趋势，为研究计划的立项提供科学指导与咨询建议；针对已设立项目开展跟踪调研，对项目的实施以及对基础科学问题研究的合理布局提出建设性意见；组织相关学科的研究人员开展专题调研会、研讨会、学术报告会等多种形式的学术交流，大幅提升我国在航空发动机相关领域的基础科学研究水平。

Advanced high-temperature materials, advanced manufacturing and trouble-shooting for aeroengines is an important research project of National Science Foundation of China. This project is established in response to the essential national needs in this extremely important area. The objectives of this project include the following. First, it sets the platform in order to solve the related key and fundamental science and technology issues associated with high-temperature materials, advanced manufacturing and trouble-shooting in aeroengines. Second, it will help us to be educated with the state-of-the-art science and technology in this area. Finally, it allows us to explore next generation technology to sustain the R&D of China’s aeroengines. Based on this vision, the Advisory Board of this project will direct the research at the strategic level; it will monitor the progression of the project at the macroscopic level and will guide the transition and application of the results at microscopic level. To achieve the goals of the project, the Advisory Board will examine the strategic challenges associated with the high-temperature materials, advanced manufacturing and trouble-shooting of aerospace engines. The Advisory Board will then suggest the directions and trends in the area, and provide guidance and advice for the specific research topics. The Advisory board will also track the direction and progression of specific projects and provide guidance and insights to the fundamental issues and effort distribution. Finally, the Advisory Board will organize meetings, forums and seminars for the Principal Investigators and participants to communicate and disseminate the results in the hope to greatly enhance the R&D of aeroengines of China.
