In 2017, it was selected into the list of national “Double First-Class” universities.

Before Zhang Guang’s fall, the Rocket Army had just changed its commander. It was widely rumored that the Rocket Army’s den case broke out, and the top leaders of the army were almost “sacked in one pot”. At this sensitive time, the fall of Zhang Guang, the vice president of Beihang University, has aroused widespread concern and speculation from the outside world.

It was reported that the C919’s electronic control system had a problem with the running-in of European and American parts, which made an international joke that “brought Xi Jinping’s face to shame”. Beihang University is one of the Chinese universities participating in the research and development of C919. Therefore, there is a view that Zhang Guang, the vice president of Beihang University, was investigated at this time, which is also related to the technical flaws in the research and development of C919.
