On 4 May, the Triangle Group and the Harbin Institute of Technology signed a strategic cooperation agreement for the development of radial aircraft tyre technology. The agreement was signed at Triangle’s headquarters in Shandong Province by company chairman Ding Yuhua and Feng Ji from the Harbin Institute of Technology. Under the terms of the agreement, the two entities will set up a facility that draws upon the Weihai-based institute’s expertise in the areas of composite materials, engineering mechanics, automotive, mechanical design and manufacturing and information management professions and disciplines. Research will focus on developing tyres for larger aircraft, such as commercial airliners.
