【Abstract】The frequent and rapid cross-border technical communication of civil aviation is enlarging the demand of practioners who are familiar with both of the aviation-related technical fields and academic English. From the perspective of periodical editor， the accuracy， simplicity and logicality of academic writing affects a lot on the thesis acceptance and periodical construction. The development of Aviation Academic English Test （AAET for short） and relevant training programs is a scientific measurement to improve the academic English proficiency of students， researchers and scholars in the aviation field such as aviation material， air traffic management， airfreight industry and aircraft maintenance. Result of survey proves the necessity of the test; analyses on existing ESP tests show that the proposed test has strong feasibility.

Periodical publishing is one of the main platforms for academic and industrial communication， in which the English proficiency， especially the accuracy， simplicity and logicality of academic writing plays a vital role. Relevant researches show that the language using habits of Chinese scholars cannot fully reflect the features of academic texts， the language using problems exiting in some published theses hinder the inclusion and retrieval of the periodicals by authoritative databases such as SCI or IEEE （Xu 2014， Lu 2015）. Along with the globalization of aviation industry such as ‘Open Sky’ ‘Silk Road in Air’， from the perspective of periodical construction， accurate and standard academic English becoming not only important but also necessary; developing a specific language test about aviation academic English is a scientific way for talent training and selection.
Some researchers in China have done similar studies on the testing structure and material collection of college ESP tests from various perspectives， which prove the feasibility of the test. Various ESP tests have merged these years， helping to filter candidates for universities and companies. However， researches about aviation academic English are rare; only the two existing aviation English tests are merely focusing on one small part of this huge industry. On the other hand， the need for such a test has never been decreased; especially when there have been more and more international training programs designed for workers in aviation industry such as aviation material researcher， air traffic controller， aircraft maintainer， aviation lawyer and so on. I. Existing ESP Tests and Relevant Researches
Some university ESP teachers have done their audacious attempts， trying to develop such a test， evaluating the validity and reliability of the test in a relatively small scope， for example， in a university or the universities in a city. Result of their researches contributes to the necessity of designing the Aviation Academic English Test in a large extent. Ping Huang from Chongqing University is one of them.
