This paper uses the aerospace engineering journals included in JCR as the data source, selects the papers published by Chinese scholars in the decade from 2011 to 2020, and uses the CiteSpace software to visually analyze the publication status of Chinese universities in the field of aerospace, author cooperation, research institution cooperation, keyword co-occurrence, and keywords clustering. The research results show that research in the field of aerospace has attracted more and more attention from scholars in Chinese universities; in particular, universities with special features in the defense industry conduct more research; there is more cooperation in the same region, but less cross-regional cooperation; The current research mainly focuses on the six categories of overall aircraft design, hypersonic aircraft, guidance and control, aircraft structure design, fluid mechanics, and engine design. This paper provides a valuable theoretical basis for my country"s universities, especially the national defense industry"s characteristic universities, to conduct in-depth research in the aerospace field.
