As an important part of scientific and technological innovation talents, academicians of aerospace are top professionals in the aerospace field, typical representatives of strategic scientists, and the core force driving breakthrough innovations in China's aerospace technology. Under the great changes unseen in a century, the aerospace field has become an important strategic high ground for countries to showcase their comprehensive national strength and scientific and technological capabilities. At present, talents in China's aerospace field share the achievements and experiences of aerospace development through international academic exchanges and cooperation, spread China's aerospace concepts, and actively learn the latest international knowledge. This promotes better alignment of China's aerospace science and technology with the international community, enhances the country's say in the global aerospace industry, and enables the world to see the strength of China's aerospace. It also creates favorable conditions for China to carry out more extensive and in-depth international cooperation in the aerospace field, continuously injects new vitality into China's aerospace science and technology, and achieves a leap from following, keeping pace with, to partially leading.

This study focuses on the integration and influencing factors of the core innovation capabilities of academicians in the aerospace field. Based on 38 biographies of academicians in the aerospace field, it uses grounded theory to construct a growth influencing factor model of "Motivation - Capability - Support - Behavior". Research findings show that the advancement of core capabilities of aerospace academicians is a dynamic and complex process, with different capabilities at different stages. During the growth stage, one possesses the ability driven by curiosity, the desire for knowledge and the ability to learn. During the stage of studying and choosing a major, one should possess the ability to seek knowledge and explore, the ability to plan one's career, and the ability to perceive interdisciplinary knowledge. At the initial stage of one's career, one should possess the ability to innovate and break through, the ability to collaborate in a team, and the ability to communicate and coordinate. During the glorious stage of one's career, one should possess strategic leadership capabilities, scientific research management capabilities, the ability to transfer technology across generations, and the ability to integrate across disciplines. In the vigorous stage of an old horse, one should possess the ability to pass on and cultivate, guide with experience, and promote the industry. This model reveals the spiral upward law of "motivation guidance - ability breakthrough - support and guarantee - behavioral practice" of academicians in the aerospace field.

Based on the above research content, in order to cultivate more professional talents in the aerospace field, this study puts forward the following suggestions: Cultivate a sense of patriotism and belief, and strengthen the sense of mission and responsibility of talents; Promote the development of innovative practices and enhance the innovation capabilities of talents; Strengthen professional education support and cultivate fertile ground for talent growth; Create an environment that values and honors talents, and build a highland for scientific research and development. In subsequent research, the sample types can be further expanded to conduct quantitative analysis, thereby exploring the growth mechanism of professional talents and providing more forward-looking theoretical support for the precise cultivation of talents in the aerospace field.
