The deal is worth "in excess of $20 million" for the work on a projected build programme of more than 500 aircraft.
Tao Zhi Lui, ACAC vice-president, commercial, and Mel Drummond, Eaton vice-president, product support and services, signed the agreement at the show.
Lui said that ACAC was now setting its sights on a place in the wider international aerospace scene. "We are now dedicated to the development of global civil aviation industry, taking our advantages from the Chinese civil aviation industry."
