Not only Zhuang Jianye, but also Lin Guanghua, Liu Chun, Qian Qiang and others were very surprised.

It is not uncommon for naval aviation units to handle air situations, because aircraft, especially civil aircraft, need to urgently adjust their routes when something goes wrong, and then it is necessary for the aviation units to appropriately evade and eliminate interference for civil airliners in handling their own situations.

However, it is rare to have a plane directly forced to land at a military airport, and that's it, the key is to make a forced landing or a large wide-body passenger plane with a take-off weight of more than 200 tons, which is not uncommon, but rare.

You must know that this naval aviation base is a typical military airport, the length of the main runway is 3,200 meters, and the take-off and landing of ordinary fighter planes and small and medium-sized military transport planes is no problem, but like the DC-10, a big guy with a take-off weight of hundreds of tons, the runway of more than 3,000 meters is still too short, and at least about 5,000 meters can reach the basic safe take-off and landing conditions.

But even so, whether the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 belonging to which unit it belonged to or whether it fell regardless of it can only show one problem, that is, the plane suffered a very serious malfunction, so that it had to risk a forced landing.

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"

Whether it is to see the world or to see the excitement, since we have encountered such a rare situation, how can there be any reason not to take a look? So Zhuang Jianye greeted, and Lin Guanghua and the others hurriedly followed and went straight to the airport.

......

Hugh Wood held the pole in both hands, stared at the grass not far away, his dark gray eyes were out of focus, as if his soul had been drained, and the whole person had become a walking corpse.

"God, we made it ......"

At this moment, Beckman, who was in the co-pilot's seat, muttered in disbelief, and immediately turned his head and looked at Hugh Wood, who was stunned: "Captain, we succeeded, we survived." ”

"It worked...... survived......"

Hugh Wood mechanically repeated even Beckman's words, and finally reacted, trembling and letting go of the hand holding the lever, the whole person collapsed into the driver's seat at once, and immediately pulled out a pendant from his neck, opened it and looked at the photos of his wife and daughter inside, kissed it affectionately, and then sighed deeply, moved his mouth to say something, but after all, he didn't say a word.

Beckman on the side understood the captain's mood very well, and it was a blessing to be able to escape from the hands of death, Hugh Wood, and even more so Beckman.

Even if it is possible to mess up McDonnell Douglas's well-planned business exhibition because of this incident, Beckman still does not feel any regrets, after all, no matter how much money there is, it has to be spent.

Unlike Hugh Wood and Beckman, who were glad that they could finally live, Esther Forss, the 46-year-old director of product sales at McDonnell Douglas in the luxury business class in the back, was not so simply happy.

The senior sales director with an annual salary of two million US dollars was indeed afraid that his life would be buried with the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 that came to China for sale, even if he would have a rich inheritance and huge commercial insurance payouts to his family after his death, but he still wanted to live, after all, there are so many beautiful little girls in the world waiting for him to go to a romantic encounter, if he dies, his life will be too lost.

However, after Hugh Wood and Beckman successfully forced down the plane that had suffered a serious failure in the 3,200-meter run, Fox, who had picked up a life, suddenly found that it was better to live than to die.

The reason is simple, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 China exhibition is very likely to be completely ruined because of this accident.

This is by no means good news for McDonnell Douglas that has fallen sharply in sales and seriously affected revenue performance, you know, in recent years, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 has declined sharply because of several air crashes, even if the original defects have been improved later, but McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is like being cursed by the devil, and accidents are one after another.

At this time, the global aviation industry was in sharp turmoil, and there were major changes unseen in decades, and European Airbus sprung up and began to keep up with the competition of American aviation companies.

At the same time, domestic competition in the United States has also intensified, and the first to fall is Lockheed's L1011 "Samsung" airliner, which cannot compete with other aviation companies due to operating costs, purchase prices and other reasons, and simply abandons the civil aircraft business and focuses on the development of military products.

Although McDonnell Douglas sniped Lockheed in terms of three-engine passenger aircraft, in the face of the suppression of the full range of passenger planes of the domestic Boeing Company and the pursuit of the twin-engine aircraft of the European Airbus Company, McDonnell Douglas seemed a little powerless, so it was eager to expand into new markets in order to consolidate the status of the current international civil passenger aircraft production.

McDonnell Douglas chose China, mainly because China's economic development has been relatively rapid in recent years, the domestic demand for civil aviation has gradually increased, and China is a potential civil aircraft sales destination.

At this time, China began to adjust the development strategy of civil aircraft, hoping to introduce foreign advanced technology and promote the development of domestic large-scale aviation platforms with a "market for technology" model similar to automobiles.

As soon as the two sides took what they needed, they hit it off, and the Y-10 project was launched, the McDonnell Douglas-82 joint venture project was officially launched, and the sales plan for the first batch of 32 aircraft was soon completed.

It doesn't matter what the impact of the whole project will be on the country, but it is a shot in the arm for McDonnell Douglas, since China can completely open up the market to McDonnell Douglas, does that mean that other models of McDonnell Douglas can also be sold?

So McDonnell Donnell Doesnnell Douglas sent a professional market consulting company to China to do a professional market survey, and the conclusion made McDonnell Doesnnell happy, because according to the analysis of that professional market consulting company, in the next 10 to 15 years, China's large wide-body trunk airliner will be short of more than 200 aircraft.

More than 200 large wide-body mainline airliners, based on 200 million US dollars each, is more than 40 billion US dollars in market share.

With more than $40 billion, and there is no market as big as China in the world several times, as long as it can swallow it, what are McDonnell Douglas afraid of Airbus and Boeing? They are in turn afraid of McDonnell Douglas.

So McDonnell Dalwells hurriedly sent its latest McDonnell Dalwells DC-10-30FG aircraft to show to the Civil Aviation of China, although the model is still McDonnell Douglas DC-10, but the overall architecture of the aircraft has been significantly improved, the application of a lot of MD-11 wide-body passenger aircraft technology under development, in other words, this McDonnell Douglas DC-10 has already surpassed the original model, belongs to the transition model between the old DD-11, advanced self-evident.

McDonnell Douglas's intention to choose this model to China is also very simple, that is, to pave the way for the MD-11 aircraft to enter the Chinese market, there is no way, McDonnell Douglas itself knows that its DC-10 reputation has collapsed and sales are dismal.

So simply bet on the next generation of wide-body airliners, but the MD-11 prototype in hand has not yet completed the test, so it is impossible to come, so we sent such a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30FG with many MD-11 technologies to let Chinese customers feel the awesomeness of the next generation of wide-body airliners.

As a result, before the awesome place could be displayed, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30FG that flew all the way over had a problem, and Fox wanted to die, so DC-10 couldn't compete a little?
