As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked!

$68, which is almost half of the price quoted by the other three, and what is even more unbelievable is that the maintenance cost is only a measly $3,000 for a single flight.

Hovinsky, who has been calm from the beginning to the present, had a rare look of disbelief, and asked the first question of the whole scene: "Mr. Liszt, may I ask, is the number you gave certain?"

"Yes, Mr. Hovinsky, the unit price of our aircraft is $680,000, and the cost of a single flight is controlled at $3,000 or less. ”

"Impossible!" As soon as Liszt's answer was finished, the powerful Norton opened his mouth to refute: "The cost of a single flight is 3,000 US dollars, and the cost of light fuel and pilots is more than 3,000 US dollars. ”

Although Norton's words were strong, they resonated with those present, because they had the impression that the cost of a single flight of $3,000 was child's play, and even the cheapest small plane cost about $5,000, unless it was a glider, which was cheap, but how could the Department of Justice use a glider as a tool to combat smuggling and smuggling?

So all eyes were focused on Liszt, especially the two MPs in front of him, whose faces were already unkind.

Liszt did not panic, but looked at the angry Norton, immediately smiled gently, and asked: "May I ask Mr. Norton, how much fuel do you think a 18 kilowatt twin-cylinder small gasoline engine needs?"

Norton was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and before he could react, Mary Johnson said in surprise: "18 kilowatt twin-cylinder small gasoline engine, oh my God, how did you get people to the sky?"

"No, they didn't get people to the sky, because they didn't use people to go to the sky at all, because they were making drones!" or Livenster, who had a nimble mind and reacted immediately.

It's just that the last drone immediately surprised everyone in the field, the difference is that this time it is a little different from the surprise reaction just now, with a bit of surprise inside, the drone and the manned aircraft are bidding for the purchase order of the Ministry of Justice, once the matter is confirmed, they seem to have witnessed a history.

So for the first time, the invited media reporters turned their cameras on Liszt.

And Liszt nodded up to expectations: "Yes, Livenster is right, the Discovery 1 aircraft we bid for is a drone, which is the latest cutting-edge product of science and technology created by our H Airlines after eight years, if you describe it in one sentence, my evaluation is cross-era!"

"Can you tell us about the specific performance of the next Discovery Type 1 drone?" asked a bold reporter in the back row.

Liszt did not answer, but looked at Hovinsky and a group of MPs and Justice Department officials in front of him, and a group of bigwigs obviously wanted to hear what was going on with this new thing, so they signaled that Hovinsky was okay.

After getting permission, Liszt went to the center of the venue and unfolded a pre-prepared enlarged photo of the discovery of the Type 1 drone, and the staff on one side immediately took out an easel with tacit understanding, fixed the enlarged photo of the discovery of the Type 1 drone, and then put it in a position where people on both sides could see it.

Soon a strange-looking drone appeared in front of everyone in the venue, and the reporters in the back row immediately raised their cameras, and the flashing sound of the shutter immediately covered the audience.

Hovinsky had to take out the drum beat, knock~~knock~~ knocked a few times, so that the field returned to silence, Liszt then pointed to the enlarged drone photo and said: "Our discovery 1 drone is 4 meters long, with a wingspan of 5.6 meters and a height of 1.1 meters, using an 18 kilowatt twin-cylinder gasoline engine, with a maximum take-off weight of 224 kg, a practical ceiling of 8000 meters, a maximum speed of 260 km / h, cruising at 120 km / h, a radius of 246 km, and a range of 4 to 6 hours...... ”

Lister paused for a moment, ready to continue to introduce the basic performance of the drone, but as a result, a wrinkled MP on the rostrum obviously lost his patience, and the exit interrupted Liszt's speech: "Wait, Mr. Liszt, what we want is a patrol aircraft to combat smuggling and smuggling, we don't care about all kinds of data of your drone, we want to know if it can be up to the task of the Ministry of Justice." ”

"Yes, sir, don't you say that I will also introduce its superior performance below, everyone look here......" Liszt responded with a smile, and pointed to a small round bag under the belly: "Here is the core of my discovery 1 UAV target detection, using the AN/ASQ-170 target acquisition system and AN/AAQ-11 night vision system under the nose of the 'Apache' gunship that just entered service with the army last year."

Of course, our one cannot be as advanced as the one used by the military, because their thing is too heavy for our Discovery 1 to be able to carry at all, so we can only use its simplified version of the AN/ASQ-180 target acquisition system and the AN/AAQ-15 night vision system, which is roughly the same structure as the Apache upper system, inheriting the laser ranging and calibration system, the forward-looking infrared system, the daytime television camera and the laser calibrator, as well as the most advanced nighttime imaging device......"

What did everyone in the scene hear?h Airlines' UAV used the same photoelectric detection system on the latest AH-64 "Apache" gunship in the US military, and everyone subconsciously felt that En~~ This thing is reliable, no way, they may not know about the discovery of 1 UAV, but they can't not know about "Apache".

For the sake of the morale of the domestic people, the US military has done a lot of propaganda before and after the "Apache" is put into service, what is the world's strongest helicopter gunship, the terminator of the torrent of Soviet tanks, and so on, and the explosive propaganda can be said to have made the ears of the American people out of the cocoon, and even those who have been concerned about armaments for a long time can almost recite the performance of the "Apache."

Because of this, when I heard that H Airlines actually used the same technology as "Apache", I felt that the performance of this drone should not be wrong.

If the detection equipment of the Discovery 1 UAV makes people feel reliable, then the communication and navigation introduced by Liszt next make everyone in the field feel even more stable.

TDMA, which is the same technology as the military 11 data link, is responsible for command transmission, while another CDMA communication technology is responsible for image transmission, and the "Meridian" satellite positioning system and other auxiliary navigation systems that are being used by the US military are also installed in it.

So that the whole Discovery 1 UAV can be controlled and flown with a control vehicle transformed from a truck, and get detection photos and even images of the front in real time.

After saying some performance, Liszt straightened up with a smile and concluded: "More importantly, our discovery No. 1 is flexible and does not require an airport, a section of road, a grassland, or even a section of sand and gravel ground on a platform can take off, and it is really not possible to weld a guide rail with a steel pipe several meters long, because we can also use rockets to boost."

Maybe you don't believe me, no problem, if you're interested, after the hearing, I'll take you to Pennsylvania, which is adjacent to Washington, which is about forty minutes away, and you know that Washington is no-flying, so I had to arrange where to put the flight display. ”
