Chapter 1173: Participate in the solo exhibition by the way

"I've really thought about it," McDonald Jr. nodded, "but this year's Paris Air Show has just ended, and next year's Farnborough Air Show will be in September, this ......"

That's right!

Listening to what McDonald Jr. said, Chen Geng also understood McDonald's dilemma: Among the three major air shows in the world, the Paris Air Show was held in the early summer of odd-numbered years, and this year's Paris Air Show just ended;

The Farnberg Airshow is held in the first week of September in even-numbered years, which means that there is still more than a year and three months left before next year's Farnborough Airshow, which is too long from a promotional point of view;

As for the Singapore Airshow, which is known as the world's three major air shows along with the Paris Air Show in France and the Farnbileu Air Show in the United Kingdom, the Paris Air Show and the Farnbrough Air Show said that you should go away for Lao Tzu! How many planes can you put down in your big fart?

Chen Geng thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of the Canadian Airshow in September? It's still too late to sign up for the UK, right?"

As to who is one of the world's three major air shows at the Canadian Airshow and the Singapore Airshow, the two are almost going to have a dog's brain: The Singapore Airshow says that Lao Tzu is the only air show in Asia with major international influence, and who else is the world's top three air shows? The Canadian Airshow says that you will go away for Lao Tzu! You are embarrassed to say that you are one of the three major air shows in the world that was only held in the early 80s and has been held less than double digits so far? Lao Tzu held the first air show in 1946!

In fact, it is true, for many Chinese people ten or twenty years later, they will probably think that Singapore is one of the three major air shows in the world, and it is also one of the most internationally influential air shows in Asia, but for Europeans and Americans in this era, the influence of the Singapore Airshow is indeed not as good as the Canadian Airshow that has been held since 1946.

Hearing Chen Geng talk about the Canadian Air Show, Little MacDonald's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, there is also the Canadian Air Show, why did I forget this?"

As for the question of whether McDonnell Douglas will be able to participate in the Canadian Airshow, McDonald Jr. doesn't think it's a problem at all.

For McDonnell Douglas Group, they will definitely participate in all the world's most influential air shows, and participating in these air shows is not necessarily for how many aircraft are sold, but more for publicity. For example, Coca-Cola or KFC go back to advertise the same reason: I know that I am very well-known, and there is no need to advertise at all, but the reason why Lao Tzu continues to advertise on various media platforms is to tell the world that Lao Tzu used to be very good X, and now he is still very good, and Lao Tzu is always in front of your eyes and maintains a sufficient sense of existence.

Aircraft manufacturers participate in all kinds of air shows, in fact, it is almost the same reason, if an aircraft manufacturer does not go to an air show, in addition to the enterprise is on the verge of bankruptcy, the biggest possibility is that the influence of this air show is not good, such as in 1996 when we held the first Zhuhai @ Hainan Air Show, that is really few foreign aviation manufacturing companies willing to participate in the exhibition, basically we entertain ourselves, but you look at the current Zhuhai Air Show, the aviation manufacturing companies that come to participate in the exhibition are really Wu Yang Wu Di, take a closer look at the list of exhibitors, you will be curious that there are really not so many aircraft manufacturing companies in the worldIsn't it just Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier? What is the origin of this company? What the hell is that company? Why have you never heard of it?

For McDonnell Douglas, they are simply the super VIP of the Canadian Airshow, not to mention the MD-12, the double-engine version of the MD-11, the F150 introduced from Chen Geng's COMAC Group, and other military and civilian aircraft, are also going to be unveiled at the Canadian Airshow. ”

Does COMAC also exhibit at the Canadian Airshow?

Chen Geng originally had no idea of participating in the Canadian Air Show, but McDonald's suggestion at the moment made Chen Geng start the weekend: Speaking of COMAC, there are also a lot of products, shouldn't you use this way to participate in the air show to let more people know?

At present, the low-end models of the COMAC Group include the Y-11 with a new piston engine, the Y-12 that has obtained the British airworthiness certification, the Z-9 series helicopter, the F100/F150 series passenger aircraft imported from Fokker, and the Yak-130 advanced jet trainer/entry-level fighter jointly designed and developed with the Yakovlev Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union.

In addition to aircraft, COMAC has also made achievements in the field of aero engines, not only the AI-25TL series turbofan engine imported from the Soviet Union's Ivchenko Design Bureau, but also the latest AI-222-25 series military turbofan engine, in addition to the "tay" series and RB211 series aero engines imported from the British Rolls-Royce Group, and the RB211 gas turbine gas generator developed on the basis of the RB211 engine......

Counting his fingers like this, Chen Geng suddenly felt: Well, it is necessary to find a stage to swing the family of COMAC Group to the top and show off.

However, although Chen Geng made up his mind, considering the time, Chen Geng hesitated: "Is it too late to sign up now?"

Little MacDonald suddenly laughed, and he patted Chen Geng's shoulder: "Don't worry, leave it to me...... Look, the plane is back. ”

Chen Geng hurriedly looked at the sky, but no, the huge MD-12 in the sky had entered the landing procedure, and began to slowly think about the runway sliding, as the altitude became lower and lower, with a burst of green smoke rising, the landing gear officially contacted the ground, and after completing the perfect takeoff, the MD-12 landed perfectly.

Looking at the MD-12, which was rapidly sliding towards the end of the runway, Chen Geng happily patted little MacDonald on the shoulder: "Mike, you succeeded, congratulations!"

"Huh...... Hehe......"

The excited little Macdonald nodded desperately, unable to speak: the first flight of the MD-12 was a complete success, and there was nothing more exciting for the little MacDonald.

........................

When Chen Geng and McDonald Jr. were excited about the world's first MD-12 completing its first flight and landing, Wang Xiaodong, the director of Xifei, was looking at the aircraft in the workshop that had just completed the final assembly and commissioning with red eyes......
