After personally piloting the plane, Zhang Fan was very satisfied with the plane. The performance is very good and it is very quiet.

The electric propellers are hardly noisy, and they are not heard at all in the cabin, let alone those on the ground in the air.

It is a small aircraft with a small size but flexible operation. The speed of the electric motor is much higher than that of the internal combustion engine, so the thrust of these two aircraft is very high.

This is also the main reason why this plane can be lifted into the air at more than 300 meters. The aircraft has also been blown through a professional wind tunnel and is very aerodynamic.

At the same time, electric aircraft have a slight advantage over fuel aircraft. That is, the structure is simple, and the maintenance is very convenient.

Compared with fuel aircraft in the same class, the advantages of this aircraft are too great. So the future market is very broad.

Leaving the airport, Zhang Fan came to the aircraft production line. In the huge factory, four advanced production lines are already being equipped.

"What is the annual production?"

Zhang Fan asked curiously.

"Each production line has an annual output of 3,000 units. ”

The words of the person in charge made Zhang Fan nod. Four production lines, producing 12,000 units per year, this output is already good.

After all, this is a production aircraft, but this level of aircraft is small, simple in structure, and the production line is very advanced, so it is not troublesome to produce.

The annual output of 12,000 aircraft seems to be a lot, but compared to the huge market, it is not too much.

But this output is definitely okay in a short period of time.

"How much does it cost to manufacture?"

The cost determines the selling price. Compared to cars, airplanes are much more expensive.

"At present, the cost price of each aircraft is about 4.5 million, and the research and development expenses are 1.2 billion ......."

Hearing this number, Zhang Fan was even satisfied. The R&D cost of 1.2 billion is not high, if 10,000 are produced, each one will be divided into 120,000.

Even so, the cost price is only 4.62 million. And the cheapest fuel aircraft of the same level have to sell for tens of millions.

As far as the Air Kingdom 350 is concerned, this aircraft is actually similar to this Airbus. Although Airbus is smaller than Air Kingdom, the fuel tank of Air Kingdom is much larger than that of Airbus's battery.

So in terms of interior space, the Air Kingdom 350 is not as big as the Airbus. Everything else is similar, and Airbus is a little better than the Kingdom of the Sky.

Aside from the fact that the range is a little worse, there is no big difference. And how much is the kingdom in the air, 45 million.

So Airbus' margins are very high. Such an aircraft, priced at 20 million yuan, is definitely very sought-after.

Even if it sells for 50 million, it is estimated that those airlines will buy it. Because the later maintenance and repair of electric aircraft is much cheaper than that of fuel aircraft.

Operating costs are also low, and all in all, each aircraft saves a lot of money per year. As for the range. A cruising range of 1500 km is enough for short flights.

"Wait for the production line to be debugged. We will not sell this aircraft externally in the short term, but we will use it very much internally. ”

Zhang Fan said seriously that at present, Zhang Fan does not plan to put this aircraft on sale.

The advantages of this aircraft are too great, how cool it is to build an airline on your own. The money is earned by yourself, so why let others earn it.

You can make money not only at home, but also abroad. With the advantages of this aircraft, many airlines can be suppressed.

In China, this plane can directly grab the business of high-speed rail. For example, Yanjing to Shanghai. The distance in a straight line is 1050 km, and the plane is there in two hours.

And by high-speed rail, it takes four and a half hours at the earliest. Most of them take about five and a half hours. Relative to this time, two hours of flight time is much less.

At present, the price of high-speed rail, the second-class seat also needs 558 yuan. The ticket price to join the airbus is 600 yuan, and there will definitely be many people who will choose to make a plane.

If it is full every time, then it is an income of 7,200 yuan at a time. After deducting the electricity bill of 2,000 yuan, there are 5,200 yuan left.

After deducting taxes and workers' wages, there must be at least 4,000 yuan left. Even if you fly back and forth a day, you have to make a profit of 8,000 yuan a day.

At the same time, this aircraft also has an advantage, that is, it can fly at night. The high-speed rail is suspended at night, and now the high-speed rail from Yanjing to Shanghai is the latest one at seven o'clock in the evening.

If someone goes out urgently at night, they can't take the high-speed rail. But the plane can fly at night, and the big deal is that the ticket price is a little more expensive than during the day, and there will be a lot of people sitting.

An electric aircraft, counting the charging time, there is no problem in flying two round trips a day. Two round-trips, eight hours of flight time, a minimum profit of 16,000 yuan a day.

Even if you fly 2,500 hours a year, that is, a little more than 300 days, then the annual profit of an aircraft is five million.

If the price is 20 million, the cost will be paid for in four years. Four years is only 10,000 flight hours, and this aircraft is designed to last 80,000 hours.

10,000 hours to recover the cost, and the remaining 70,000 hours are net profits. Such profits are very scary.

Money, it's all money. At such a speed of making money, it is more profitable than the big airlines. Don't look at the big airlines, the planes are big, and they carry a lot of passengers.

But the ticket price is expensive, the plane is expensive, and the flight cost is also expensive. This small plane earns less every time, but it can't bear the cost of others.

Besides, if the passenger capacity is small, it won't be able to support many planes. One can't do ten, ten can't get a hundred, a hundred can't do a thousand.

How flexible the small plane is, and you don't have to check in two hours in advance. It's the same as doing high-speed rail, I went with my luggage, and when it was full, the plane could fly directly.

Small has small benefits, and small planes are flexible and trouble-free. The big plane airport is in the suburbs again, and it is very troublesome to take it once.

And the airport of the small plane is directly in the vicinity of the loss, or it is located next to the high-speed rail station or the railway station. In this way, people get off the plane and go out to the city.

The construction of the airfield for small planes is also simple, which is again a propeller plane. Just buy a plot of land and water it with reinforced concrete. The runway doesn't need to be too long, 500 meters is enough, even if it's 1000 meters, it's nothing.

As for the terminal or something, just make a small one. It can be built underground and aboveground. The small plane is small, just fly over and get it directly into the underground hangar, this head, there is no bus captain.

If it weren't for the country's disapproval of unmanned flight, this aircraft would not even need a pilot, and the unmanned flight system would be sufficient.

However, the pilot training of this aircraft is also very simple. At that time, these pilots will be like bus drivers, but their salaries will be much higher than those of ordinary buses. A weapon to make money, this thing is a weapon to make money, and when the layout of Longteng Airlines is completed, it is definitely a big change for China's transportation industry.
