Chapter 937: Boeing's Response
Following.
Major online media and TV news have rushed to report on the scene that happened in Shezhou City Airport last night.
In the video, the banshee aircraft that covers the sky and the excitement of the passengers stranded at the airport have become the most beautiful scenery in the Spring Festival.
Affected by the cold air, Shezhou is not the only place where the airport is blocked by heavy snow.
Now half of the country's cities are snowing heavily, but most of the local airports, unlike Shezhou, are built at the foot of the mountains, and there are many restrictions on aircraft take-off and landing, so many airports are only delayed for half a day to a day of flights, and then urgently remove ice and snow and reopen.
Many people, sitting in airports and train stations, saw this news video.
At this moment, the mood of the passengers almost exploded, and the pride rose to a fixed point.
Compared with the Banshee Flying Machine, the traditional Boeing Airbus plane, how fragile it is at this moment. In the waiting hall, the remarks of those foreign passengers before the appearance of the banshee flying machine, and the demeanor after the appearance, contrasted the subversion and shock of the banshee flying machine.
The scene that happened at Shezhou Airport soon crossed the ocean and appeared in foreign news media.
Because many of the stranded passengers at Shezhou Airport are Europeans and Americans.
On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, in the United States, this five-minute news video quickly circulated on the Internet.
The picture of the banshee flying machine, just like the "bomb cyclone" that ravaged half of the United States not long ago, ravaged the hearts of American netizens.
In fact, the words "Behemoth Industry" have always been taboo that US officials and the press are reluctant to mention. Because this company has cooperated with almost all developed countries, but they treat the United States as if it were a class enemy, and they are strictly guarded against the United States.
The United States, on its part, is naturally reluctant to help the monster industry with propaganda.
However, in the face of global networking, it is of course impossible for the United States to realize such an idea. Even though it's night, netizens are still frantically searching for any news material related to the Banshee Flying Machine.
Just like the American traveler interviewed by reporters in the news video. Americans are born with an aura of superiority in their hearts, especially in the face of technology.
Beginning with the Wright brothers in 1903, America's pride in the aerospace industry has been maintained for more than 100 years. Almost all of the flight records, and the changes in aircraft design, were created by the United States. There are too many people in the United States, who go abroad to fly, and only choose Boeing.
They believe that Boeing is invincible, and Boeing is indeed invincible.
But when a full 280 banshee aircraft appeared in the sky above the airport in Huaxia, the hearts of the American people were violently shocked.
Pride is gone in front of the banshee flying machine.
Compared to it, a traditional airplane is like a toddler.
"It's a desperate gap, Huaxia always likes to overtake in corners, and the banshee flying machine is driving F1, right?"
"I very much hope it's a piece of fake news, but Twitter is retweeting everywhere and no expert dares to jump out and question it. Will our Boeing be finished?"
"I'm a French-American, and I think our Airbus is going to be finished. ”
"Will it be very expensive, I remember that our V-22 Osprey transport plane alone costs 1200 million US dollars. This kind of banshee flying machine is likely to cost 500 million US dollars. ”
"With close to three hundred, it is clear that this aircraft has the capacity for mass production. In the future aviation industry, the right to speak will be taken away by the giant beast industry. ”
"I'm a person who likes to speak honestly, and the Boeing plane is rubbish compared to it. ”
"Which Chinese upstairs, a Chinese?"
American netizens, one by one, with very complicated feelings, discussed and spoke on the Internet.
"Waste. ”
In the office of Boeing's headquarters in Iasitu, Chief Architect Edward, his eyes were like sharp blades, and he was glaring at a middle-aged man standing in front of his office.
Standing in front of him was the head of Boeing's salesman division, who, months earlier, had been in high spirits and had been scolding Fang in several countries in Asia. But now, more than 10 orders for passenger planes have collapsed from him.
"I can forgive you for the business over there, but you tell me, why did the order with the 13 Boeing 737 series of All Nippon Airways also fail?"
Under Edward's gaze, this middle-aged man with a powerful aura kept twitching at the moment, exposing his nervous heart.
"BOSS~ ANA said that they want to buy a banshee flying machine. ”
"Even though I lowered the price of my order by three percent as you instructed, they still didn't want to consider us. ”
"Buying a Banshee Flying Machine?" Edward, who had just finished watching the news video, laughed angrily, "Stupid, the current gap in Huaxia's flying machine alone is enough for the Behemoth Industry to work hard for several years." ”
"If they want to buy it, then they want to sell it too!"
"BOSS, I've analyzed the situation with them. ”
"But ......"
The head of the business department quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained: "But they replied that even if they order our Boeing series aircraft, it will take two years to get the aircraft." Rather than that, it is better to leave these two years to the Behemoth Industry. ”
"Maybe in two years, Behemoth Industries will be selling Banshee Flying Machines to the outside world. ”
"After all, the Behemoth Industry is not stingy with high-tech technology, and they are all able to sell the production equipment of ghost armor to the outside world, so in the future, it will be normal to sell more valuable banshee flying machines. ”
Faced with this explanation, Edward couldn't help but sneer.
ANA imagines the Behemoth Industry too well, and if they were a company that does not skimp on high-tech technology, they would have sold sewage treatment systems all over the world.
At the same time, ANA also imagines European and American countries to be too kind.
As one of the creators of international aerospace standards, Boeing will never be able to issue FAA certification for this aircraft without mastering the production technology of the Banshee Flying Machine. And Europe, which has Airbus, is even less likely to award EASA certification to Banshee Flying Machines.
Without these two proofs, it would be impossible for the banshee aircraft to go out of the gate of China and enter the international aviation market.
Because there is no airworthiness certificate from European and American countries, this aircraft cannot fly international routes and cannot land at airports in other countries. ANA is one of the world's largest airlines, and their main business is international flights.
Of course, this method of self-deception is not very restrictive to the banshee flying machine.
Just in the vast territory of Huaxia, the Banshee Flying Machine can fly freely, and at the same time, its range is not suitable for flying international routes. But Boeing and Airbus, even if they know that they are deceiving themselves, have to grit their teeth and deceive them, and there is no other way.
"You go down first, I hope this is the last time, and the negotiation with ANA fails. With a wave of his hand, Edward turned his gaze away.
Ten minutes later, another gray-haired old man walked in to give a briefing, and he was Boeing's chief engineer, Brammier.
At present, Boeing has also launched its own vertical take-off and landing passenger aircraft research and development project.
The project leader was none other than Chief Engineer Brammier.
"We built a one-man experimental vehicle using the energy batteries intercepted from the Thunder car. The propellers of the flying machine, we also imitate the banshee flying machine, with four ducted fans. ”
"It's just that its cruising time is only twenty-three minutes, and the cruising range is less than 200 kilometers. ”
"It doesn't have any commercial value. ”
"What went wrong?" Edward, the chief consul, was much more polite to the old engineer, who had only one thing left.
"It's still a matter of energy and thrusters. Chief Engineer Brammel smiled wryly: "Our ducted fan, the wasted thrust ratio is too serious. In addition, we do not have the production technology of plasma batteries at all, let alone higher-level batteries, even if they are currently used, they are also intercepted from thunder cars. ”
"I need technology, I need technology to keep up with the power of the Banshee Flying Machine and the technology of the thrusters. ”
"Don't be anxious, my old fellow. ”
"The [Mole Project], which is bought by money, has begun. Edward hurriedly asked his assistant to prepare a cup of coffee, and then said gently: "If nothing else, there will be news in the next two days." ”
"What's the success rate?" asked Engineer Brammier.
Edward's mood finally improved, and he said with a smile: "We have allocated 100 million US dollars, what do you say is the success rate?"
