Chapter 918: Let's increase the number of flights

Boeing is the world's largest manufacturer of civil and military aircraft.

Boeing is not only the dominant player in the global aerospace industry, but it is also a very diverse company.

He is also a major service provider to NASA and also operates the International Space Station.

The company employs 100,000 people and serves customers in more than 90 countries around the world.

At Boeing's headquarters in Arcietu, Edward, the current Boeing consul, has a bad expression like his wife has run away with someone.

There are many other people with similar expressions to him, and these people are all top management of Boeing. They sat together in the conference room, and the screen in the conference room was playing the official news of Huaxia.

"Looking back at 2017, it was a year in which Boeing continued to take off. ”

"Last year, we released our latest market outlook. We predict that in the next 10 years, the size of China's air travel market will leap to the top in the world. The number of commercial aircraft in China will triple in 15 years. ”

"We were ready to go all out. ”

"But damn Behemoth Industries!" Edward, who hadn't been angry for a long time, made an exception this month, and the expert even named their Boeing 737 as an example.

He didn't just know about the Banshee Flying Machine, as early as two months ago, he had a channel to learn that the Behemoth Industry might be developing a flying machine.

Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, Apple, Tesla.

The two big bureaus, and the two large-scale technology companies, have suffered the losses of the giant beast industry early. Although Boeing has no business conflict with them, can it not be wary of this company after being exposed to it for so long?

As early as Tesla's research on plasma batteries, Boeing considered the possibility of using such batteries to build aerial vehicles.

Due to Tesla's failure to figure out why, and the energy density of the plasma battery mounted on the thunder car cannot support the aircraft to fly for a long time, Boeing has abandoned this plan.

But two months ago, there was news from the side of the giant beast industry that had been paying attention to several big things.

Behemoth Industry began to look for a number of accessories manufacturers for aviation aircraft, and Behemoth Industry designed accessories and commissioned these manufacturers to produce.

It's not hard to get these accessories, and then they find out that many of these accessories are related to commercial aircraft.

For example, cabin lights, emergency breathing masks, aviation life jackets, cabin automatic fire extinguishing equipment, etc......

No company will order large quantities of accessories that have nothing to do with the industry for no reason. Behemoth Industries began ordering accessories for commercial aircraft, and naturally began to build aircraft.

The news soon reached Boeing, and Chief Architect Edward couldn't sit still and began to focus on China on the other side of the Pacific. But he never imagined that it would only take two months for Behemoth Industries to launch these flying machines on the market.

Damn, even if they launch an aircraft, it will take a long one to two years of verification before they can obtain a commercial airworthiness certificate.

It took half a month for the Behemoth Industries......

"Boss, the top priority now is to get a banshee flying machine and conduct research. ”

"It's not a thunder car, you can transport it from the sea for a fee. This is an innovative aircraft that has been highly valued by the Chinese Civil Aviation and Air Force, tell me, how to get it?" Edward, whose hair was already gray, felt that he seemed to have a tendency to turn completely white in the past month.

This aircraft, judging from the exposed and unexposed information, has completely subverted the imagination of Edward and Boeing and other high-level executives.

Compared with the Banshee Flying Machine, their Boeing 737 series is like a firearm two hundred years ago, and there is a huge gap between it and modern high-precision sniper rifles.

Huaxia officials have revealed enough information on the news.

In the future, they will let the banshee aircraft completely replace the traditional commercial aviation market in China. It also means, from this moment on.

In the world's largest aerospace market, thousands of new aircraft orders in the future have not been connected to Boeing.

Two of the three Air China companies in China have already sent people to negotiate the cancellation of the contract for the new 737 series aircraft in 18 years. If it weren't for their biggest competitor Airbus, they would also face this situation, and now Edward estimates that he is in the mood to jump off the building.

The first priority is to get a banshee flying machine.

But the problem is that the giant beast industry is completely self-produced and sold, and does not sell it to the outside world at all. If you want to get a commercial aircraft, I'm afraid that the missiles of the Huaxia Air Force will be the first to be unwilling.

"BOSS, the layout of the cabin of the banshee aircraft, and the layout of the cockpit are easy to obtain, but the most difficult ones are energy and engines. Another senior in charge of technology said with a sad face: "The core is also energy and engines. ”

"According to our analysis, the engine on the Banshee Flying Machine is different from any traditional motor structure. ”

"This is likely to be a brand-new motor that surpasses rare earth permanent magnet motors, and we in the United States have not even proposed a technical solution. ”

"If you can't get a Banshee Flying Machine, where will the engine and energy technology come from?" Edward glanced at everyone, "This flying machine, I don't think it will be allowed to be exported abroad in five years, neither Huaxia nor the Behemoth Industry will allow it to be exported." ”

"China's vast commercial aviation market is also enough to support the appetite of the giant beast industry in the next few years. ”

"If you want to get a banshee or the technology in the banshee, we can't do it at all at Boeing, which requires the cooperation of many departments. Edward raised his hand and said, "Now we have reached the point where we will die slowly if we don't work hard. ”

"So, so that we don't get stuck in the building with employees who have to be laid off because of the decrease in orders. ”

"Let's get going, and use all the means we can think of to get the technology of a banshee flying machine. ”

……

At nine o'clock in the evening, Skynet Airlines headquarters airport.

In the dark sky above the airport, from nine o'clock, there was a continuous roar.

Banshee flying machines flew from all over the country to the headquarters airport.

It only took one day of sailing, and the Banshee Flying Machine worked wonders.

With the exception of the first wave of early morning flights, all flights of the Banshee Flying Machine were 100 percent occupant today. All seats are fully booked, whether in economy class or first class, which is more than three times the ticket price.

The cabin was full, and according to the news from airports around the country, the airport was even full.

The problem of difficulty in buying tickets for the Spring Festival has always been there, and at the beginning of the Spring Festival this year, people found that there was one more travel option.

And this kind of travel efficiency is a big cut off trains and planes.

Therefore, countless passengers who couldn't buy tickets, with the mentality of giving it a try, crowded into the airport of Skynet Airlines. Like the big airports that have built terminals, they are full of people inside and out.

Two hundred and forty Banshee Flying Machines can carry 57,600 passengers on a single trip.

But today, many Skynet Airlines flights have flown only once.

On the first day of operation, Skynet Airlines mainly gave its pilots a familiarity with their flight experience and a clear understanding of the situation on the route. After all, these pilots learned to fly traditional airplanes, and for the first time they touched the real machine of the Banshee Flying Machine.

After this semi-test flight, the pilots generally reported that the real Banshee Flying Machine was much easier to drive than the simulated pilot.

Getting into the cockpit of a banshee is easier than driving a car.

When driving a car, you should always pay attention to whether there are pedestrians and whether there are cars rushing to the road. With this on, the aircraft can switch to autopilot mode as soon as it enters the stratosphere.

So in the evening, the pilots, at the wrap-up meeting, strongly asked for more flights the next day.

Ye Qing and Chang Wanyu were both at the meeting site, Ye Qing was originally going to say that everyone had worked hard, but as a result, this group of pilots was full of energy.

"Boss, I think I'll be able to fly ten flights tomorrow. ”

"Boss, I can fly fifteen times. At the critical moment of the Spring Festival, we can't just watch the passengers, we can't go back home!"

"Boss, just squeeze me, I'm iron, I'm not afraid of getting tired. ”

In the salary structure of pilots, there are flying hours.

For every hour of flight, domestic airlines generally pay 60 to 100 hours for each hour of flight.

If you don't fly, you won't have this money.

Skynet Airlines is one hundred and fifteen here, and then the Spring Festival is a special period, giving double the hourly fee. These pilots generally believe that they only need to sleep six hours a day.
