Chapter 882: Arrangement of the route
——Giant Beast Industry settled in the private aviation business?
- Behemoth Industry is capricious, buying airlines and selling airplanes to play.
- Behemoth Industries, the magical behavior that makes people unpredictable.
It didn't take two days for the media to shift the focus from Chang Yule of Red Seal Airlines to Skynet Aviation of Behemoth Industries.
The name Skynet is very imposing, and it has the unrealistic ambition to rule the world's aviation, but what is the operation of a plane that does not stay?
According to the relevant regulations of civil aviation, if an airline wants to apply for a commercial flight route, in addition to examining the hardware qualification of the airline, it is more critical to provide a commercial aircraft that meets the requirements of the aircraft.
It's not like buying a Boeing plane and putting it into operation right away.
Before the aircraft flies, it has to go through complicated and cumbersome acceptance procedures, and a complete set of route logistics must be established. Now Skynet Airlines has sold all the planes in operation, which means that they may be disqualified from these routes by the civil aviation department at any time.
After all, Skynet Airlines can't occupy the pit and not pull that nothing, once the route is canceled, it will be difficult to regain the route.
The newly established Skynet Airlines has almost become an empty shell.
The plane is gone, and naturally the aviation base of Tianfu Airport will also be canceled.
The plane is gone, and there is no need for a complete set of aircraft mechanical maintenance equipment in the base. These things are packaged and sold to other airlines.
As the media swarmed to report and dig deeper.
They found that after the acquisition of Red Seal Airlines and the change of its name, Behemoth Industries followed up with a number of major moves.
For example, they relocated the headquarters of Skynet Airlines from Tianfu City to Zhongyun City, for example, they sent dozens of delegations to 23 provinces in China and several municipalities and autonomous regions in one go. I heard that a large piece of land should be acquired in each place and used for construction.
What exactly is being built?
Judging by the location of several provinces, the location of Behemoth Industries seems to be arbitrary, taking into account the topography and the height of the surrounding buildings.
At first, the media was still speculating with great interest whether the giant beast industry would build an airport on a large scale? Now with the location of Shanghai City being determined, the possibility of an airport has naturally been ruled out.
Not only the location, but the newly established Skynet Airlines, according to reason, the aircraft and mechanical maintenance equipment have been sold, so there is no need for the remaining mechanics and flight attendants.
Raising them, you can only waste wages.
But Behemoth Industries did the opposite, not only did not lay off employees. It also raised the basic salary of these people by a large margin, and published recruitment advertisements with great fanfare, inviting more mechanics and flight attendants from all walks of life to come to Skynet Airlines to work.
The media tried to interview the top officials of the Behemoth Industry, but these people were tight-lipped and did not leak the slightest rumor.
……
A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
After a week of digging into the roots, and without figuring out the specific intentions of the Behemoth Industry, the media focused the news elsewhere.
This week, the outside world does not know the intentions of the giant beast industry, but within the giant beast industry, several important steps have been completed in the layout of the aviation industry.
Skynet Airlines' headquarters was relocated to Zhongyun in a wilderness 20 kilometers from Longxi Beach, east of Zhongyun City. There is no sea, but far from the city center, there are only large farmlands and sparse dwellings on the edge of the farmland.
The reason for choosing this place is simple: Behemoth Industries has already secured the commercial use rights of the land and is preparing to build an airport here for the operation of sophisticated flying machines.
Behemoth Industry plans to invest 10 billion yuan to build 50 demonstration airports in the country in advance. Zhongyun is the largest airport because the headquarters of Skynet Airlines is also here.
In the intensive construction of the airport, the production center of exquisite aircraft in the Longxitan factory has also been quietly completed.
After completion, the production center has the capacity to produce 50 compact aircraft per day.
What is the concept of fifty a day?
The well-known Boeing Company delivered only 800 new aircraft of various types last year. Boeing has too many orders every year to finish, and their biggest problem is how to expand, expand, and expand their production capacity.
Now a new aircraft manufacturer has been quietly established in Huaxia, which can mass-produce 1,500 aircraft a month, and the passenger capacity is equivalent to two new Boeing 737 aviation aircraft. At full power, it can produce 18,000 aircraft a year.
Annual production is twenty-two times that of Boeing......
Six of the Compact Craft have been assembled, along with the original one, three of which were sold to the Air Force for their test flights to collect data and make changes to the airframe as needed. The other four, one was sent to Tianfu Aviation Group to undergo the famous destructive static test. The other three were sent to the civil aviation department for flight test tests.
As long as the static test and flight test are passed, the exquisite aircraft can obtain the airworthiness certification issued by the Huaxia Civil Aviation Department and be officially put into commercial operation.
Originally, these two tests took a long time, even for the new aircraft of the Boeing family, the test period was about a year.
However, several bigwigs of the Air Force have spoken, and they must go all out to complete the test work of the exquisite aircraft as soon as possible. Therefore, all the aircraft currently being tested have made way for the compact aircraft, and the test department has to work overtime.
The price of airplanes is more expensive than gold, and the unit price of Boeing's large models often exceeds one billion yuan.
When these aircraft manufacturers develop and produce a new model, they are usually reluctant to take out one of them and send it to the relevant departments for testing.
First of all, the gentle avionics system, test flights in various weather conditions. Once these test flights are complete, the aircraft undergoes a series of rough tests.
One example is the interrupted take-off test, which simulates the harshest conditions that an aircraft encounters during take-off on the runway.
The complete test included complete brake failure, aircraft exceeding maximum take-off weight, tire rupture, engine afterburner failure, etc. In these tests, the landing gear of the aircraft will be subjected to destructive testing, and the aviation manufacturer will often come into the field with an aircraft, and the landing gear will be repaired if it is broken, and replaced if it cannot be repaired.
The compact aircraft does not need to undergo an interrupted take-off test because it does not need to taxi on the runway for take-off like a conventional aircraft.
After the take-off is interrupted, it is the extreme situation encountered by the aircraft in flight.
For example, hitting birds, such as thunderstorms, such as low-altitude heavy rains. These tests can be simulated by human means, using a high-velocity air device to launch slaughtered chickens. Lightning strikes are simulated with an arc generator, and rainstorms are simulated with artificial rain screens.
However, no matter which test is conducted, it will have an impact on the aircraft body. Airlines test one project at a time, and the aircraft is repaired once.
This was followed by tests in extreme conditions during landing and forced landing, and by the time all tests were over, the aircraft had tinkered with it several times.
The airline will send the aircraft to participate in the static test.
Static testing, also known as the "death test", is a test in which mechanical devices are used to test the force limits of various parts of the aircraft.
In this test, every inch of the airplane's fuselage is torn and squeezed, constantly torn and squeezed, until the fatigue value of the fuselage material reaches the limit.
Once the tests are complete, the aircraft will be completely scrapped.
This is also the reason why a whole set of test processes for an aircraft often takes more than a year.
Others are only willing to use one, tinkering while testing. Behemoth Industries has a lot of money, and sent four flying machines to test it in one go.
One undergoes destructive tests, and the other three, participating in different test steps.
The runway take-off and landing tests were omitted, and the test department worked overtime, which was of course faster than ever!
It's not just about testing.
If an ordinary airline disregards the interests of consumers and sells all its planes in one go, then the civil aviation department will definitely be blushing and canceling all the routes of this company in one go.
Skynet Airlines' routes have not only not been canceled, but have been expanded.
Shanghai flies to the capital's route!
Jinling Feiyang City's route!
The route of Tianfu Feipeng City!
Not a single one.
These are all popular routes for all airlines in China, and if you want to apply for these routes, you can't just rely on relationships, but also have more than the service capacity of several state-owned airlines.
Otherwise, squeeze into this route, and consumers will also vote with their feet.
And there are so many planes flying on these routes that not only domestic airlines, but also other airlines around the world are also carrying passengers on these routes. Even if Behemoth Industries wants to apply, the famous aviation department will have a lot of concerns.
The working mode of the compact aircraft is completely different from that of traditional aircraft, and it is also a big test for the scheduling of civil aviation to let the compact aircraft enter the popular routes.
Ye Qing decided to go the other way and apply for those non-competitive routes.
The number of airports in the country is only a pitiful more than 100, taking Jiangnan Province as an example. Jiangnan Province currently has nine airports, but Jiangnan Province has a total of 13 cities, 26 county-level cities, and 24 counties.
Of the 63 cities, large and small, only nine airports serve them, and several prefecture-level cities do not even have airports.
Not only is there a shortage of airports, but the airport routes in Jiangnan Province do not fly to each other in the province.
The northern and southern cities of Jiangnan Province are more than 500 kilometers away. Fortunately, where there is no high-speed rail, passengers will waste more than ten hours on the road when they come and go. If you get stuck in traffic on holidays, you can only resign yourself to fate.
Therefore, Ye Qing's first phase goal is to put it in those cities where there are no local airports.
There is no airport, naturally there are no flights, and Skynet Airlines happily eats alone.
Local citizens can also experience aviation flights.
