Chapter 1 Transoceanic flight of the first large passenger aircraft
Today is the press conference and transoceanic flight experiment of the first large passenger aircraft developed by Xingchen Science and Technology Laboratory and manufactured by Eagle Power Company. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Kadri, how long will it take for our aircraft to be mass-produced?"
Kadri Molde is the general manager of Eagle Power, with full responsibility for the company's affairs, and he knows a lot about the process of obtaining production permits for aircraft, which is the main reason why Zhou Yi hired him as the manager of Eagle Power.
"There has never been a large passenger plane in the world that can fly across the ocean, so there is no definite time for the people in the Quality Supervision Bureau.
If there are no major problems with the current small airliner, it will take about a year to obtain a production license.
While we haven't yet set a definite process for sure it's safe to fly, you have to know that flying across the ocean means more rigorous testing, so I estimate it will take at least a year and a half. ”
"If it's going to take a year and a half, I won't be able to catch up with this year's special member event, which is a problem, and I want to gather special members from all over the world this year."
"Is it possible to have several aircraft on a flight mission before the results of the review come out?"
"If it's not a large batch, it should be fine, but you still need a special license, this kind of thing is not a very difficult thing for the boss, and the Quality Supervision Bureau will not block it too much.
The reason for the establishment of the Quality Supervision Bureau is to prevent large-scale air crashes caused by the sale of certain aircraft types that may have hidden dangers by aircraft manufacturing companies, and this is also to maintain the development of the aviation industry.
But if it's a small batch, it should be no problem to use it yourself, and now no one uses the transoceanic flight channel at all, and then apply for a special channel, there are always some people who have some special magic energy props that can fly, this kind of thing The Quality Supervision Bureau will not be so strict. ”
Zhou Yi nodded
"If that's the case, it would be even better, I was going to make it into a magic item, so it would be easier to get permission."
Kadri Molde lifted his wrist and glanced at the time on his watch
"It's 12 o'clock in five minutes, and the press conference is about to start."
"Boss, the press conference is about to start, I'll go first."
"Hmm"
Kadri Molde retired and walked behind the stage where the press conference was held, tidied up his tie and outfit, and walked to the front of the stage at the beckoning of the host.
"Today's announcement is very simple, and you must have heard of it, that is, the first large passenger aircraft that can fly across the ocean, the Eagle-1, has officially entered the quality inspection process.
At the same time, this is also the first press conference after the formation of Eagle Power, and it is believed that today's events will go down in history, and humans can travel between continents from the air. ”
"Click"
"Click"
"Click"
The reporters standing in the audience recorded this moment with flashing lights
Kadri Molde turned and pointed to the picture of the large airliner that appeared on the screen
"This large airliner has a completely new engine, a turbofan engine, which has the advantages of high thrust and low fuel consumption ratio, which can carry more passengers and a larger fuel tank."
The aircraft's passenger data and fuel level data are displayed on the screen.
"The aircraft has a maximum passenger capacity of 783 passengers, a maximum load capacity of 90 tons, a maximum range of 9,200 kilometers and a maximum speed of Mach 0.92.
With it, we no longer need to spend more than ten days traveling across continents, and it takes us less than ten hours to get from here to other continents, which makes it easier to travel between continents. ”
"Papapa"
The people sitting at the bottom applauded, no one hated such an invention, considering that it took too long to get on a boat.
For journalists, this is a big event worth reporting
"The follow-up of the Eagle-1 will be disclosed by our company on the official website, if you are interested, you can also make a reservation in half a year, now into the reporter's question time, I will accept 12 reporters to interview, each person is limited to one question.
Well, this gentleman in a blue suit. ”
"Hello, I'm a reporter from the Aircraft Power News, and the question I want to ask is why this Eagle-1 aircraft has reached Mach 0.92, but why hasn't it exceeded the speed of sound?"
"This is because the general designer of our company believes that large supersonic aircraft are a safety hazard, so there is no design of a large passenger aircraft that can fly at supersonic speeds.
Next, the lady in the white blouse. ”
"Hello, I'm a reporter from the Daily News, and I want to ask how much is a large passenger plane like the Eagle-1 that can fly across the ocean?"
"The price of the Eagle-1 should be around 170 million talons.
The next one, the man, yes, that's you. ”
"Hello, I am a reporter from Xinye Daily, and I want to ask what caused you to jump to this Eagle Power company as a senior executive of Tuckers a year ago?
I remember that Eagle Power was a new company that had just been formed, and many people were not optimistic about your job hopping. ”
"When the boss of this company approached me, I didn't think I would go to work for such a brand new company with no patents, but he struck me, 'When are you going to be the general manager of Tuckers?' If you come to my company, you will be there right away. ’
In addition, I met the technical team of this company, so I agreed, maybe many people didn't understand at the time, but now they must be jealous of me. ”
Zhou Yi felt that Kadri Molde could handle these difficult reporters, so he went back to the car to rest and wait for the news of this test flight.
"When will the test flight of the aircraft begin?"
Zhou Yi took the juice handed over by the housekeeper and asked
"Young master, it's going to start at 13:00, do you want to sleep for a while?"
"Just go back, just wait for a call from Kadri Molde."
Zhou Yi is full of confidence in the Eagle-1 aircraft, this aircraft was designed by his hands, and a lot of technology points have been used to overcome difficulties, and he has secretly flown many times before, so he is not worried at all.
"Today, I've taken a day off, so let's go home and read books and tinker with magic energy props, and that magic energy props company should also be on the agenda."
