Chapter 36: Double Dragon and Phoenix Airliner

Guess what the meaning of FCA2819 in this chapter is?

The first testing machine, the FCA2819-V1, was built at the final assembly plant in Stuttgart and flew for more than 100 hours.

The delta wing structure makes the aircraft feel like the Concorde's big brother, but in fact it uses a more advanced and fuel-efficient FP1 turbojet engine, which allows it to have a range of 15,500 kilometers, cross the Atlantic, and cross the Pacific Ocean with only one stopover. This is a very powerful capability, because this aircraft is a legendary supersonic aircraft, with a limit speed of Mach 325 and a cruise speed of Mach 215, which can only be reached by Concorde, and even some current missile military fighters cannot catch up with this aircraft.

Liu Fei soon invited 200 people from all walks of life to participate in the first flight, and invited 30 reporters from very well-known newspapers around the world, including AV reporters. In addition, Liu Fei also invited Boeing engineers and Airbus engineers to participate in the first flight. Soon these people accepted the invitation and quickly rushed over, and after the retirement of the Concorde, there were no more supersonic aircraft in the world. Therefore, the test flight of a very likely supersonic aircraft must still be taken seriously, which is heavyweight big news.

Nicky; Old man Lauda was also invited by Liu Fei, and this old man was the most responsible airline boss Liu Fei had ever seen. After one of his 767s crashed in Thailand, he even went to the scene to survey the scene himself, and slammed the pot that was supposed to be a pilot on Boeing's face, making Boeing's face clang. Now the old man's Lauda Airlines has been acquired by Austrian Airlines, but the old man doesn't have any ideas, Liu Fei's idea is to find a way to absorb this guy into his own company, such a good leader has a good effect on the morale of the entire fleet.

Liu Fei's flight route is the route of Concorde Flight that year: Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport in France - New York Kennedy Airport in the United States, which is an out-and-out ultra-long flight, but the estimated flight time is very short.

……

Liu Fei arrived in the cockpit first, and only after the inspection did he let the passengers board, adding yellow, orange and orange jet fuel to the fuel tank while boarding.

Liu Fei turned on the in-flight radio and began to make a routine report before take-off: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the FCA2819 'Double Dragon Phoenix' test aircraft of Liu's Aviation Manufacturing Co., Ltd., our flight plan is roughly like this: first take off from Charles de Gaulle Airport, and then pass through the Atlantic Ocean to our destination...... Well, our destinations...... Our destination is also New York JFK Airport. The estimated time of the whole voyage is 2 hours and 17 minutes, but it should be shortened to about 2 hours if the impact of the time such as the arrival time is not calculated. Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived before we have even set off! ”

The four turbojet engines started in turn, and under the guidance of the taxiing guide vehicle, Liu Fei consumed 200 kilograms of fuel and taxied to the runway.

After twelve minutes in the sky, the plane had climbed to 55,000 feet and reached subsonic speeds. The plane, which was about to leave mainland France, began to turn on the afterburner to break through the sound barrier, when a small insertion window appeared on the display in the cabin - the current flight speed and flight altitude.

Liu Fei turned on the cabin broadcast again: "Ladies and gentlemen, now we are over the Atlantic, because we have previously flown directly to a waypoint, and our estimated time can be reduced by three minutes." Now we're breaking the sound barrier, and as you can see, we're now at Mach 099...... Now we have a speed of Mach 10...... Now we have a speed of Mach 225. Originally, we would have been cruising at this speed for the rest of the Atlantic, but now that it's a non-commercial flight, I'm going to accelerate to Mach 3. ”

With the number on the Mach meter increasing little by little, soon the double dragon and phoenix were accelerated to the speed of Mach 3.

At this time, because of the breakthrough of the sound barrier for supersonic flight, the plane is now stretched by 36 centimeters, but in the very long fuselage, this distance is not reflected at all, and only the cockpit with a sharp cone can clearly feel - the trim system begins to adjust the trim of the aircraft.

β€»β€»β€»After the autopilot is turned on, Liu Fei, as the captain, naturally has to go to the back cockpit to have a look, which is a habit of Liu Fei since he became a pilot.

Many people in the cockpit have made Concorde aircraft, but because the Concorde aircraft was designed in the 1965s, the engine technology at that time was not strong enough, and the cockpit was very narrow, but this supersonic aircraft was stunned to make the effect of an ordinary civil aircraft, at least the wide seats can explain everything.

The dual-aisle 3-2-3 seating configuration makes the cabin look very spacious, and Liu Fei walks from aisle to aisle, patiently answering the questions his passengers want to know.

When Japanese reporter Mr. Nag Shabi saw that Liu Fei was a young man from China, and he was still wearing a captain's uniform, he immediately felt angry and decided to find fault with Liu Fei. Anyway, there are so many reporters on the plane now, if Liu Fei does anything, it is impossible that he will not be protected by other reporters.

Nag asked Liu Fei, "Mr. Captain, why are you so young?" Could it be that Liu's Aviation is only left with young inexperienced pilots? ”

Liu Fei replied with a smile out of professional habits: "No, our captain team of Liu's Airlines is indeed younger, but I am a pilot with 7,000 hours of flying experience, of which 200 hours are on this plane, so you don't have to worry about any major accidents." ”

Nag said arrogantly: "Don't think I don't know how you flower growers train pilots, aren't you just practicing directly on the simulator?" How is it possible to practice a very professional captain in this way? ”

The air safety officer in the cockpit had already begun to touch the gun, because the Japanese in front of him seemed to be a little rushed.

Liu Fei said with a smile: "This Japanese gentleman must be drunk." But don't worry, don't we have a room where you can blow the wind? Let him blow the wind. ”

The air safety officer invited Mr. Nagsha to the "blow room" and opened the door, which was nothing unusual, except for a metal object that looked like a boat. Liu Fei cordially began to explain to you and Mr. Nag Shabi what this thing was through the camera.

"This is our latest technology, as long as the plane does not disintegrate directly at 55,000 feet, no matter what failure happens, there will be enough time in the survival compartment of the runway, which is the backup escape pod in the cockpit. Each cabin toilet has a door to the escape pod. Now this gentleman will show us the correct use of the escape pod, please observe carefully. ”

Then Liu Fei began to operate the puppet-like Nag Pen through mental manipulation and got into the escape capsule and then pressed the escape button, and then the hatch below was wide open, and the escape pod fell directly, but everyone saw the parachute open.

The belly camera then rotated to capture the descent route of the escape pod and present a high-definition image to the eyes of the passengers.

β€»β€»β€» The plane stopped at JFK Airport, and at this time Nagsha Pen was also helped by the rescue boat, but the pro's luggage was still on the plane.

Liu Fei held a press conference in front of the plane, and the background of the press conference was the FCA2819 "Double Dragon Phoenix" passenger aircraft.

The reporter from AV first asked: "Mr. Liu, why did you name this aircraft not according to FCA6X0, but FCA819?" ”

Liu Fei explained with a smile: "The previous aircraft will not be named this because it is a regional airliner or a twin-engine trunk airliner, and according to our company's internal naming principles, the four-engine airliner should be named the FCA8xx series." And because this is a supersonic passenger plane of great significance, I named her the FCA2819 'Double Dragon Phoenix' passenger aircraft. August 19th is my goddess's birthday, so there's nothing wrong with that. In addition, we at Liu's Aviation Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are also working on the FCA810, FCA819 and FCA820 aircraft, which are being developed as mainline airliners. However, due to various reasons, high-speed wind tunnel tests are still being carried out, and it is expected that it will not be sold until next year. At present, our ability to produce supersonic aircraft is not very strong, because our various materials are still relatively limited. However, we can still guarantee the factory speed of 13 to 24 aircraft per month. ”

A reporter from a certain stick country asked: "Mr. Liu, according to the emphasis of some officials of the Flower Planter, they think that your company should be a subsidiary of the Flower Planter Group, what do you think?" ”

Liu Fei squinted his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I don't want to make any comments here. I don't think you're telling a lie, but I won't comment on that, and if someone wants to infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of our Liu Group, I don't mind making some thunderous means to fight back. ”

FCA2819, FCA819, FCA810, FCA820 and other aircraft models have entered the ears of people all over the world, and all airlines are paying attention to this. And now all frequent air travelers are also very concerned about the airline that has not had a single plane crash due to the quality of the aircraft so far. Even FCA2819 has not yet officially debuted, and more than 30 orders have appeared in Liu's factory.
