Although there was some strangeness in the conference room about the behavior of the Civil Aviation Administration and the subsequent reaction of the prime minister, it was wise not to comment on it, and it was obvious that there were some other hidden secrets in it.

And for this kind of behavior of letting the Demon Capital Factory come to the imperial capital to participate in the meeting, only Yang Hui said that he was looking forward to it, and he was about to start implementing the plan, if the Demon Capital Factory was not present, wouldn't it have to be a lot less fun? This is a historic moment.

"That's good, let the magic capital factory come over and say together, there is actually no knot between us that can't be untied, if everyone can talk about it this time, maybe everyone will be happy. In fact, we don't need to compete at most, and we didn't communicate well at the beginning of the project, but this time we communicated and solved the problem. ”

Yang Hui smiled and said that he was generous, and when he said this now, it was all meaningful

Although I don't understand why Yang Hui's tone suddenly changed, Tang Changhong still chose not to talk much, and the sentence "use your brain to solve problems" that she said in the reception before is still very clear until now, maybe this is what kind of tactic.

"The question of large jet airliners will be put aside, then we will now set the second-class small regional airliner, and finally whether we use the improved version of the Y-7 100 or the improved version of the Y-12, now we will listen to the specific requirements for regional airliners, and the final decision will take more into account the opinions of United Airlines."

As a low-cost airline with an air force background, United Airlines is absolutely experienced in air transportation in Tibetan areas, after all, before this, the military occupied more dominant air transportation in Tibetan areas, and the civil aviation company really did not fly in Tibetan areas a few times.

And to consider the opinion of United Airlines, then you must first listen to what United Airlines has to say.

"Regarding the demand for regional airliners in Tibetan areas, one point we must consider is: the aircraft must be transported both passengers and cargo, because the road traffic in Tibetan areas is not very good, so our regional airliners must also take into account a certain cargo capacity, as for the passenger requirements, according to our years of experience and estimates for the future, the passenger capacity is almost the same in 20 to 35 seats, and the range should be able to exceed 1200."

Listening to such a request, whether it is the chief division of Yun Qi or the chief division of Yun 12, they are at a loss for this.

The Yunqi series of aircraft is really good, you have to say that there must be advantages in transporting goods, after all, it was a transport aircraft before that, and it is absolutely necessary to take into account the need to transport goods, but the number of passengers carrying these twenty to thirty-five people is obviously a little embarrassing, and the passenger capacity of Yunqi is usually at the level of fifty to seventy, which is obviously a surplus capacity!

If Yun 7 has to consider the surplus of capacity, then Yun 12 needs to consider how to stuff more than 20 people into that small fuselage while being able to transport goods, such a requirement is really too embarrassing, in essence, the positioning of this Yun 12 should be regarded as a lower level than the regional airliner of the general aviation small aircraft, size, aerodynamic layout are strict zhòng to limit its development.

Therefore, after hearing such a request, the chief engineer of Yun 12 couldn't come up with a feasible improvement plan after a long time, and in the end he could only sigh gloomily.

"Hey! Such a requirement is definitely not met by our Y-12, our size limits it can not develop into a regional airliner this level, this mission is to see how the Y-7 improves! ”

It was completely unexpected, and Bingcheng directly gave up this project, which made the chief designer of Yun 7 feel Alexander at the same time puzzled, Mo said Yun 12, this Yun 7 is also difficult to meet the requirements.

Frowning, he told the difficulties of Yun 7: "Yun Qi is an aircraft with a passenger capacity of 50 to 70 people, used to fly a route of 20 to 35 people, and there will be a great waste of capacity. ”

The Y-7 and Y-12 are difficult to meet the demand, which makes United Airlines feel a little tricky, and they did fly the Y-7 plane before this, and they know what level the volume of this aircraft is.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly remembered something: "Yunqi is indeed carrying too many passengers, but we can design it as a mixed passenger and cargo aircraft!" It is the kind of real mixed passenger and cargo loading, with people in the front cabin and cargo in the rear, and I believe that such an aircraft can make a big difference in Tibetan areas. The size of the Y-7 is very large, and it will be very advantageous when transporting large items, which is incomparable to other regional small passenger aircraft. ”

In some cases, one size fits all, for example, many manufacturers can meet a wide range of target groups by producing and selling a single product in large quantities, but after all, it is difficult to reconcile the crowd and there will always be certain needs that cannot be met.

The same is true in the civil aviation sector, where airlines use aircraft for different or even very different purposes, but driven by the fundamental nature of economics, aircraft manufacturers tend to offer homogeneous products that meet the needs of most customers.

But the problem is that the current Yunqi regional airliner has a bad market reputation, and it is better to have such an improved aircraft for transportation in Tibetan areas, which is already a good large order, and it is estimated that the procurement demand in Tibetan areas should not be less than ten, which is better than nothing.

Of course, the need to transport seven passengers and cargo mixed aircraft is certainly not only in Tibetan areas, but also in other remote areas, as the director of the market research and statistics department of United Airlines said.

"I think this plan works, the first half of the plane transports people, the second half transports goods, which at least provides an acceptable solution for the masses in remote areas, such as the island civil aviation market in the eastern coastal area, where there is also no railway, and the sea is too slow, whether it is the travel of people or the transportation of goods, the transport of seven passengers and goods can indeed solve many problems."

Yang Hui can clearly see this, and United Airlines also knows it clearly.

After the market research department spoke, another one continued, "That's right, we are also using Yunqi to fly to the islands in the eastern coastal area, but it is difficult to fill the seats every time, even if half of the people are very good." So we can only fly once a week, but in this way, the biggest advantage of air transport: timeliness is no longer there, and it is not even as good as a small ferry by sea. Now the transport of seven passengers and cargo is a good solution, at least it can effectively use part of the remaining capacity, whether it is Tibetan areas, islands need to purchase a large number of necessities of life, also need to transport local specialty materials out for sale, which requires the plane to have a certain cargo capacity. ”

There is a real need for the necessities of life when transporting from big cities to remote areas, and the special products from remote areas are also valuable if they can be transported.

The reason why remote areas are remote and economical is not good, there are no other cities along the road, land transportation and railways are difficult to recover investment, so that the cost of road construction becomes too high, and point-to-point air transport does not exist at all These problems, as long as the traffic is passed, the possibility of getting rich is very large, so that it will continue to drive the civil aviation industry to develop benignly.

Having understood these issues, the Prime Minister also keenly felt that the project was feasible.

"I think it's good, and I also know that the turbo slurry aircraft like Yunqi does not have high requirements for the airport of take-off and landing, so that the cost of building an airport in remote areas is also acceptable, and the cost of a single flight is also low, even if it is only to transport goods, it can ensure that it will not be too much loss, if such an aircraft is technically feasible, it will be established! The government can support you. (To be continued.) )
