The production of the machine is not as simple as 1+1=2, this kind of high-tech is indeed very interesting. Although there are a lot of 12 aircraft production lines, but now that they have been done, there is no reason to extrapolate outward, and now they can't use so much, but it doesn't mean that they won't be used so much in the future, and now they can't be used to maintain the production line well and then seal it up for future backup, and when necessary, they can immediately start these sealed production lines, just like the old Maozi and Shen Fei and Xifei They did, but if you want to get such a production line at this price in the future, That's almost impossible.

Moreover, the most important thing is not the question of money, but the installation, commissioning, and skilled skilled workers required for the aircraft production line, these are the most important factors, without these mechanics and engineers, the production line alone is actually just a bunch of expensive but useless metal.

In the early years before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the aviation technology talents that Singh got from the Soviet Union and its union republics were already in place, and the corresponding preliminary research work had already begun. This guy had already started relevant research work when he was abducted by Singh to Africa, and now in China, when all aspects of research equipment are in place, this guy's research work has become even more powerful, and the progress of various research is carried out rapidly. (*)

That's good, hearing Alice say that these guys have now entered the normal work track, Zhang Lan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: I just hope that next year, all the construction work, including the construction of supporting projects, can be completed, in this way, if the time is tight, maybe the first batch of aircraft of his company can be produced by the end of next year, and he must leave the first plane as a souvenir at that time. (*)

It's just that the construction area of more than 10,000 acres, the average person only knows that the area of 10,000 acres of land is very large, but probably there is no too intuitive impression of 10,000 acres of land, but if you simply convert this 10,000 acres of land into corresponding square kilometers, it will probably be more intuitive: 10,000 acres of land, about 6.67 square kilometers, that is, a standard rectangle of 3,335 meters long and 2,000 meters wide -- of course, it is actually impossible to be such a standard rectangle. But the area is no less - think about it, how big is such a piece of land! At the beginning, it took a lot of effort to find such a large piece of land with a complete and stable geological structure in Qingdao.

It's just that the distance from the small county town to Qingdao own aircraft manufacturing group Co., Ltd. is how many kilometers, every time you go where you go back and forth, it takes almost a day, the aircraft manufacturing project is under construction, there are many things, and you can't do without people all day long, sometimes Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi have to run back and forth all day long. Even if you buy a house to live in Qingdao, there are still a lot of things to do here, which is very inconvenient. This situation made Zhang Lan feel very unhappy.

What's more, compared to Qingdao, this is the headquarters of Alice Group, staying in Qingdao all day, do you have to deal with a lot of things every day on the headquarters of the group? As for moving the group's headquarters to Qingdao? I'm sorry, but Zhang Lan never had this idea from beginning to end.

So is there a way to get yourself and your dad to Qingdao quickly, and then rush back quickly? Zhang Lan pondered for a long time, and it seemed that only the use of air traffic could be regarded as the fastest mode of transportation at present -- air traffic was not restricted by ground roads, and there was no need to detour, as long as it was in a straight line in the air, and the distance from the county seat to the construction site of Qingdao's own group's aircraft manufacturing project could be shortened to less than 300 kilometers.

It's just a pity that the county has not had its own aviation airport so far, and the nearest aviation airport is also in the city, and the time from the county seat to the city airport, even if you drive there, it will take about an hour and forty minutes, which is still not cost-effective, but you can't afford to delay the time on the road, for the current Alice Group, although it is an exaggeration to say that time is life, but time is money is no problem at all. (*)

And even if there is an airport, it is impossible to go directly to the company's construction site. Calculated in this way, it seems that only the helicopter, which does not need to run to it, and can take off and land as long as there is a flat place, can bear this requirement of its own? Zhang Lan began to wonder: should he build two helicopters to use them as a means of rapid transportation from the county seat to the construction site of his own group's aircraft manufacturing group Co., Ltd. in Qingdao? If there is a helicopter, from the self

It only takes a little more time from the headquarters to the construction site of the aircraft manufacturing project of Qingdao Alice Group, and if it is a faster plane, it will not even take an hour, even if it is a round trip, it will not take two hours, which is cost-effective!

But where do you get planes from? Zhang Lan was a little depressed: The quality of Lao Maozi's plane is indeed good, but when it comes to comfort, cough cough, this has never been Lao Maozi's strong point, Zhang Lan still respects and is not sensitive. I heard that the four Tu-154M passenger planes that Mou Zhongmu Dashen, who claimed to want to blow up a hole in the Himalayas, exchanged them from Lao Maozi, were chattering in the entire cabin when they took off, and the gap in the door of the luggage compartment cover overhead was large enough to insert a fist. The movement is so loud that it makes people wonder if this plane is the last flight, although this is a bit exaggerated, but Zhang Lan has taken Lao Maozi's plane a few times, it seems that the comfort is indeed not very good.

The U.S. has the right planes, and the civilian Black Hawk would be nice to use as a private business jet, but the damn U.S. government won't allow such an aircraft to enter China. Although China now has some civilian "Black Hawks" imported from the United States in the 80s, there are no doors to buy a "Black Hawk" from the Americans. (*)

Domestically produced Z-9 helicopters? This plane, Zhang Lan is not very satisfied, without him, it is too small, so-so, it is just able to sit people, as for comfort and quiet, these things can't be talked about, and he doesn't want to hear what the person next to him is saying without the help of headphones and headsets. Zhang Lan felt that taking this kind of plane once could make her ears uncomfortable for a long time. This kind of small and medium-sized helicopter is not what Zhang Lan wants. ,

Since it is for their own use, then the size of the space and comfort naturally need to be considered, after removing the old Maozi's plane, the American plane and the domestic straight nine odd and even, Zhang Lan's target this time is by the United Kingdom and Italy in the eighties just began to develop, at the end of 94 years just obtained the British and Italian civil aviation airworthiness certificate, and just obtained the FAA airworthiness certificate of the European new generation of ultra-large helicopter: EH-1C11 helicopter!

If you don't have much impression of this helicopter, then you may be familiar with the helicopter for the US president, and according to Zhang Lan's understanding of the future, this helicopter is actually the prototype of the new "Navy One" of the VH-71 helicopter for the future US president, and the development of the VHH-711 presidential helicopter is based on the US-1C11 helicopter, and the US-1 helicopter is the EH jointly developed by the British and Italian companies Agusta-Westland. American modification of the 1C11 helicopter.

This heavy-duty helicopter with three high-power turboshaft engines can maintain 80 percent power even if one engine fails, and even if two engines are stopped, the aircraft can return to base with the last engine. Since it can be selected by the United States as a presidential helicopter in the future, then only from this point of view, its safety is no longer questionable.

The interior space of the future VH-711 helicopter is 6.40 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 1.83 meters high, and it can comfortably ride 1 passenger. The interior space of the EH-1C11, the prototype of the VH-711 helicopter, is also not lower than this figure. Moreover, the civilian EH-1 helicopter with good sound insulation treatment has a quiet cabin that allows you to easily hold a small high-level meeting on the plane. There's even a dedicated lavatory and galley, making it an ideal choice for a business helicopter.

In short, in addition to the size of this helicopter, the number of engines is more, and the fuel consumption is larger, the others are quite satisfactory to Zhang Lan, and Zhang Lan doesn't care about the problem of large fuel consumption: even if this guy can burn oil again, we can't afford to burn it, right?

It's just very frustrating for Zhang Lan, this aircraft is also within the scope of the European arms embargo on China, Zhang Lan asked Alice to help contact the results also confirmed this, the Eurocopter company responsible for the production of this EH-1 helicopter and the Italian Agusta company replied to Alice: If the Alice Group uses the company's EH.011 helicopter in the United States and Europe and other regions, the company will feel very honored, and will be very happy to provide a series of services for the Alice Group. However, if it is used in China, it is limited to policy reasons, and we can only regret it. We would like to ask for Alice's understanding and, if possible, we strongly recommend that the U.S. company of the Alice Group purchase this aircraft for use as a business jet for the Group's senior management.
