Hearing Goodris's introduction that AS365 can take off and land at will on top of urban buildings, Qin Shiou was a little tempted.

The United States now has more than 16,000 private airports, Canada also has more than 2,000, except for the international airports in major cities, almost every city in the largest hotels have a roof apron, so that it is much more convenient to come and go, the plane lands on the tarmac, goes downstairs to transfer, directly into the city.

This kind of transportation is necessary for Canada, after all, the country is so big that just relying on driving can delay a lot of things.

Every excellent salesman is a good psychologist, Guderies noticed the change in Qin Shiou's expression, and said with persistent efforts: "In addition, the AS365 is considered to be the best business helicopter because it uses the most advanced enclosed technology, uses a hingeless rotor system and improved blades, and creates a low-noise and low-vibration environment. And on top of that, it also drains the sound of the engines and wings, and the external effective perceived noise level is about 3.1 decibels below the ICAO noise limit, making it the quietest lady in a multi-engine helicopter. ”

There are many classifications of helicopters, according to the number of engines, they are single-engine helicopters and multi-engine helicopters, the former refers to a helicopter with only one engine, and the latter refers to a helicopter with multiple engines.

The single-engine helicopter becomes a multi-engine helicopter, which is not as simple as adding an engine, it represents the aircraft requires stronger shell strength, better control system, and represents the comprehensive strengthening of helicopter technology, and the price gap is several times or even ten times.

The fewer the engines, the slower the wing rotation and the slower the speed. This is not only a disadvantage, at least the helicopter will be less noisy. People in multi-engine helicopters need to wear headsets. Gudris says that the AS365 is not used, and its noise is isolated to a place where the human ear can tolerate it. Feel free to chat in the cabin.

Qin Shiou just thinks that the number of seats in this helicopter is a bit small, 2+6, two pilot positions and six passenger positions, looking at the interior decoration, it is luxurious enough, leather seats, balance ball bar, small screen TV, etc., the same as a small business hotel room.

He was a little hesitant and didn't know if he should choose this aircraft, to be honest, just from the looks of the AS365 against other helicopters. I can really say: I'm not targeting anyone, I mean to say that everyone here is spicy chicken......

Goodis continued to introduce him to more detailed aircraft parameters, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of wings, engines, consoles, operating sticks, avionics and electrical systems, Qin Shiou has AC130 experience, and Goodis explained concisely and clearly, so he understands everything.

After listening to the explanation, Qin Shiou basically determined the purchase of this helicopter, and the price and use were very suitable. Six seats are a bit less and the interior space isn't too big, but it's enough for a family vacation or something.

Instead of letting him choose directly, Guderies introduced him to the last helicopter he recommended. EC-155-BC。

"The EC-155-BC is an improved version of the EC-155-B family launched in Canada, and this hunk has also made its way to your home country, China, where it is called the EC-155-B1. This is a series of improvements made by Eurocopter Group according to different national conditions, and each helicopter is a classic. ”

Qin Shiou opened the picture and looked at it. The plane was big enough, with an empty weight of two and a half tons and a take-off weight of five tons. It is the top 5-ton twin-engine helicopter in Europe.

Gudris continued: "This aircraft is also a member of the Dolphin family, and a large dolphin, an enhancement within the Dolphin family, not only with 40% more cabin space, but also with today's most advanced technology and higher power engines. ”

"In this way, it is clear that the EC-155-BC will have more more residual power, it has the fastest cruising speed in its class - 300 kilometers per hour and the longest range of 800 kilometers, if this is not enough, the two engines will be used in cycles, although the speed will be reduced, but the range can be increased by 20%, to 1000 kilometers!"

Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Indeed, it has a lot of space and a strong business atmosphere. ”

The IPAD has a lot of introductions to the interior of this aircraft, and a helicopter is divided into an office area, an entertainment area, a lounge and a luggage compartment, which shows how spacious its interior is.

If the AS365's décor is luxurious, the EC-155's décor is extravagant, with a padded leather padding wrapped in the interior of the cabin to prevent shocks and noise. The lounge is home to eight large sofa-like seats, each of which can be rotated freely, automatically raised and lowered and curved, and two chairs can be spliced together to form a bed if men and women want to do something on the plane.

In addition, the helicopter office area has the most advanced audio-visual projection system, communication system, air conditioning system and office equipment in the civilian market, among which the satellite communication system can be connected to telephone, fax and Internet around the world at any time, making it a veritable "office in the sky".

Not only the passengers are cool, but the pilots are all cool, Qin Shiou learned to fly a helicopter with Bird, but he has never taken the aviation driver's license, and he usually occasionally drives a helicopter.

Flying the AC130 is to fly the aircraft, and flying the EC-155 is enjoyable, it has a digital full LCD cockpit, single-pilot instrument flight performance and 4-axis autopilot, so that the pilot's workload is greatly reduced.

Looking at the features in the cockpit, the aircraft also uses advanced technologies including terrain warning screens, enhanced ground proximity warning systems, and multi-frequency high-intensity signal satellite phones, so that the pilot can drink coffee after flying.

The only regret is that this helicopter is too big, it is not very convenient to shuttle in the city, and it is not as small as the AS-365, but its design concept is very in line with Qin Shiou's life concept, that is, enjoyment.

Enjoying life is not about keeping money in a piggy bank and then smashing it to buy enough at the time of the Chinese New Year, but about enjoying every minute of it.

In this way, Qin Shiou rubbed his chin and said, "AS365 is very good, and EC-155-BC is also very good, so Bird, you say, which one should we choose?" ”

Bird was the pilot of his special plane, and his opinion must be taken into account when buying a plane, so he took it with him. But he's a good subordinate, and the boss won't say anything if he doesn't ask.

Now that Qin Shiou asked, he said his suggestion: "Buy both." (To be continued.) )
