Chapter 367: G550
Zhang Taibei didn't have time to continue urging Yan Qingyu to give birth to a Taiwanese baby quickly, and he was attracted by the new toy.
The private jet ordered by Yan Qingyu has arrived in Hong Kong.
Gulfstream G550 (cough cough, a little earlier, I like this model, you understand), the latest launch of the American Gulfstream Aerospace Company this year, it is the first ultra-long-range business aircraft in the history of human flight that can fly directly from New York to Tokyo and Hong Kong.
A total of 17 aircraft were produced this time, including 2 aircraft from the Argentine government, 2 aircraft from the German government, 2 aircraft from the Greek Air Force, 4 aircraft from the Singapore Air Force, 1 aircraft from the Tanzanian government, 1 aircraft from the Turkish government, 1 aircraft from the Ugandan government, 1 aircraft from the United States Government, 3 aircraft from the United States Navy, 1 aircraft from the United States Army, and the last one is Yan Qingyu's.
It is worth mentioning that in some special itineraries, the G550 owned by the US government has also been transformed into a special aircraft "Air Force One" that replaced the Boeing 747 as the special plane of the President of the United States.
The Gulfstream G550 offers the most complete hardware and software in every aspect.
Even the biggest enemy of traditional aircraft - high altitude, strong winds and other special weather can rarely have an impact on the G550, as a means of transportation G550 most faithfully performs its own job, at any time can safely and quickly send passengers to any place they want to go.
The G550 also allows the owner to personally participate in the layout of the cabin interior, decorating your home in the sky as if it were your own home, and even the location of the galley and bathroom can be freely chosen.
Although the interior of the cabin is only two meters high, less than three meters wide, and a little more than fifteen meters long, when the aircraft is only privately owned, nearly 50 square meters of space is enough to enjoy.
"Uncle Long, how about this model?"
Yan Qingyu smiled and said to a middle-aged man over forty.
The man's name was Yuen Chak Lung, a veteran pilot at Kai Tak Airport. He has been flying for 15 years, and he has been flying at Kai Tak Airport, the most difficult airport in the world. There has never been any safety incident.
Yan Qingyu originally didn't like to take a plane, but Los Angeles and Hong Kong were too far away, and if she took a boat, it would take a month to go back and forth.
So he can only take a plane, for the person who is about to entrust his life to his family, Yan Qingyu still guarantees enough respect, of course, he also provides a salary that is far more than nearly ten times Yuan Zelong's past salary.
Yuan Zelong seems to be a very ordinary employee, according to Yan Qingyu's investigation, he has a stable personality. With good health and a happy family, Yan Qingyu even offered his son a good job.
In short, he was at his best for all objective factors.
Yan Qingyu chose him to form a crew and gave him respect and trust.
Yuan Zelong is a loyal person, the food of the king, and the matter of loyalty. Since he was selected for the interview test, he has put a lot of effort into this job.
As an airplane captain. He knew the bare minimum of working principles, which was to figure out his plane.
"Yansheng, this is a powerful aircraft suitable for international sailing. Powered by an enhanced Rolls-Roycebr710 turbofan engine, the G550 can fly 6,750 nautical miles at Mach 0.80. Its high-speed cruise speed can reach Mach 0.87. With its long-range flight capability, the G550 is able to easily fly non-stop from Washington, D.C. to Dubai, from London to Singapore, or from Tokyo to Paris, of course. It is also possible to fly directly from Hong Kong to Los Angeles. ”
After the group got on the plane, they pointed to the cockpit, and Yuan Zelong said calmly: "The G550 is equipped with the Gulfstream PlaneView cockpit. This is currently the most advanced cockpit in commercial aviation. The PlaneView cockpit is based on Honeywell's Primusepic structure and display system, which provides accurate flight information on a 14-inch (36 cm) LCD display for pilots to keep in perspective.
The cockpit combines Gulfstream's state-of-the-art avionics efforts: the first fully synchronized triple flight management system (FMS); Gulfstream Cursor Control Device (CCD) to improve the way pilots interact with PlaneView avionics; It also incorporates Gulfstream's next-generation head-up display technology, Enhanced Vision System (EVS)II, which captures images of the environment at night or in inclement weather, providing pilots with clear pictures of runway markings, taxiways and surrounding terrain.
Gulfstream is the first commercial jet manufacturer to have the option to install a synthetic vision system on the G550. The optional Vision – Main Flight Display (SV-PFD) adds enhanced awareness of the flight environment and enables correct judgment even when visibility is zero. ”
"Zero visibility can make a correct judgment?"
Zhang Taibei, who was beside Yan Qingyu, was a little suspicious.
Eighty percent of aviation accidents occur due to weather conditions, resulting in extremely low visibility. In the process of landing the aircraft, there was a miscalculation.
If visibility is not taken into account, the safety of the aircraft will be greatly improved.
Yuan Zelong saw Zhang Taibei questioning, Yan Qingyu also looked a little unconvinced, and said in a very firm tone: "Yan Sheng, and this gentleman." This model of aircraft is of world-class quality and is equipped with a state-of-the-art cockpit. I don't say this because of the conclusions I have reached based on my subjective delusions.
Although the G550 is the latest model to be developed this year, I have never driven it. However, the team that developed the G550 was awarded the title of "Robert. Collier Prize", which is currently the highest honor in the field of aviation, is known as the Nobel Prize in the aviation industry.
Since the establishment of the award in 1911, almost all of the winning aircraft have been fighter jets. Even the President of the United States' Air Force One has never won this award. For this reason, I do not hesitate to believe in the presentation of the information. ”
Yan Qingyu patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Uncle Long, then I will be even happier." The safer my $50 million plane is, the more reassuring I am. By the way, there is no problem with after-sales maintenance, right? ”
Yuan Zelong is also very happy to be able to fly this kind of aircraft, most of the planes in Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways he used to serve are old models from one or two decades ago, and for pilots, a good aircraft is like a supercar for drivers.
Yuan Zelong said: "There is no problem at all. Yan Sheng, you have topped three planes at a time, it is said that the Li Chaoren family also ordered one, and the people of Gulfstream have set up an FBO in Kai Tak to serve our aircraft. Maintenance is not a problem. ”
"Okay, Uncle Long, since there is no problem in all aspects, then you can go and get busy. We plan to depart the day after tomorrow and you can also make your first voyage. ”
Yan Qingyu smiled gently, unwilling to put too much pressure on this middle-aged man.
As a veteran pilot, Yuan Zelong obviously has a qualified psychological endurance. He didn't look flattered, nodded and left.
Wait until he's gone. Yan Qingyu said to Shi Nansheng behind him: "Sister Nansheng, you go and pick up Sister Zhi and them." It is estimated that they are also in a hurry, and they began to get excited yesterday. ”
Shi Nansheng smiled when he heard this, looked at the luxurious cabin again, and left.
After Zhang Taibei walked into the cabin, he sat on a wide sofa casually, sighed comfortably, and looked at the surrounding layout, several wide leather sofas. A few clean small tables, thick carpets, refrigerators, wine coolers. TV......
Zhang Taibei sighed with emotion: "Si'er, it's strange for you to say. If these things were placed on the ground, even in a mansion, we didn't think it was unusual. But you get these on the plane. Why do I suddenly think they are so extravagant? ”
Yan Qingyu smiled proudly: "This is nothing, do you see the bathroom over there, there is a bath in it!" There's also a bedroom over there. The bed inside is not too small! I designed it myself, otherwise the plane would have been brought back long ago! ”
Zhang Taibei turned over and jumped up, ran to the end of the plane, opened the door, and saw a rose-red bath, nearly two meters long, enough for people to lie comfortably in it, while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the clouds outside the ship, while refreshing the bath.
Then he ran to the other end and opened a door to a large silver-white bed......
Zhang Taibei fell on the thick carpet under his feet in some despair, groaning. Yin said: "Si'er, why do you let the third brother take those airlines' planes in the future?" ”
Yan Qingyu smiled and said, "Aren't you all in first class?" ”
Zhang Taibei said: "Do you know what the biggest difference between first class and economy class is? ”
Yan Qingyu thought about it for a moment and said, "The first-class cabin is a little looser, can you stretch your legs?" Comfortable to sit on? ”
Zhang Taibei sneered: "Wrong, the biggest difference between first class and economy class is. In first class, you can insult a flight attendant three times without being complained, and in economy class, you have to get out of the way once! ”
Yan Qingyu laughed when she heard this: "I really don't know this, you are not as experienced as the third brother." ”
Zhang Taibei's expression was a little exaggerated: "You are embarrassed to laugh at me in this regard?" It's really a loss to think about it in my life! The family is like a little daughter-in-law, and the father said that the female wine hurts the body, especially for people who practice martial arts, the wine is intestinal poison, and the color is a bone scraper. I don't care about the wine, but the woman doesn't either. After practicing for decades, he didn't get any fame, and as a result, he even practiced himself to become the last one. Fourth, tell me, does the third brother lose money? ”
Yan Qingyu rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, and said, "Third brother, who would have thought of such a thing?" Don't think about it so much, when this happens, my uncle will be very sad in his heart. And, at least you're going to live longer than others, aren't you? Don't worry, my son is no different from yours. Besides, even if you don't have a son, I'm so much younger than you, can I still let you live alone in your old age? ”
Zhang Taibei was lying on the carpet, a little water stain flowed from the corner of his eyes, shook his head and smiled: "Si'er, you don't understand, people who haven't experienced this will only laugh at me for being sick. Yin, as ridiculous as Emperor Jin Hui who didn't eat minced meat. I'm sad not that I don't have a son, but that the meaning of life. ”
The corners of Yan Qingyu's mouth twitched, and he poured a whole glass of red wine from Condi Winery stored in the wine cabinet, drank it all under Zhang Taibei's strange gaze, and then said disdainfully: "!" (To be continued......)
