After having lunch in the fishing ground, Asik invited Qin Shiou to go with him to the space city company to check the plane.

Qin Shiou wanted to take Winnie with him, after all, the flight attendant was a senior flight attendant, and she should know a lot about airplanes.

He called, and Winnie said that she was taking the girls on a tour of Gramona National Park and would not go to see the planes, and that all she knew was fixed-wing planes. Qin Shiou wanted to buy a fixed-wing aircraft, but she had already selected the model, and this time she chose a helicopter, and she couldn't help.

In this way, Qin Shiou took Auerbach, Huzi and Leopard on the plane and flew directly to Montreal.

The advantage of having a private jet is this, it is very free, the owner says whatever he wants, you can't take pets on a civil aircraft, and it doesn't matter if you have a private jet.

Asik adjusted the curvature of the reclining chair for the tiger and leopard, so that they could lie on it comfortably, and then put a small snack and milk on it, which made Qin Shiou, the owner, embarrassed.

Montreal is a city located in the southwest of Quebec, the largest city in the province of Quebec, the second largest city in Canada and the fifteenth largest city in North America, not far from St. John's, only 700 kilometers.

Once the economic capital of Canada, the city has the largest population and the most developed economy. Although it has lost its position as an economic leader, it is still one of the most important economic centers in Canada, where the aviation industry, finance, design, film industry and other industries are particularly developed, and there are many large companies.

After arriving in Montreal, Asik arranged a five-star hotel for Qin Shiou, named on the bank of the Lachin River, and opened the window to see the beautiful and clean river. Pleasant view.

Asik asked Qin Shiou if he wanted to rest, and after receiving a negative answer, he drove two people and two dogs to the headquarters of the Space City.

Buying an airplane is not like buying a car, you can watch it from one by one, the plane is too big and takes up too much space. And the unit price is too high, the space city has its own helipad, but there are only less than 20 fixed-wing aircraft and more than 40 helicopters.

In fact, most aircraft are produced after the customer places an order.

Qin Shiou came to the space city because they happened to have an existing aircraft of an air tractor AT-802C. In addition, there are a large number of helicopters, and Qin Shiou can visit the site.

After arriving at the tarmac, Asik led Qin Shiou straight to the AT-802C, which costs 644,000 yuan and can be modified. On the way, he introduced to Qin Shiou: "Your country's Beidahuang General Aviation Company has just purchased six of these aircraft, which are AT-802F, which are mainly responsible for forest firefighting, and the total price is 4.8 million US dollars." ”

Qin Shiou smacked his tongue and asked, "Even if it is converted into a firefighter, the price will increase so much?" ”

The average AT-802F is $800,000, which is close to $1 million, which is not inexpensive.

Asik smiled. "That's not the case, the AT-802F modified aircraft is only 680,000 yuan in Canada, but the tariffs on selling it to your country are relatively high." That's why the price is so high. ”

Listening to Asik say this, Qin Shiou understood that in order to protect its independent property rights, China has raised tariffs on luxury goods such as cars, planes, and yachts very high, which can be seen from the purchase of imported cars.

Entering the tarmac, Qin Shiou saw a series of mighty and divine planes. Asik told him: "Most of these planes have already been booked by customers, otherwise we wouldn't dare to let them be parked outside. The maintenance cost of the aircraft is too expensive, and it can basically be calculated at the price of 1% of the value of the aircraft per day. ”

The AT-802C is conspicuous. Qin Shiou saw it from afar, its appearance is a rare yellow in an airplane, and its size is about the same as that of the P-750: four meters in height, more than ten meters in length, and much wider in wingspan, close to twenty meters.

When he arrived at the AT-802C, Asik asked him to go up and take a look, and then introduced the correlation coefficients: it used a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67F turboprop engine, which has a full 1,350 horsepower, a fast enough cruising speed of 356 km/h, a full tank and a flight of 1,289 km, a climb of 7,620 meters, and so on.

In terms of standard configuration, the AT-802C features a traditional landing gear with two main wheels and a tail wheel. The aircraft is equipped with WIPAIRE-10000 amphibious pontoons, which allow it to land on non-professional runways or even on water.

This is important to Qin Shiou, because he does not have an airfield, and if the AT-802C can land on the sea, then it will be possible to build a hard runway on the beach at that time.

This is thanks to the original design intention of the AT-802, which was originally designed for forest firefighting, so in order to get water faster, the plane needs to be able to land directly on the river, and now this is cheaper Qin Shiou.

Feeling the majesty and domineering of the air tractor, Qin Shiou decided to buy this plane, but to convert it into an agricultural machine that can sprinkle pesticides and seeds, it will cost an additional 40,000 US dollars.

In addition, Asik was very 'considerate' to help Qin Shiou modify another thing, that is, the machine gun mount: "As long as you find a way to buy a civilian version of the M60 or M249, you can hang it and sweep the world." ”

"Can you add a rocket nest or a missile or something?"

"Yes, yes, but we can't get the formalities, and I don't think you can get rockets and missiles."

"Just kidding, haha, but it's better to install an infrared autonomous identification radar for me, you know, I have to patrol my fishing grounds every day, the ocean is too big to see with my eyes."

"No problem, with another 28,000 yuan, the SS-PD2 civilian autonomous identification radar produced by Boeing can work 24 hours a day."

Buying an agricultural aircraft is simple, because the model has been selected in advance, and the next step is to buy a cruising helicopter.

Although Qin Shiou said that the AT-802C should be installed with a radar for fishing ground cruise, in fact, he generally does not fly this plane, this guy has an empty weight of nearly three tons, which is simply a big killer that burns oil, and he needs a light, fast small plane.

After understanding Qin Shiou's needs and uses, Asik said: "Then you can buy a single-engine helicopter, you don't need multiple helicopters, and the price gap between the two sides is very large." ”

The single-engine helicopter is only one rotating wing, and there are naturally multiple multi-engine helicopters, and the price gap between the two sides is indeed very large, and many single-engine helicopters are under 1 million Canadian dollars, such as H2S, H-7, An-2Enara, etc.

Multi-engine helicopters, almost under five million Canadian dollars, or even tens of millions, are almost comparable to the price of multi-engine fixed-wing aircraft.

Asik brought him to a delicate single-engine helicopter and introduced: "The Safari helicopter, nicknamed Baby Belle, is our self-developed aircraft in Canada, with the same space as the Bell-47, the same speed, and the price is only 200,000 Canadian dollars." ”

"What about Bell-47?" Qin Shiou asked, this aircraft is a classic classic in helicopters, comparable to AK in a gun, it has been born for 70 years and has been selling well. (To be continued)
