"Mr. Lin, I promise you, I will definitely report to my boss immediately......" In front of this business totaling nearly $80 million, Acton almost knelt down for Lin Hongfei.

Lin Hongfei was not surprised by Acton's reaction at all, this is his own capitalism, as long as there is enough profit, let alone let him kneel down and call you dad, then let him kneel down and eat, he just said lightly and condescendingly, "Remember, you only have three days." ”

In fact, this level of modification of the Il-62 was a decision he made on his way from Moscow to the United States, and before making this decision, he also hesitated, is it necessary to do so? $80 million, that's really not a small amount, although maintaining the Il-62 is really cumbersome.

Yes, Lin Hongfei knows very well how troublesome it is to maintain an Il-62: a total of 3 detachments of dozens of people are needed, and the first detachment is a mechanical detachment, which is responsible for the three key parts of the fuselage, engine, and landing gear, so the release of the aircraft is also in their hands, and they have the final say on whether the state of the aircraft meets the requirements for take-off; The second detachment is the electrical instrument detachment, which is responsible for the cockpit and cabin electrical appliances, instruments including air conditioning, etc.; The third detachment is the radio detachment, which is responsible for the three major categories of communications, navigation, radar, and most importantly, the "black box" and cabin audio equipment.

The normal working procedures of the three teams are: arrive at the plane one hour and 40 minutes before the flight takes off, conduct a pre-flight inspection of the aircraft, including visual inspection and observe the indication of the indicator light according to the inspection button on the equipment, and then wait for 15 minutes after take-off to evacuate. The stop check is also similar to the post-flight, except that the plane does not need to be turned off. Repeats before and after the flight are done only once.

This is just a routine inspection, and the maintenance and maintenance of the aircraft is a troublesome mess.

Of course, if Lin Hongfei just wants to get himself a private jet, this is not a problem at all, raising three maintenance squadrons, plus the maintenance cost of the aircraft, how much is the annual expenditure? That's not what he values.

What he values is what his company can learn from the process of a modification that is almost equivalent to a redesign of an aircraft.

Taking the engine as an example, if CFM International really accepts this order, it must understand the impact of its own engine on the aerodynamic effect of the whole aircraft after it is installed: although the weight of the CFM56-5A series engine is about the same as that of D-30. However, the weight of the CFM56-5A series turbofan engine is 2270 kg, and the weight of the D-30 engine plus the thrust reversing system is 2668 kg, but the D-30 engine is relatively slender and the maximum diameter is only 1560mm, but the CFM56-5A is a typical third-generation turbofan engine. It looks short and thick, with a maximum diameter of 2423mm. The CFM56-5B series has a maximum diameter of 2600mm. That's just the fan diameter, there's an outer duct outside the fan, and there's an engine cover on the outside of the whole engine.

The larger diameter brings a greater bypass ratio, but it also increases the size of the engine casing fairing, and the two slender engines mounted on both sides of the rear fuselage have little effect on the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft, but the two engines with a shell diameter of more than three meters are a bit frightening when placed in the back. Isn't the effect a little too "outstanding"?

CFM had to figure out what effect the four engines hung on the rear of the fuselage would have on the flight performance of the aircraft in different flight attitudes.

After the "major surgery" changes to the aircraft. Aircraft weight reduction is inevitable, the original 5-person crew changed to a 2-person crew, considering the gap between the Soviet aircraft and the European and American aircraft in the avionics system, while removing some unnecessary equipment, the weight reduction of 5000 kg should not be exaggerated, plus the business jet itself is super light load, two single thrust 150KN CFM56-5B3 seems to be able to fully meet the flight requirements of the aircraft.

If such a large engine rear has a great impact on the flight performance of the aircraft, it must be considered that these four engines should be moved under the wing of the aircraft, but if moved under the wing of the aircraft, is it to use two CFM56-5B3 with a thrust of 150KN, or to use four CFM56-5A1 with a thrust of 111KN?

But no matter what kind of engine arrangement, if the scheme of hanging under the wing of the engine is adopted, the original wing structure must be strengthened, and maybe the entire wing will have to be modified......

This level of modification is called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, which is only the engine, specific to avionics, aviation instruments, aircraft lines, pipeline layout and other aspects of the occasional problems that need to be solved, written out is estimated to be stacked higher than people...... At that time, it is estimated that only the fuselage, landing gear, and fuel tank of this Il-62 can be used, and some unimportant things remain, except for these things, almost all of them have been replaced!

This level of modification, not to mention 20 million US dollars, even 30 million US dollars can not be taken, with the expensive human resources of the engineers in the United States who are engaged in these things, Lin Hongfei estimates that the most conservative figure will be almost 35 million US dollars to be able to get it.

$35 million, what does that mean? This price means that with a little extra money, you can buy a brand new Airbus A320 straight away! In the international market, the price of an Airbus A320 is only about 40 million US dollars!

With so much money, you can buy a new Airbus A320, but now you have to spend the same amount of money to renovate an aircraft that happens to be discontinued this year?

Lose your marbles! If it is rumored, in addition to the uproar of public opinion, in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no other way to explain why Lin Hongfei is doing this except being crazy.

But Lin Hongfei did this, and naturally there was a reason why he did it.

Because......

You have to do it yourself!

That's the only way to do it!

What is the most workout for people? Of course, practice is the most tempering person, but the greatest sorrow of the republic's aviation industry is that they do not have a teacher to take them through practice, and no one wants to be a teacher for the republic's aviation industry. No one wants to see the rise of the aviation industry of the republic except ourselves.

But now, Lin Hongfei has used money to smash out a practical opportunity: this level of modification, if you want to complete a successful modification, you must understand every point of this Il-62, which forces his team to thoroughly understand all the relevant knowledge of Il-62:

When the Il-62 was refitted, it was equivalent to mastering the design and manufacturing capabilities of this 150-ton aircraft in disguise, and the design and manufacturing capabilities of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. were born out of the aircraft. In the future, a series of aircraft can be developed by widening the fuselage, enlarging the fuselage, adjusting the shape of the wings, etc......

Lin Hongfei does not require or expect that none of the screws on the aircraft he built are produced in his own country, but at least the key components can be produced by himself, and the fuselage, wings and engines must be grasped in his own hands.

Lin Hongfei thinks it's worth the money.

Although it was just for fun. I didn't want to play so big, but since reality has pushed me step by step to the present. Lin Hongfei will not back down...... It's nothing more than more complex mechanics and electronics. Lao Tzu is afraid of him with a hammer!

The only question now is whether this business jet conversion company has the power to handle this?

If this modification company can't handle CFM International, then all these ideas are just their own fantasy.

Acton didn't know that Lin Hongfei was almost gambling with a mentality, and took out 80 million to gamble on a learning opportunity, he nodded busily, and almost rushed to the telephone on the table...... This thing. He needs to report to his boss right away.

……………………

"These Tu-134 ......" finished the call, and the designer Mr. Acton pointed to the remaining three Tu-134, swallowing hard, in his opinion. It's not an airplane, it's a pile of green bills.

"I'm very satisfied," Lin Hongfei thought that when he said that these TU-134s should be dealt with in this way, he nodded happily, anyway, these planes are useless to keep by themselves, if they can be sold to make money, it will naturally be better, "One of them is left to me, and the remaining two, if you can help me find a market, then dispose of it, if customers like this kind of aircraft, I will send some more to you for modification...... I can see from the reaction of this Mr. Adelaide that this kind of large luxury business machine modified with the Tu-134 will have a considerable market demand in the American business jet market, and it is just an opportunity for us to make money, right? ”

Thanks to the regulations of the U.S. government, although they stipulate that aircraft that have not obtained the FAA airworthiness certificate are not allowed to engage in commercial operations in the United States, they allow private individuals to have the right to collect aircraft, if the condition of the aircraft meets the requirements of the flight, flying in the sky is not a big deal, in short, as long as you are not engaged in commercial operations, as long as you report in advance, how to fly is your business, as for you "lend" the plane to your friend, as long as you do not receive money from your friend on your account, Then even if the U.S. government knows what's going on, there's nothing the U.S. government can do about it.

PS: Thank you, thank you brothers for your strong support, words can't describe my excitement, but as long as you see what I said, you will know how excited you are in your heart for a thousand years Yesterday, we went from more than 110 to 101 on the monthly ticket list, and even once reached 100, with a total of more than 80 monthly tickets in a single day!

For this achievement and everyone's support, I have been content for a thousand years, and the gratitude in my heart is definitely not something that can be described by a simple "gratitude".

However, we still have to work hard, the goal of this month of the millennium is to enter the top 100 of the monthly ticket list again, this goal is ridiculous to say, when countless gods have said that they have entered the top 10 of the overall list or the top 10 of the classification list, the millennium only dares to shout to enter the top 100 of the monthly pass...... Are you ashamed?!

I don't feel ashamed to enter the top 100 of the overall list, it doesn't mean that it is one of the 100 books with the best starting point, but it also represents an honor, I know that from now on, every step forward is extremely difficult, but I believe that my brothers are supporting me, right? From now on, please brothers. (To be continued......)
