Compared to Louis. The president, the Minister of Industry, Robert Carrera. Clem. Lopez still knows a little bit about airplanes, and he doesn't seem to know too much, and he only knows some basic common sense, but this is enough, and he said to himself with some doubts, "But why do I think this plane is a bit like a power delta wing?" But I've never seen such a large power delta wing. ”

Powered delta wing? Hear from Robert. Clem. This quote from Lopez, President Luiz. Carrera and the Minister of Commerce, Carlos. Gutierrez's eyes widened: Is there another kind of aircraft in the world called a power delta wing?

"That's right, this plane is improved on the basis of the power delta wing," Lin Hongfei did not deny this, after all, although this cargo looks like an airplane, the traces of the power delta wing on the body are too obvious, and the top is equipped with a huge delta wing arranged with skin, and a star-shaped air-cooled five-cylinder gasoline engine placed in the middle and rear is used...... These basic factors all reveal the kinship of this product with the power delta wing.

"Robert, is the power delta bad? Or is it not good security? "President Louis. Karila didn't know why the Minister of Industry of Lu Dao would ask such a question, thinking that there was a big problem with the power delta wing, so he couldn't help asking.

"No, the power delta wing is one of the safest aircraft in the world, and even if it loses power, it can slowly slide down from the sky like a glider, as long as the pilot himself does not make a mistake...... You all know the C-123 transport plane of the Americans, right? The U.S. military used this aircraft to throw a lot of defoliant on the battlefield in Vietnam, and this aircraft was actually modified from a metal unpowered glider designed during World War II with a power system and a power system. ”

At first, Lin Hongfei was really nervous, thinking that the minister of industry would say something bad, but now, Lin Hongfei is relieved, he is already thinking about it. When he goes back, do you want someone to send him a check?

Not many people know about the C-123 transport plane, but when it comes to the transport plane that sprayed defoliants during the Vietnam War, Louis Brown. Karella was thrilled: who didn't know the infamous defoliant-throwing plane?

"$250,000 isn't that expensive," said Robert. Clem. Lopez shook his head regretfully, "But it would be nice if there was a cheaper one." ”

Cheaper? Robert. Clem. As soon as Lopez's words came out, Louis. Karrela lowered his head in embarrassment, a little ashamed: how could there be a cheaper plane?

"There really is," Lin Hongfei couldn't help but move when he thought that the domestically made Little Bee 3C fixed-wing two-seater propeller aircraft, which had set a low price record in the world, was also modified on the basis of a powered delta wing. "We also have a two-person ultralight that costs as much as a sedan, with a take-off distance of less than 70 meters, 65 meters to be exact, and a wingspan of just over 8 meters. You can take off on any level of land, such as an airstrip, a school playground, a small stretch of road, or even a road in grass or farmland. If you are interested. We can also ......"

"Of course, of course, of course we are interested," has not yet waited for President Luis. Carrera speaks, and the Minister of Industry, Robert Brown. Clem. Lopez said to Lin Hongfei in a gaffe, "Mr. Lin, can you tell us about this aircraft?" ”

"Of course." This is not a problem for Lin Hongfei, although Lin Hongfei does not remember the performance data of the Bee 3C very clearly, but he roughly remembers that it seems to be similar to the performance of the power delta wing...... Even if it's a little bad, then it doesn't matter. The data conjured up based on the performance data of a certain power delta wing came out of Lin Hongfei's mouth.

But these data Robert. Clem. Lopez didn't know what to say, and when he heard Lin Hongfei's words, he danced excitedly: although the range without auxiliary fuel tanks was only 160 kilometers, the 550-kilometer range after adding auxiliary fuel tanks still scared many people...... For a country with an area of only 176,000 square kilometers, you can imagine it as a rectangular land with a length of 800 kilometers and a width of 220 kilometers.

I didn't dare to ask for it before, but if there is really an airplane with a price similar to that of a car, I believe many people will be interested...... I believe that two of Uruguay's neighbors: Brazil and Argentina will also be interested, this guy is simply too cheap and versatile, and how much fuel can a 40-horsepower engine consume? Uruguay is also a middle-income developed country, even if the fuel consumption level is slightly higher, the people are completely affordable, the only question is, is it a little smaller to only be able to ride two people? It would be even better if it could ride four people, just for a family.

"Yes, we have a model that can take four people," Lin Hongfei nodded without hesitation, for Lin Hongfei, it is too simple to convert an aircraft that can only take two people into an aircraft that can take four people, slightly increase the power, and it can be easily done with the increased wing area, although there is no such model in the company now, but it does not prevent Lin Hongfei from blowing out the cowhide now, "Not only that, we also have a series of models, including the simplest basic model with a semi-enclosed cockpit, The Standard model with a fully enclosed cockpit, the Deluxe model with an internal air conditioning system and windshield defrosting device, a simple sound system, and the Supreme model with a multi-functional audio entertainment system on the basis of the Deluxe model, customers can choose different models according to their needs...... Of course, the price is still about the same as a small car, the only difference is the difference between a cheap car and a slightly better mid-range car to a premium car. ”

He can't say the price, in his impression, the highest-end model of the Bee series of aircraft, the Kitty Hawk 500, seems to be only selling for a unit price of 2 million RMB? But that's already standard aircraft design, and it's a very different thing from a large power delta wing with an enclosed cockpit.

Lin Hongfei said very temptingly, and the poor Minister of Industry has already begun to drool: it can take four people, corresponding to different design types of needs, and the most important thing is the extremely low conditions and extremely simple maintenance requirements required for take-off and landing......

"Yes! We all want it! Poor Mr. Minister nodded wildly, even completely forgetting that Mr. President was also present at the moment, "Lin, as long as we can prove the actual performance of this aircraft, we will definitely introduce it, I swear!" ”

The poor Minister of Industry didn't say anything like what a madman once said during World War II to make Uruguayan planes fill the skies of South America, but looking at the fanatical look in this girl's eyes, it seemed that he had so in his heart.

President Louis. Carrela's convulsions didn't care about the Minister of Industry's convulsions, he seemed to be convulsing mildly, and although it was only a somewhat distant idea now, he seemed to have seen the spread of airplanes to every farm and ranch in Uruguay...... Uruguay, which is vast and sparsely populated, does need cheap and reliable aircraft, which is not limited by terrain, as a means of private transportation, after all, no matter how flat the terrain is, it is impossible to pave the ground with asphalt, since it is a road, there is always a plan, but the plane, you fly over the river or from the farmland will not worry about falling into the river, and you will not have to worry about stepping on it; Neighbor's crops.

Lin Hongfei is already beginning to think about how the power delta wing with four or five seats and a fully enclosed cockpit design should be designed.

I think a car maniac once said wildly: "What is there in the car, isn't it just two single sofas, a double sofa, an iron shell plus an engine and gearbox, and then install an air conditioner and heater to live." ”

Even to a certain extent, in the field of simple ultra-light and light aircraft with such a high technical content, Lin Hongfei also agrees, otherwise there will not be so many farmer friends who build their own aircraft on the land of China after 2000.

In Lin Hongfei's view, the simple light and ultralight aircraft designed on the basis of the power delta wing are actually nothing, to put it bluntly, it is to design the power delta wing to the big place, simply put, it is to increase the wing area to provide greater lift, increase the power of the engine, and then design a fully enclosed cockpit, using non-retractable hydraulic shock absorbing landing gear, basically the same.

Compared to car design, in terms of design requirements, this thing does not need to consider the anti-collision strength, nor does it need to install front and rear anti-collision steel beams and door anti-collision beams, you can cut corners to your heart's content, even if you cut corners to cut corners more than the Japanese design cars, well, it is much easier than designing a car.

……………………

"It's back, it's back!" Just as Lin Hongfei's brain was wandering into space, a loud shouting voice kept shouting in Lin Hongfei's ears, forcing Lin Hongfei to pause his train of thought...... The noisy engine also contributed.

"How's it going, how does it feel to fly the plane?" The Minister of Industry, Robert Brown. Clem. Lopez was the first to rush up and asked the pilot, who was temporarily on loan from the Air Force.

"It's a great design, it's very stable, but it's just too slow." The pilot of the Air Force transport plane has jumped out of the cabin and is full of complaints, in the eyes of the pilots of the Air Force transport planes who are used to flying, this cargo dares to call an airplane?

But the politicians on the scene didn't care so much, they immediately cheered, they only knew a little bit, even the pilots of the Air Force were full of praise for the design of this aircraft, as for flying slowly, didn't we already know it? (To be continued.) )
