Chapter 737: MiG-25 supersonic business jet

Supersonic airliners! In later generations, with the retirement of the Concorde, the passenger aircraft operated in the world are all subsonic. In addition to the Concorde www.biquge.info there is also an unknown Tu-144, which was called Concorsky back then, and the appearance is the same as Concorde, it is said that the Soviet Union copied British and French technology to manufacture, however, the most slap in the face is the Tu-144 passenger plane made by this plagiarism, which flew two months earlier than Concorde. And for various reasons, the Tu-144 did not wait until the nineties to completely withdraw from the passenger market.

Although the experience of later generations has confirmed the chicken ribs of supersonic airliners, but now, supersonic airliners are definitely a popular topic!

This kind of plane is designed to perform intercontinental flights, and a round-trip ticket from London to New York costs 9,000 dollars! That's dozens of times the fare of an ordinary airliner! However, for business people with deep pockets, they like to fly on Concorde, because the time is less than half that of ordinary airliners, and for them, time is money. This kind of passenger plane has become a high-end model, and it has become the dream of many people since childhood to fly to and from the European and American continents on the Concorde.

The Concorde flight from Europe to New York takes less than three and a half hours, and the time difference between London and New York is four hours, so passengers on the Concorde like to say, "I'm there before I even leave." "The best way to pretend to be forced!

The pursuit of speed has been the tireless cause of pioneers since ancient times, and the same is true in the field of civil aviation. In fact, in later generations, if it were not for a flight accident that led to the destruction of the plane and the death of people, I am afraid that the Concorde passenger plane would not have withdrawn from the passenger transport market so early.

In this era, supersonic passenger aircraft are a way of travel that many people yearn for, and the Soviet Union is naturally the best in this field. In addition to the Tu-144 airliner, which had supersonic speed, the USSR had much more technology, for example, a modification on the basis of the MiG-25 to become a passenger aircraft!

This plan, after the MiG-25 was finalized and put into service, was once placed on the drawings of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, and the front fuselage of the MiG-25 was lengthened to become a business airliner. Although it can't accommodate more than 100 people like Concord, it is still comfortable to accommodate more than a dozen people, which is the standard of business jets, not for ordinary people, and the focus is on high-end people!

If you are looking for such a group of people around the world, you can find that there is no better choice except for the Middle East tyrants!

Therefore, yesterday during the negotiations, Andrei gave the renderings of this aircraft to these Middle Eastern tyrants in a friendly atmosphere and asked for their orders.

These local tyrants are really powerful, at the moment, the UAE has ordered four, Bahrain two, Qatar two, a total of eight supersonic business aircraft, which is enough for the Mikoyan Design Bureau to develop this kind of aircraft!

This is not a new aircraft, as long as the drawings of the MiG-25 are modified, after all, a passenger plane, unlike a fighter, does not need to guarantee any maneuverability, as long as it can ensure flight safety.

Although the stainless steel structure of the MiG-25 has led to a huge weight, however, when it becomes a business jet, it can be reduced in many places, and the weight reduction is just enough to offset the increased weight of the business class in the nose, and the overall weight remains the same, and the engine, the turbofan engine on the MiG-31 can reduce fuel consumption, reduce operating costs, and increase the range, this business aircraft can reach a maximum range of 3,000 kilometers, although it is not enough for them to fly directly from the Middle East to Europe, However, landing and refueling again halfway through the road is enough.

For Andrey, after the gradual retirement of the MiG-25 fighter, this advanced supersonic airliner is a rebirth, allowing Andrey to continue to see the MiG-25 modification flying in the blue sky, and at the same time, there is now another advantage.

Americans, with taxpayers' money, know that they are investing in the bottomless pit of military spending, but they never pay attention to people's livelihood! The United States is reckless in its military force, and the country's national strength will eventually be dragged down by the army!

And what about the Soviets, on the contrary? But it is using military technology to change people's livelihood! The MiG-25, an advanced fighter at the peak of the Cold War, has been transformed into a business jet that provides income for the country! Contribute to the well-being of mankind!

The comparison between the two, of course, can show the superiority of the Soviets! The people of the Western world are living in dire straits, while the people of the Eastern world are growing up healthily in the embrace of the motherland!

Bonn, Germany. (The capital of West Germany was also written as Berlin earlier, a clerical error, thanks to the book friends for the big correction!) )

Flying here from across the ocean, President Reagan had a tired face on his face.

The formal meeting would not begin until tomorrow, and after getting off the plane, exchanges with West German leaders were just routine, and now, at the forefront of this Cold War confrontation, Reagan already felt the special atmosphere in the air.

The West Germans are very dissatisfied with the current situation!

The influx of refugees has caused chaos and crime in West Germany, and the West German government's investment in rehousing refugees has reduced domestic welfare, all of which have aroused popular discontent. And some people point the finger at the United States!

If the United States had not started the war in Iraq, there would not have been so many refugees pouring in! In particular, it was at the suggestion of the United States that these refugees were able to settle in Western Europe, and now these refugees are simply a cancer attached to Western European society!

As he got off the plane, a reporter spat at Reagan from afar and was randomly taken away by the security guards, but Reagan still felt the restless breath in the air.

What's going on? Without the United States, where would there be the current West Germany!

"Mr. President, the Soviets made the latest statement." The assistant turned on the TV, and inside, the figure of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR appeared, and behind him, in the background, there was a model of the same as the MiG-25, however, the front seemed to be somewhat lengthened, and there were portholes?

"It is a great pleasure to see the successful conclusion of our meeting of the Petroleum Exporting Countries in Moscow, in the final stage of which we also agreed on an export, our latest Soviet development of a supersonic business aircraft, which successfully opened the markets of the UAE, Qatar and Bahrain." Gromyko said. (To be continued.) )
