Chapter 813: The First Orders!
"Today, we will announce the start of the supersonic private jet, and at the same time start the preparatory work for the construction of the spacecraft, I have prepared the relevant drawings and materials, and the construction of the spacecraft must start within half a month!"
Chen Mo's order has been given, no matter how unbelievable it is in her heart, Anna still honestly takes the order to retreat.
But the shock in her heart couldn't be calmed down for a long time!
Spacecraft!
It's always been something that only exists in science fiction movies and can!
The space shuttle of the United States has been completely out of service as early as eight years ago due to high costs and serious safety problems, and now the main spacecraft in the world's aerospace field is still rockets!
Even if it is the space shuttle of the United States, it can only fly in low-earth orbit, and it cannot leave the earth at all, and the probes to explore the moon and Mars are launched in one direction by rocket, which is a one-way ticket with no return!
And if they can really make a spaceship that can freely shuttle between planets like in the movie, then they will surpass the world's major aerospace powers as a company and become the strongest in space exploration and development!
And since Chen Mo has already made a plan, according to Chen Mo and Aegis Industries' amazing performances in the past, even if Anna can't believe it anymore, she knows in her heart that Chen Mo is definitely not joking, he really plans to build a spaceship, and he already has a full set of drawings and materials!
It's like building a supersonic private jet before, all she has to do is do what Chen Mo asks.
After thoroughly accepting the fact of building a spaceship, Anna began to become full of curiosity and anticipation for this spaceship, what will this spaceship that will change the world's space landscape look like? And how good will it be?
Is it slightly stronger than the Space Shuttle and can reach the Moon, or is it a step further and can fly directly to Mars?
In any case, whether it is the moon or Mars, as long as they can travel back and forth at will, it means that they can exploit the resources of these two planets, just now, as far as they know, there are countless precious resources on these two planets, and no one can compete with them, the interests represented behind this are absolutely unimaginable!
However, before preparing to build the spaceship, Anna still announced the news that the supersonic private jet developed by Aegis Aerospace was open for booking according to Chen Mo's instructions, and released some detailed data and prototype pictures of this aircraft on the official website.
This announcement did not attract too many people's attention, after all, the distance between private jets and ordinary people is really a little far, even if it is a supersonic private jet, it is just a novelty for ordinary people, not too many people pay more attention, but other people are not!
Needless to say, there are other people who are interested in supersonic private jets like Halson Sr., but there are others who have been paying attention to supersonic private jets long before they do.
Needless to say, these are the major aircraft manufacturing companies that now dominate the jetliner and private jet market!
When Aegis Aerospace Company was established and began to develop supersonic private jets, it aroused their vigilance, and there was a precedent for Aegis Automobile Company to crush the major old automobile companies and occupy the entire top automobile market in one fell swoop, and they did not dare to be careless!
In particular, some of these companies that also have supersonic private jets in the pipeline are on the verge of becoming a formidable enemy.
Originally, they thought that it might take a year or two before this supersonic private jet was launched, but now, in less than two months, Aegis Aerospace has announced the start of reservations!
This reminded them of the fact that the "Knight" off-road vehicle and the "Thunder" and "Lord" quickly completed the research and development and listing, this style is too familiar!
However, when the price and performance of this supersonic private jet were announced, the vast majority of aircraft manufacturing companies breathed a sigh of relief.
$150 million!
The price alone made most of their hanging hearts fall back.
The largest market for private jets is still small and medium-sized business jets with a price range of several million to tens of millions of dollars, and tens of millions of dollars can also buy some relatively cheap large business jets, and most of the private jets with a price of more than 100 million are converted from large passenger aircraft of Boeing and Airbus, and the number is relatively small, and it is not the mainstream business of major aircraft manufacturing companies.
The vast majority of Boeing and Airbus' aircraft orders still come from the world's major airlines, and even if Aegis Aerospace steals some private jet orders, the impact is not large.
Moreover, in addition to being faster, this medium-sized supersonic business jet of Aegis Aerospace has no way to compare with the large business jet transformed by large passenger aircraft in terms of space and capacity due to its size, both of which have their own strengths, so although it has some impact on the two companies, it is also minimal!
On the one hand, their supersonic aircraft have not yet been manufactured, and it is still early to go on the market, on the other hand, the estimated pricing of their supersonic private jets is far below the 150 million of Aegis Aerospace, even if there is a gap between the speed and Aegis Aerospace, but it is still very competitive, but it is not worried that the supersonic private jet of Aegis Aerospace has completely seized the market!
The major aircraft manufacturing companies have breathed a sigh of relief, but they don't know that the aircraft data released by Aegis Aerospace is only the most ordinary of them, and the real core functions and data have not been announced, and even the basic data released are reserved!
As for the reason, it is not that they are afraid of scaring these aircraft manufacturing companies, but because the prototype has not yet started test flights, and many of the data are shown in the information given by Chen Mo, and out of rigorous considerations, they did not publish these slightly exaggerated data.
But even so, there are still people who place an order for this supersonic private jet as soon as they open their reservations!
There were two people in the first batch of orders, and they both knew each other.
One is a new fan of Aegis Industries, who is still pursuing excitement and dying in drag racing when he is older, and finally has a myocardial infarction and is shot in time by the advanced artificial intelligence "Kit" of the holographic smartphone, saving his life.
When the old Harson, who was still lying in the hospital, learned from "Kitt" that the supersonic private jet was booked, he ordered one for himself as soon as possible!
And another person who placed an order has just come out of the hospital, he is a pancreatic cancer patient who participated in the clinical trial of Aegis Bio's new anti-cancer drugs, and Robert, a wealthy man in New York with the old Halson!
