Chapter 299, the aircraft manufacturers who sharpen their knives 2
Lao Wang and Zhang Xiaoping were discussing two aircraft developed by BYD Aircraft Group. The Tianma aircraft is mainly used in the field of private aircraft, while the Shenlong aircraft is specially used by the company as a public transportation aircraft.
BYAT has high hopes for these two aircraft, expecting them to sell quickly as soon as they are launched on the market.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang~"
"We just received news from Xinghai Aerospace Technology Group that they can officially start to provide us with the anti-gravity engines and aero engines we need by the end of the month."
At this time, Lao Wang's secretary hurried over and excitedly reported the good news to Lao Wang.
"Haha, great!"
"I also said that I would go to Liu Yuan's house to sit down sometime. He has finally started supplying goods to us."
Upon hearing the good news, Lao Wang immediately laughed happily.
I really look forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I hope that Xinghai Technology will supply anti-gravity engines to everyone. This is not easy.
"As the notice continues, all business divisions and departments will cheer up and run with all their strength. Now comes the most important moment. Whether we can gain a firm foothold in the aircraft market depends on everyone's subsequent efforts and actions.
Got it!"
"Yes~"
When everyone around Lao Wang heard this, they also replied in unison.
...
Here at the production base of Dongfeng Group in Hanyang, Huguang, Dongfeng Group Chairman Yang Feng looked at the large transport aircraft in front of him with confidence.
Dongfeng Group's main production models have always been transportation vehicles. Dongfeng trucks are very famous. As for the production of cars, they mainly use joint ventures. Dongfeng Nissan's cars are also selling very well.
.
Now in the age of aircraft, Dongfeng is similar to BYD in that they have not forgotten their old business. While focusing on the development of private aircraft, they have also developed large transport aircraft.
This is how the transport aircraft named 'Hercules' was born. The Hercules aircraft is fifteen meters long, five meters high and more than three meters wide. Its overall shape looks like a high-speed rail bullet.
.
The reason for this design is mainly because when flying in the air and flying at high speeds, the design of the front face becomes extremely important. How to effectively reduce wind resistance and improve speed and efficiency has become an important knowledge. High-speed rail bullets
The design is very good.
"Chairman, our Hercules aircraft uses Xinghai Technology's A003 heavy-duty anti-gravity engine. Its maximum take-off weight can reach 100 tons, and its fastest flight speed at high altitude can reach Mach 2."
"Once it is introduced to the market, it will definitely be very popular, it will definitely sell well, and it will be a special sale!"
Feng Jun, the designer of the Hercules aircraft, confidently asked Yang Feng to introduce the situation of the Hercules aircraft.
Long-term cultivation of transportation vehicles has also given Dongfeng Group a very deep understanding of transportation vehicles.
For truck drivers who sell trucks for long-distance travel, the load capacity of the truck is a very critical thing. With a large load capacity, you can pull a lot at one time, and that's how you can make money.
If the load capacity is too small, there will be no money to be made for hauling less cargo. Especially in the past, when oil prices were soaring, it was really becoming less and less profitable to drive a truck.
If everything goes smoothly, I can at least support my family in Hukou. If you encounter a gas guzzler on the road and steal a tank of gas from you, it will basically be a wasted trip.
If there is another accident or something like that, it will be a waste of several years of hard work. If two people jointly drive a sports car, they will not make any money. If one person drives a sports car, it will be too tiring. When you are pressed for time, it is often easy to drive fatigued and get into accidents.
.
Generally speaking, long-distance running is a tiring and hard work. It may seem pretty good, but only those who run it themselves will know how difficult it is.
But once a transport aircraft that can fly is introduced to the market, the situation may immediately change significantly.
The speed of aircraft is very fast. Private aircraft can fly Mach 5. Although this Hercules aircraft can only fly Mach 2, its speed has reached 2,000 kilometers per hour.
It would be really cool to have such a Hercules aircraft used for cargo transportation.
With a speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour and a take-off weight of more than 100 tons, it is very good for transporting cargo, not to mention flying across the country, even around the world.
According to the current freight rates, you can easily earn a lot of money just by running around. The key is that the aircraft is fast and has the function of automatic navigation and flight. The driver can be more relaxed and does not have to fly like
I used to worry about this, worry about that, worry about driving while fatigued and causing an accident.
In addition, highway tolls are also a big expense. With aircraft flying in the sky in the future, who will take the highway? This can save a lot of money.
Of course, if aircraft are used to pull goods, prices will definitely be lower, and requirements will also change a lot.
But no matter how the price is reduced or new requirements are put forward, using large aircraft to carry out freight is faster, more convenient and more efficient than the current trucks.
Feng Jun is full of confidence in the 'Hercules' transport aircraft he designed. He believes that as soon as it is released, it will be a big seller and have a huge impact and change on the traditional transportation model.
"Is there any news currently? Are other companies producing and researching the same aircraft?"
Yang Feng also nodded. He was full of confidence in this Hercules aircraft and felt that it would definitely sell well.
"Traditionally, Chang'an, Great Wall, and Geely are the three companies that design and develop transportation aircraft~"
"There are also XCMG, Sany Heavy Industry, Zhenhua Heavy Industry, and Zoomlion Heavy Industry. The four companies that used to make heavy industry machinery have also developed similar aircraft. It seems that they have also developed some products that combine aircraft and heavy industry machinery. Sany Heavy Industry seems to
An aircraft excavator has also been developed, which is said to be able to operate in the air.”
"There are also several newly established aircraft manufacturing companies that are also developing transport aircraft, but their current capabilities are still small and they cannot pose much competition to us."
Feng Jun thought for a while and replied.
"Those who work in heavy machinery just want to play with heavy machinery. Why do they want to get involved in the field of aircraft manufacturing?"
When Yang Feng heard this, he immediately laughed.
Nowadays, as long as companies related to machinery are really sharpening their skills and entering the aircraft manufacturing industry, there is nothing to say about the transformation of traditional automobile manufacturing companies.
Those engaged in heavy machinery have also come to manufacture aircraft, and they all want to occupy a place in this huge market.
"It's not just heavy machinery. Those who built ships in the past are now engaged in aircraft manufacturing. They say they want to fly ships into the sky. This will still form a huge competition for us. When the time comes, in terms of international transportation, they will manufacture aircraft."
The very large transport aircraft is competitive."
"In addition, companies that used to manufacture electric vehicles, bicycles, and motorcycles are now transforming into aircraft manufacturing. The Yadi Group used to manufacture electric vehicles, and now it is also manufacturing aircraft."
"There are now hundreds of large and small aircraft manufacturing companies, and the competition in the future will still be fierce."
When Feng Jun heard Yang Feng's words, he also sighed with a smile.
Because Xinghai Technology only provides anti-gravity engines to its own people, this has also greatly stimulated domestic capital to vigorously enter the aircraft manufacturing industry.
Those who build cars, heavy machinery, electric vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, and even ships are developing into aircraft.
At the same time, there are a large number of newly established aircraft manufacturing companies. Some people have seen the huge potential and development prospects of the aircraft market, and have switched careers to build this aircraft.
It has almost become inevitable that aircraft will replace cars.
Because Xinghai Technology only provides anti-gravity engines and related positioning and navigation systems to its own people, this also means that the world-wide market is occupied by our own people.
Looking at the annual output of cars and the number of cars in the world, as long as there are capable people, they will think about developing into the aircraft manufacturing industry, and maybe they can develop a big enterprise.
Star Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is such a new company that was founded less than a year ago. The founders of the company are just PhDs and masters studying aerodynamics in universities. Because they love aircraft and sports cars, they also want to
Create your own luxury aircraft brand.
The company is now very small, with just over 100 employees, a production workshop and a three-story building as an office. Their main goal is to produce cool luxury aircraft, in the words of founder Liu Yang
, the products produced by Star Aircraft must be purely handmade, and they are also the coolest aircraft.
At this moment, in the workshop of the Starry Sky Aircraft Manufacturing Company, Liu Yang, Zhang Gao, Jin Yong, and Wen Chengming led their team to continuously carry out detailed work around an aircraft that looked like a raptor.
Discuss and polish.
This is the first 'Prairie Eagle' aircraft they designed. It is purely handmade and its cool appearance looks like a real raptor. It is extremely cool.
"Xinghai Technology is still unwilling to provide us with anti-gravity engines?"
Liu Yang looked at the aircraft in front of him and was extremely satisfied. However, it was a pity that because they were a start-up company, Xinghai Technology did not provide them with anti-gravity engines in advance for product development and design. The Prairie Eagle in front of him
It is impossible to fly now.
"Not yet, they said they will not provide engines to us until they are uniformly provided to all aircraft manufacturers."
Zhang Gao shook his head helplessly and said.
"It's such a pity. If we had an engine now, we could test the Prairie Eagle with relevant data and start selling it."
When Liu Yang heard this, he immediately felt very sorry. There was no way, small companies were not favored, but other large companies had already obtained a batch of engines in advance, so that they could carry out relevant data testing and research and development.
"Good news, good news~"
"There is news from Xinghai Technology. It will officially provide engines to all aircraft manufacturers before the end of the month, and will hold a global aircraft exhibition in Ningcheng at the beginning of next month!"
At this time, someone hurried over and shouted excitedly.
"Very good!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately clenched their fists in excitement.
