Ningcheng Airport, this airport has been under construction since the year before last and has finally been basically completed. However, after it was completed, a sad fact was discovered.
That is, it seems that the airport is no longer available.
The development of anti-gravity aircraft is extremely rapid, and private anti-gravity aircraft have gradually become more popular. Airports have little use for them anymore. The business of major airlines has plummeted, and they are now transforming into transportation.
.
The purpose of the airport is now similar to that of a port, which is specially used to park large anti-gravity aircraft. As for passenger aircraft, there are fewer and fewer.
Although airline tickets are expensive, the key is that flying is more troublesome. You have to go to the airport in advance to go through security checks and so on. It will take at least an hour after all the trouble.
But flying in a private anti-gravity aircraft is different. It is very convenient and fast. Within an hour, I didn’t know where I was flying to.
The elimination of airplanes has become inevitable. Just like cars, they will gradually enter the dust of history.
The useless Ningcheng Airport is also being used to hold the first global aircraft exhibition this time. The venue here is large and spacious enough, so it is perfect for holding an exhibition.
The exhibition has not yet started, but each of the hundreds of aircraft manufacturing companies that have received invitations have already sent people to Ningcheng Airport early to arrange their company's exhibition space.
This is the world's first aircraft exhibition and sales conference jointly organized by Xinghai Aerospace Technology Group and Ningcheng local government. It is also a great opportunity for domestic aircraft manufacturers to officially display their aircraft to global consumers.
Whether your aircraft will be a hot seller or not will basically depend on this exhibition.
You must know that this time, Xinghai Technology Group spent a lot of money in order to successfully organize this exhibition and sales conference. It spent hundreds of millions on advertising fees alone and invited deadly dealers, agents, powerful companies, and businessmen from all over the world.
Come to the trade show.
This is Xinghai Technology creating and providing a fair competition platform for all domestic aircraft manufacturers. Whether it can become an instant success depends on this exhibition and sales conference.
There are still three days until the exhibition and sales conference starts, and Ningcheng Airport is already busy. In the sky, various anti-gravity aircraft are like huge flocks of birds, orderly and continuously flying at low altitude.
There were so many takeoffs and landings that anyone who saw this scene couldn't help but worry that these aircraft would collide with each other.
Liu Yuan piloted the Skywalker aircraft and flew here with Tang Peng and Wang Chen to take a look at the preparations for the trade fair in advance.
"Good guy, this is really a chaotic dance of demons, and all kinds of aircraft have been created."
Driving the aircraft in the sky and landing at Ningcheng Airport, Tang Peng couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the various aircraft in the sky.
"Isn't that right? Some of the aircraft here look like fighter jets, and some look like birds. These are all quite acceptable. Are you sure this pig-like aircraft is not just for fun?"
Wang Chen pointed at an aircraft in the sky that looked like a pig. The key was that the aircraft was painted red and pink. It must have brought Peppa Pig here.
"I guess you haven't considered the principles of aerodynamics at all, or are you planning to fly at low altitude and low speed instead of being able to fly at high altitude and high speed?"
Liu Yuan also quickly looked over. The shape of this pig-shaped aircraft was too unaerodynamic. It was not something that an aircraft manufacturer could produce. It looked like it was produced by some people just for fun.
You can tell at a glance that this kind of aircraft must be very slow. It is impossible to fly at high altitudes and at high speeds because the wind resistance surface is too large and it cannot fly at all.
But if it is similar to a car, or simply similar to a bicycle, and it just flies slowly at low altitude and low speed, it is okay. After all, the appearance is also a major selling point when speed is not pursued.
"It must be~"
"Sometimes it is not necessary to fly at high altitudes and at high speeds, but to fly at short distances. There is still a market for such aircraft."
Tang Peng thought for a while and said that the designer of this aircraft probably did not consider high-altitude and high-speed flight. Such an aircraft was designed for low-altitude and low-speed flight.
Sometimes, low-altitude and low-speed aircraft are also possible. It seems that it is good to use such aircraft for travel between cities and urban suburbs.
"This aircraft is well designed. It looks like a cloud. At first glance, it seems that it does not comply with the aerodynamic principles, but if you look closely, it seems to be well designed."
At this time, Wang Chen pointed at a cloud-like aircraft in the sky. It was a bit like the Monkey King somersault cloud in the animation. It was small, compact, and looked pretty good.
"This one is not bad. It looks like a tadpole with a big belly. It looks very cute."
Tang Peng also pointed at an aircraft and said.
"This one is a bit weird. It looks like a manta ray, but when you fly this aircraft, you probably have to lie inside it."
"I guess the speed must be very fast."
"Here, here, this aircraft is very good. It looks like an eagle spreading its wings. With this pattern and color, it looks very majestic and domineering."
"This should be an aircraft used for firefighting. It should be very good for fire rescue in high-rise buildings, deep forest fires, etc. It will be very good for fires in high-rise buildings in cities."
"It should be an aircraft used for firefighting. It has a good design and is expected to be a big hit. It will be very useful for urban firefighting, forest firefighting, and drought and flood disasters."
"This is BYAT's bus aircraft. It's designed like a high-speed train. It should be a good choice specifically for traveling between cities in the future."
Liu Yuan, Tang Peng, and Wang Chen watched it with great interest.
This exhibition and sales conference has attracted strong support and participation from hundreds of domestic aircraft manufacturers. Each of these aircraft manufacturers is now driving their own aircraft here and preparing to display them to everyone during the exhibition.
Use this to get as many orders and sales as possible.
There are hundreds of aircraft manufacturers, many of which are quite satisfactory, but many of them are eccentric, constantly segmenting the aircraft market and specializing in only a small market area.
This strategy is obviously very correct, especially for start-up aircraft manufacturing companies. They cannot compete with those large companies that have transformed from automobile manufacturing in the mass market. If they want to survive, they must find a way to do it.
Innovate and specialize in refined products and markets.
As a result, all kinds of weird aircraft were born, some of which were cute or cool, to attract customers to pay. For customers who pursue individuality, they are still attractive, especially since the global market is extremely huge.
There are always all kinds of weird customers and weird needs.
Others are specialized aircraft for special functions, fire-fighting aircraft, aircraft with excavators, aircraft with robotic arms, and some specially developed small transport aircraft for transporting goods, etc.
There are all kinds of things. If you look at the places where these aircraft land, the platforms, and the slogans put up by these aircraft manufacturing companies, you can know the roles and functions of these aircraft.
In general, all kinds of vehicles on the market are basically transformed into aircraft. In this way, the functions of professional vehicles are retained and the ability to fly is added, which will greatly enhance these professional features.
The capabilities of the vehicle and the areas it can reach.
After parking the Skywalker aircraft, Liu Yuan, Tang Peng, and Wang Chen also began to stroll around Ningcheng Airport. Because the exhibition will start in two days, the layout of the exhibition areas of various aircraft manufacturing companies has basically been completed.
Almost there.
When I looked up, flags were fluttering, colorful flags were flying, and various LOGOs and signs could be seen everywhere, and most of them were signs I had never seen before.
At the same time, various advertisements are also flying in the wind. The advertisements use a variety of text and are aimed at customers and markets around the world.
You can also see huge monitors in every exhibition area, which are constantly playing advertisements produced by their respective aircraft companies. Many large aircraft companies even invite celebrities to endorse them.
"The Pegasus aircraft allows you to fly in the sky!"
"Hercules heavy-duty aircraft, with its fast speed and strong carrying capacity, will bring you an efficient, convenient and fast freight era!"
"There is no place that the Luban aircraft excavator cannot go!"
"Condor aircraft, be a man like an eagle!"
"If you love her, give her a Chang'e aircraft, a lady's car, fly to the moon!"
"Yadi aircraft, experience the small time in the aircraft era."
"The Great Wall aircraft, the Great Wall in the sky, protects your freedom to fly freely!"
"..."
The various advertising slogans and videos that came into view also made Liu Yuan smile happily.
What I want is this effect, what I want is the effect of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending.
The aircraft market is a huge market.
Facing globalization, it is conservatively estimated that the global market demand for various aircrafts is at least 100 million units a year. Such a huge market demand cannot be fully absorbed by more than a dozen companies alone.
No less.
It can support hundreds of various aircraft manufacturers and drive the vigorous rise and development of the entire aircraft industry.
