Although spring in the northern hemisphere is less obvious in Southeast Asia, it is generally relatively dry, making it a more suitable season for traveling in Southeast Asia.
As a popular tourist destination, Siam has become an ideal destination for global tourists this year thanks to the medical support of Qingye Group.
Thonburi International Airport.
Yao Kobayashi walked off the plane with his wife Kyoko Kobayashi and daughter Meichi Kobayashi.
As an executive of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, Yao Kobayashi has been stationed in Thonburi City for the past two years, mainly to facilitate his work.
He happened to be on vacation during the Spring Festival, so he came to Siam with his wife and daughter.
"Si Guoyi..." Xiaolin Meizhi stared at the tarmac not far away with wide eyes. She quickly took out her mobile phone and took pictures of several aircraft on the tarmac.
Kobayashi Yafu turned his head and saw the large passenger plane on the tarmac. His mouth opened slightly: "A plane with feathers?"
The family stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, curiously looking at the furry passenger plane in front of them.
Other passengers also stopped and watched.
Yao Kobayashi saw the Luzon Airlines logo painted on the feathers, and immediately turned on his smartphone to search for Luzon Airlines news.
In an instant, a lot of related news and the official website of Luzon Airlines popped up in the browser.
[Luzon Airlines’ new generation of large passenger aircraft was born...02.22]
[Luzon Airlines launches a large transport aircraft - Bird 1 transport aircraft, codenamed Phoenix... 02.23]
[Phoenix transport aircraft has officially obtained airworthiness certificates from Luzon, Hongsawady, Siam, and Ceylon... 02.23]
[Qingye Airlines plans to purchase 100 Phoenix transport aircraft for domestic routes...02.24]
Yao Kobayashi did not expect that when he returned to Tokyo, something happened again in Luzon and he logged into the official website of Luzon Airlines.
Soon he found the details of Luzon Air.
However, Yao Kobayashi is also a layman. He flies a lot, but his understanding of airplanes is basically limited to terms such as "aircraft...jet engine...".
He only felt that the Phoenix transport plane was very beautiful, like a flying bird.
But there are knowledgeable people, such as Captain Li Cunzhen, who just flew a Boeing passenger plane from Sing Tao Changi Airport.
From the cockpit, he saw the Phoenix aircraft on the tarmac.
"Is this thing really safe?" Vice-pilot Xiao Xiaoxing drank coffee.
Li Cunzhen turned on his mobile phone and found the detailed introduction page of the Phoenix transport aircraft."
Flying Bird 1 transport aircraft:Phoenix
The aircraft is 35 meters long, has a wingspan of 42 meters, an empty weight of 32 tons, a maximum take-off weight of 70 tons, a maximum fuel capacity of 10 tons, and a maximum payload of 33 tons.
Equipped with two Chixin 60 turbofan engines.
The fastest flight speed is 850 kilometers per hour, the cruising speed is 650 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range when fully loaded is 8,000 kilometers.
Looking at the next page, there are several specially modified models of Phoenix, namely:
Phoenix-Type A (medium range) is a 10-ton fuel tank, with a maximum range of 8,000 kilometers and a payload of 33 tons, or 350 seats.
Phoenix-B (long-range), the fuel tank is changed to 20 tons, the maximum range can reach 16,000 kilometers, and the maximum payload is 23 tons, or 280 seats.
Li Cunzhen touched his chin. This parameter is better than that of the Boeing 737 in all aspects, especially the energy consumption per unit of transportation volume, which is only about 27.6% of the Boeing 737.
"Fake data?" Xiao Xiaoxing looked in disbelief.
"Even if it is exaggerated, the difference in energy saving should not be too big." Based on his own experience, Li Cunzhen judged that the probability of Phoenix aircraft being counterfeited was not high.
After all, this thing is already flying. If the energy consumption is faked, then Siam Airlines and Qingye Airlines, which have purchased the aircraft now, will also follow suit?
Although Li Cunzhen knew that the relationship between Luzon, Siam, and Hongsawady was as good as wearing the same pants, there was no use in lying about this kind of thing.
Xiao Xiaoxing then thought about it and felt that it was unlikely that the energy consumption could be faked.
If a product is to be faked, it usually involves the service life of parts and raw materials.
As for performance parameters on the surface such as energy consumption, range, payload, etc., airlines will definitely need to test them before purchasing them, so there is basically no possibility of fraud.
Xiao Xiaoxing showed a funny and scary expression: "This is too exaggerated. Energy consumption is only 27.6%. Boeing and Airbus are not enough to beat Luzon Airlines!"
"It's taking off..."
"What?"
Li Cunzhen pointed to the runway.
I saw a Phoenix passenger plane coming out of the tarmac and entering the runway.
Xiao Xiaoxing picked up her phone and turned on the telescope function to zoom in. She could see that the feathers on the wings and fuselage were swinging.
After a while, the plane began to accelerate on the runway.
"What a short run-up distance..." Li Cunzhen saw that the Phoenix passenger plane had only slid about two-thirds of its length on the runway and was about to start to leave the ground.
Xiao Xiaoxing, who was holding a mobile phone, zoomed in on the screen and saw the feathers on the surface of the Phoenix passenger plane, which were constantly swinging, and the shape was different every second.
“Is this the secret to the Phoenix jet’s ultra-low energy consumption?”
Li Cunzhen looked at the Phoenix passenger plane soaring into the sky and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Boeing and Airbus have met their opponents."
In fact, the two of them didn't know that the data released by Luzon Air had some more confidential things that were not released.
For example: the service life of the engine and the experience blessing of the flight route.
In terms of engine service life, Luzon Airlines has continued the material advantages of Homo sapiens. This is not surprising.
The experience of flying routes is another unique advantage of Luzon Airlines.
Specifically, aircraft using the Flying Bird system will become more and more efficient as the flight time goes by during fixed route flights, thereby reducing energy consumption per unit flight distance.
In other words, the energy consumption data of 27.6% is actually because the Phoenix aircraft is not familiar with the route, so it needs to consume so much aviation kerosene.
Once the Phoenix Aircraft is familiar with the route and collects sufficient airflow direction, airflow speed, temperature, air density, and air humidity on the route, it can establish a route flight database.
Through these data, the Phoenix Aircraft can accurately control the flight posture and feather shape, allowing the Phoenix Aircraft to maintain optimal flight efficiency at all times.
As long as they fly for a few years, Phoenix Airliner will basically be able to figure out the changes in the four seasons of that route throughout the year.
As a manufacturing company of Phoenix aircraft, Luzon Airlines’ route master database collects flight data of operating aircraft every month, so that route data can be quickly shared.
In other words, as long as the Phoenix airliner flies along the flight route, other Phoenix airliners can gain "experience".
This situation is unknown to the outside world.
Only a few airline operating companies affiliated with Homo sapiens know about it.
The energy consumption of 27.6% has already put Boeing and Airbus at a disadvantage. If this kind of route database is released again, Boeing and Airbus will probably be in despair.
In fact, Boeing and Airbus are already in a hurry now.
On the one hand, they hired cyber trolls to blackmail Luzon Airlines’ aircraft, and on the other hand, they hoped to obtain Luzon Airlines’ aircraft manufacturing technology.
The bosses behind America have already added an unforgivable crime to Luzon on a small note - surpassing America in technology and seriously threatening the survival of America's core technology enterprises.
