"Chairman, this is our Airbus. It has a length of 11.3 meters, a height of 4.4 meters, a wingspan of 13.5 meters, a clear cabin height of 5.6 meters, and a cabin width of 1.6 meters. It is powered by two electric motors. The maximum take-off weight is 6.9 tons. The weight of the battery
1.8 tons, take-off distance 38
5 meters, landing distance 215 meters, twin-engine ceiling 10,665 meters, single-engine ceiling 6,550 meters, long-range cruising speed 500 kilometers per hour, high-speed cruising 600 kilometers per hour, full-load cruising range 1,500 kilometers, no-load cruising range
1,700 kilometers…”
The chief engineer's face is full of pride, and they are indeed proud. Because this is an electric aircraft, and as an electric aircraft, it is absolutely awesome to have such data.
With a cruising range of 1,500 kilometers, a cruising speed of 500 kilometers per hour, and a full load of 12 passengers and two crew members, this configuration is already impressive.
This aircraft is equipped with an all-solid-state battery, which can be charged with a new charger and can be fully charged in just two hours.
It has a cruising range of 1,500 kilometers with a full load, which fully meets the requirements of Airbus.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the energy consumption of this aircraft. The energy consumption per hour is only 1,000 kilowatt hours.
Even according to the peak price, each kilowatt hour is only 1.025 yuan. If electricity is used during off-peak hours, it only costs 0.425 yuan per kilowatt hour.
Even at the highest rate, it only costs 1,000 yuan per hour. And a fuel-fired aircraft of the same level costs at least 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.
It's even cheaper if it's valley time. A one-hour flight only costs more than 400 yuan. It's less than one yuan per kilometer.
Such a price can completely bring down the price of air tickets. It is even cheaper than the high-speed rail.
For example, if you fly 500 kilometers, according to the current price of high-speed rail, the ticket for a mileage of 500 kilometers will cost at least 150 yuan.
According to the price of one hundred and fifty yuan per person, this plane can carry twelve people. The ticket price is only 1,800 yuan.
Even according to the peak electricity price, there is still a profit of 800 yuan for this trip. If you add the pilot's salary, you can still make some money.
Besides, compared with high-speed trains, airplanes travel in a straight line, so they have greater advantages. However, this airplane is a small airplane and is powered by electricity. Compared with airplanes that consume fuel, the noise of this airplane is much smaller.
At the same time, the motor speed is high, the thrust is large, and the take-off and landing distances are very short. With a take-off distance of more than 300 meters, a landing distance of more than 200 meters, and a small runway of 500 meters, the take-off and landing can be completed.
Therefore, small airports can be directly installed in urban areas, or directly next to train stations and high-speed rail stations.
This makes it convenient for passengers to ride, and it is very convenient to take a taxi or do anything else after getting off the plane.
Convenience is the advantage of air buses, and this kind of air buses are mainly used for short-distance flights. For example, it is possible between two neighboring provinces, or even between two cities and counties.
When this aircraft was built, it was used as an airbus. Just like a bus running on the street.
Although compared to large passenger planes, it can pull fewer people, but the number is large. The price of such an aircraft is only a few million.
This thing relies entirely on quantity, and it is small and flexible. This small plane can go to places that big planes cannot reach.
At the same time, such a propeller aircraft has low requirements for running. This kind of aircraft can take off from ordinary roads.
There are really no roads, and you can take off and land on ordinary grass. This is something those big airplanes don't have.
Aviation industry, China's aviation industry is still not developed enough. Compared with the United States, China's aviation industry is much worse.
You must know that there are 15,000 airports in the United States, large and small, which is a very large number.
Although China is also working hard to build airports, the number and density of airports are far from comparable to those in the United States.
Although China's high-speed rail is also very convenient, it has its own advantages and disadvantages.
All in all, the market for this aircraft is still very large. It can be used not only as an airbus, but also as a private jet.
If the seats are removed and luxuriously decorated, it can be used as a private jet. Moreover, the price is cheap, the usage fee is also cheap, and even ordinary people can afford it.
At the same time, if you are traveling as a family, you can also charter a flight, and the price is also cheap.
The market is vast and the future is even brighter. At the same time, the foreign trade market for this aircraft is very broad. Such electric aircraft are too tempting for airlines.
Not only can it be used as a passenger, it can also be used as a cargo plane by removing the seats. If it is converted into a cargo plane, it can pull almost five tons of cargo. This kind of load capacity is already good.
"Very good, you have done a great job."
Zhang Fan nodded with satisfaction. Compared with the previous small aircraft, this aircraft has a greater role. The reason for this is because of the breakthrough in battery technology.
It uses all-solid-state batteries and a new type of motor to allow this aircraft to meet this standard.
All-solid-state batteries have now begun mass production. Although the cost is high, they are perfect for use on airplanes. After all, the price of airplanes is much higher than that of cars, and the profit is still very high when used on airplanes.
However, the current battery technology is probably only capable of supporting such a large aircraft at most. If it is replaced by a medium-sized aircraft, it will not be possible, let alone a large aircraft.
The larger the aircraft, the greater the thrust required. For electric motors, the greater the thrust, the greater the power consumption.
With all-solid-state batteries, even if you can build a medium-sized aircraft or a large aircraft, the endurance of the vehicle will probably be pitiful.
However, in the future, with the development of battery technology and motor technology, sooner or later aircraft will become electric aircraft or other energy-based aircraft.
The Airbus was successfully developed, and Zhang Fan had already registered an airline company, and now many things have been taken care of.
At the same time, airport locations were screened across the country and a large number of small airports were built.
In the future, Longteng Airlines will mainly engage in short-distance aviation within a straight line distance of 1,000 kilometers. The flight time is generally within two hours.
For example, flights between two neighboring provinces. Not only flights by city-level units, but also airports will be built in many counties.
Especially in counties without high-speed rail or train stations, the market demand will be greater.
And the air tickets are also cheap, the cheapest ones are even less than one yuan, and the most expensive ones are probably more than a thousand yuan at most.
Usually, most air tickets cost several hundred yuan. This kind of price is flexible and can be adjusted at any time according to passenger flow.
Use this aircraft to create a dense aviation network within China, which will greatly facilitate everyone's travel.
The cheap price not only allows wealthy people to do it, but ordinary people can also travel by air, making air travel the norm, and the profits are very considerable, because the construction costs of those small airports are very low.
