However, most of them are still in the preliminary preparation and project establishment stages. Only a few, such as the American Aerion company mentioned earlier, have entered the development and testing stage and are far from being put into the market.
There is still a long time.
Since Chen Mo has top-notch aircraft manufacturing technology and has needs in this area, he doesn't plan to build a propeller aircraft to practice first, and simply starts manufacturing supersonic passenger aircraft!
At this time, Chen Mo's previous vigorous development of Aegis Automobile showed its results. A large number of skilled workers, technicians, technicians and administrative personnel were transferred out and joined Aegis Aerospace Company, plus those selected and recruited by Jarvis.
With a large number of aerospace talents, Aegis Aerospace Company quickly set up a business, and after Chen Mo took out a complete set of drawings and production technical data for the aircraft, he quickly started building the first aircraft.
Chen Mo does not intend to build a medium-sized passenger aircraft that can accommodate more than a hundred passengers like the Concorde, but a small business jet that can accommodate a dozen people.
Although there are some rich people who like to convert large passenger planes of more than 70 meters like the Boeing 747 into spacious private jets, most people travel with no more than twenty attendants. There is no need to buy large private jets, so there is a demand in the field of private jets.
The largest volume, and the mainstream is still small and medium-sized aircraft.
The reason why Chen Mo was able to take out the drawings directly without even needing to modify them like the previous car drawings was because the drawings he took out were actually an outdated supersonic bomber from Hydra!
Although it is said to be a "backward" aircraft that was eliminated by Hydra, it is still compared to the super technology mastered by Hydra. Its performance is no worse than the supersonic bombers of various countries in the real world.
It even goes beyond that in many aspects.
The fuselage length of this supersonic bomber is 35 meters. It originally has a large bomb bay. The overall structure does not require major changes. Just slightly modify the cabin layout to meet the needs of a private jet.
As a supersonic strategic bomber, its maximum flight speed can reach Mach 3, which is more than 3,600 kilometers per hour, which is half faster than the Concorde, which was popular back then!
The distance from Los Angeles to Beach City used to be more than 10 kilometers. If you take an ordinary flight, the flight time alone will take 12 hours. However, this aircraft can reach it in less than three hours, which is faster than ordinary aircraft.
A full four times more!
However, the cost of building this aircraft is not cheap. At ultra-high speeds of three times the speed of sound, the requirements for the strength and heat resistance of the fuselage materials are very high. The original H-2 special alloy can no longer meet the requirements.
Hydra naturally has several super alloys and special materials specifically used in the manufacture of supersonic aircraft. Although their cost is still much cheaper than the extremely expensive titanium alloys used by various countries in the fighter and aerospace fields, the entire aircraft is
Almost half of the main structure uses these materials, and the cost of the entire aircraft is still very high. Preliminary calculations have reached tens of millions of dollars, which has exceeded the selling price of most luxury private jets.
Moreover, it is impossible for Chen Mo to calculate based on the true cost. After all, no one knows the true value of these alloys and special materials. He must still calculate based on the normal level of the current world. As for the price being too high, will anyone buy it?
Is "Knight" expensive? Is "Thunder" expensive?
If you ask people who buy a car whether it’s worth it, their answer will definitely be “It’s worth it!”
Why major aircraft manufacturing companies began to invest in the research and development of supersonic passenger aircraft? Because there is sufficient market demand, and those who can afford private jets may not necessarily be strong. After all, cheaper small private jets only cost a few million dollars.
However, those who want to buy supersonic private jets are all the world's top rich. For them, money is just a number. Compared with faster speed and timeliness, price is not a problem at all!
Moreover, the advantages of this supersonic private jet do not stop there, but you still have to wait until the aircraft is actually manufactured to truly feel it.
To take a step back, even if no one buys it, Chen Mo will just build it for himself. His boss travels all day long and has to wear a battle suit. It’s time for him to be corrupt and enjoy himself. Chen Mo has already decided to build it.
My first plane, keep it for yourself!
Although Chen Mo came up with drawings and related technologies, the manufacturing of aircraft does not take place in a day or two. Although many related electronic instruments, radars and other equipment can be purchased externally, the core turbojet engines need to be purchased by themselves.
manufacture.
However, with the rich manufacturing experience of Aegis Motor Company, coupled with the complete technical drawings and supporting special alloy materials, the manufacturing of the engine is not too difficult.
However, with the establishment of several new companies, Chen Mo began to feel that he did not have enough people.
It's okay to say that workers, technicians, and administrative staff are directly recruited at the worst, with JARVIS screening and screening, and the core technologies are well protected, so there is no need to worry about being leaked.
However, Chen Mo, the company's top manager, does not intend to recruit anyone to take charge casually. After all, loyalty still needs to be cultivated. Newly recruited people will start from the middle level and be trained little by little. After confirming that they have sufficient ability and loyalty, they can be successful in the future.
It is safe to let them take charge of their own business, but for now, there is no suitable candidate yet. The old people of Aegis Motor Company can maintain their status quo, but it is not enough to open up new fields and lead the development of new companies.
Therefore, Chen Mo currently has a serious shortage of senior management talents.
Chen Mo missed very much that in the world of "Captain America" and "Iron Man", he had Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. serving him behind the scenes, and these things did not require him to worry about at all.
Now that there is a way to bring people back to the real world from the movie world, Chen Mo is determined to bring a group of subordinates back next time he returns to the world of "Iron Man"!
However, although there is a shortage of talent, it is not to the point where it is impossible to carry out the work.
Aegis Automobile and Aegis Machinery are now fully mature and operating very stably. Chen Mo removed Su Wan and Anna. General Manager Michael is in charge of Aegis Automobile, and Aegis Machinery is headed by a former Aegis Automobile employee.
A high-level executive with good performance was appointed as the general manager, and the construction of the third phase of the industrial park was also handed over to Michael. With the foundation laid by Su Wan and Anna, they only needed to do it step by step. Chen Mo believed that they could do a good job.
