Chapter 754 End of the Year (First Update)

"So there are only a few countries in the world that can manufacture this kind of large aircraft. It seems that I have spent a lot of money and suffered a loss."

"That is because of the influence of the international situation. The bald eagle wants to be friends with us."

"Otherwise, if we want to buy this kind of aircraft, it will not be much cheaper."

"Think about it. An imported aircraft costs tens of millions of dollars. How much is a car?"

"Besides, there are various parts and engines to be maintained later."

"And you see that so many people in our aircraft manufacturing company have spent more than two years and invested so much money. Now we have only produced one aircraft, and the parts are still made by others."

"This thing is expensive for a reason." Liu Hai explained to his junior sister in a low voice.

"So will we sell the aircraft cheaply or expensively in the future?" The junior sister asked again after hearing this.

"We will sell it cheaply for ourselves, and we will sell it at a similar price to them for foreign ones." Liu Hai did not want to sell the large aircraft cheaply.

As long as there is a basic domestic base, it is enough. As for foreign ones, at most, we can offer discounts on subsequent services.

Of course, there are also alternative ways, such as pricing with anything, ore, wood, oil, sugar, etc.

It can be denominated in US dollars, but not one dollar.

For many countries, it may be very difficult to ask them to directly spend billions of dollars to buy aircraft, but it is easier for them to use other things to offset these billions of dollars.

After all, any good gold and copper mines are worth a lot of money.

"Of course, if they can't afford it, we can also rent it to them."

The junior sister heard this and asked again: "The annual usage fee is not low."

"Well, the fixed expenses are still relatively large, including pilot and flight attendant maintenance, and airport use and other expenses."

"Then why don't we invest in a few airports?"

"Don't, let the local government build the airport, which is a huge income." Liu Hai is not the kind of person who makes all the money.

Besides, airports in various places also need various supporting service facilities. If there are conflicts between the two sides in the future, the local government will disgust you with these supporting services, and you really have no way. This is actually a way for the local government to make money.

Just like the highway toll, some have collected for decades and still say that they have not recovered their capital, but a businessman invested in a highway and recovered his capital in a few years.

Some things cannot be said. After all, the local government must have money in hand to develop.

Let alone the local government, even if I don't have money in my own pocket, I feel anxious, so Liu Hai can understand this, but understanding is understanding, but it still feels a bit unfair to him.

Liu Hai also feels a little funny about the money-grubbing look of his junior sister.

"Don't worry, our aircraft manufacturing plant will not lose money." Liu Hai thought that his junior sister was worried about the loss of investment in aircraft.

On the one hand, the investment is relatively large, and on the other hand, the aircraft is expensive.

Now it seems that the domestic civil aviation market is indeed not large. 200 aircraft will make the country full, and there are still a large number of Y-9 civil aviation passenger aircraft in the country.

So there are many Y-9 aircraft in domestic civil aviation.

Who would have thought that the civil aviation market behind us would be so large, and the maintenance of these thousands of aircraft is not a small amount.

"Well, I believe you." The junior sister nodded when she heard Liu Hai say this.

The junior sister and Liu Hai were whispering beside them, and the teacher's wife and teacher were also very proud watching the news on TV.

Although the two had visited the aircraft manufacturing plant some time ago, it was different from what was broadcast on the news.

And it was the first report of the evening news, and it took up a full 10 minutes.

After the domestic media reported it, the foreign media were at two extremes.

Bald Eagle has several attitudes towards the fact that some Eastern countries can produce C380 aircraft. One is that it is the result of the friendship between the two countries, proving that the two countries are good friends.

Some media believe that it is a complete waste of time for some Eastern countries to produce aircraft such as the Little Prince of air crashes, because this aircraft is still under investigation by the internal investigation department of Bald Eagle and has not been released for flight.

Of course, some media believe that the regulatory department of Bald Eagle has not fulfilled its responsibilities, and the investigation of the DC10 series aircraft is too slow, and the performance of this aircraft is still very good. Although a series of accidents were caused by the hydraulic system of the cargo tail door in the early stage, the subsequent series of accidents had nothing to do with the aircraft itself, and the newspaper also made a detailed report.

In fact, Westerners are just as superstitious. Although most air crashes have nothing to do with the aircraft itself, your aircraft has an accident.

No matter the airline or the passengers are worried, some people call this aircraft a cursed aircraft.

In other words, everyone attributes these accidents to the aircraft itself, even if it is not its own cause.

He believed that this plane would bring bad luck to everyone.

"With all the problems Boeing had, could it be that McDonnell Douglas brought bad luck to them?" Liu Hai suddenly thought of one thing, that is, Boeing also had problems one after another after swallowing McDonnell Douglas.

Thinking of these magical things, Liu Hai himself still believed them very much, because he himself explained the problem.

No one can tell whether there are these things in the universe.

Compared to this, there is not much news in Europe. After all, the C380 is made of imported bald eagle parts.

Moreover, Europe is not very peaceful now. After this war, Niu Niu's image in Europe has declined too much.

Before this, Niu Niu was at least a person in charge in Europe. Now these European countries look at Niu Niu as a bit of trash.

Therefore, many media in small European countries have reported that Niu Niu is only an artist. This cannot be refuted, because in recent summer and Christmas seasons, the top box office movies are all produced by Niu Niu.

If Niu Niu heard this before, he would definitely jump up with joy, but now when he hears this, it seems that there are other bad meanings in it.

In November 1982, C380 obtained the European flight license and airworthiness certificate. At the same time, the maintenance machinery produced by the motorcycle factory specifically for the maintenance of C380 aircraft began to be purchased by ground service departments of other countries.

Of course, tri-engine passenger aircraft are not only used for civil aviation, but also for cargo transportation. In the cargo transportation industry, tri-engine passenger aircraft are very popular because of their large load capacity and fast running in the air.

Boeing 727, Trident, C380, DC 10, Tu-154, and of course McDonnell Douglas later launched the DC11. These are all three-engine aircraft. As mentioned earlier, the engine inspection and maintenance under the tail of a three-engine aircraft is the most dangerous, and many mechanics have been seriously injured.

This maintenance machine is actually similar to a rescue vehicle, but the control system has been improved. As long as it is parked below, all operating systems are operated by people on the rescue vehicle.

This can ensure the safety of high-altitude workers, and they can be directly locked as long as they reach the maintenance position.

Of course, if the C380 aircraft is used for cargo transportation, it can still fly over the Bald Eagle.

In fact, the DC10 series of aircraft were very active in the cargo market later. After being banned by the Bald Eagle, they were all converted into cargo planes, and they were still very popular.

The upgraded DC11 sold later is even more garbage than the DC10.

The fully solid fuel-propelled flying scooter has been tested. The maximum range of this flying scooter is only 100 kilometers, but at the end, it can penetrate at supersonic speed and ultra-low altitude.

"Tsk tsk, Engineer Liu, your missile should be called a supersonic anti-ship missile." The deputy director in charge of military industry showed Liu Hai the test data and praised him.

"And the folding wings and the external structure further reduce the radar reflection surface."

"In the absence of air warning, when we tested it, the ship only found this solid-fuel flying motorcycle at 20 kilometers."

Liu Hai nodded slightly when he heard this. The appearance of his design is a bit like the Eagle Strike 18 behind, but it is much smaller than that one. After all, the range of his model is only 100 kilometers.

Of course, it is also limited by the current navigation and radar technology. The current navigation and radar are very rough, and there are also their own power systems, etc.

In 2020, the volume and mass of the navigation and radar themselves will be greatly reduced, and the performance will be improved, and the energy consumption will be reduced to the minimum.

This supersonic all-solid-fuel flying motorcycle can cruise at subsonic speeds and penetrate at supersonic terminal speeds, with a maximum speed of 2.6 Mach.

Because it is used on the sea, the cruising altitude is 20~50 meters.

The terminal penetration height is 2~8 meters, and 8 meters is when the sea conditions are the worst.

As for the fact that our ships can detect supersonic flying motorcycles at 20 kilometers, it is completely because our ships have been equipped with new phased array antenna radars.

After all, our phased array anti-artillery radars have been out for so many years. If other radars are replaced, the detection distance will be smaller.

Of course, for the supersonic anti-ship missiles that can reach a speed of Mach 8 in the future, my own Mach 2.6 is still a bit insufficient.

But in 1982, this was enough, and other departments could extend it from this.

That is, the missile body is made longer and bigger, and more solid fuel is loaded inside, so that the solid fuel burns longer and the range is increased.

"It's good if it succeeds, but the range of 100 kilometers is indeed a bit small." Liu Hai looked at the test data. The military is also rich and powerful. It has been tested more than 60 times, that is, more than 60 missiles have been used.

During the ship test, the interception rate was less than 20%.

The main reason is that the supersonic penetration is too fast. Even if the target is found from 20 kilometers, the speed of 2.6 Mach is 3182 kilometers per hour, 884 meters per second, and 20 kilometers is 20,000 meters. It only takes more than 22 seconds from discovery to hitting the target.

Moreover, most of the current defense means of surface ships cannot effectively intercept ultra-low altitude.

Although there are weapons similar to the Phalanx now, there is no such advanced fire control radar.

If this thing is to be intercepted by human eyes, it is completely based on luck.

Because to intercept this supersonic flying motorcycle, you have to hit its lead time. If you master this lead time well, you may be able to intercept it. If you don’t master it well, it’s hard to say.

This is still during the test. Everyone knows where the supersonic flying motorcycle comes from.

What if it is a sneak attack?

"In fact, I think calling it a flying motorcycle can make others careless." Liu Hai looked at the product that is completely different from a motorcycle and said with a smile.

"Forget it now. The reputation of the Flying Motorcycle is too loud now. In this battle of Niu Niu, the reputation of the Flying Motorcycle is loud again. After all this time, they are advertising for us again."

"Now the Bald Eagle is regretting it very much. If they had known that the market of the Flying Motorcycle was so big, they could have received many orders if they had built a factory in the early stage."

"Only Fat Bear is now mass-producing the Flying Motorcycle, which makes a group of European countries very nervous."

"The whole of Europe is now reinforcing all military targets."

"In addition, many of their military targets are already taking various protective measures, such as installing a layer of fences around the military camps."

"Some have erected tall flagpoles around the airport and directly pulled them online."

"Also, the hangar and oil depot are built more solidly."

"It's a pity that this supersonic Flying Motorcycle cannot be used on land for the time being." The deputy director in charge of military industry felt a little pity.

Liu Hai nodded. It is possible to penetrate at ultra-low altitude at sea because the sea surface is flat. It is also possible to penetrate at ultra-low altitude on land, but it requires ground adaptive radar, which is the current fighter jet, and most of them are not equipped yet.

That is to scan all targets on the ground through airborne radar, and then let the fighter always fly at a certain height of ground buildings or other things.

Many fighter jets you see in the video fly at ultra-low altitude in the valley and then climb up the mountain. This is mainly due to ground adaptive radar. The radar will detect the mountain in front in advance, and then the onboard computer will formulate a certain flight trajectory according to the speed, climb over the mountain in front, and then go down again.

Now it is too difficult to install this thing on the flying scooter.

Moreover, the ground adaptive radar is not only the radar itself, but also the satellite map that needs it.

Because this ground adaptive radar is not omnipotent. You need to know what the situation is on the other side of the mountain before the aircraft can plan the route after crossing the mountain.

If there is another mountain on the opposite side of the mountain, it may be difficult to pull up according to the speed of the fighter.

"I believe there must be a way, but our technology level has not reached that level."

"Your other two flying motorcycles will be available soon, right?" The deputy director of the military industry was thinking about the other two flying motorcycles because they were faster and had a longer range.

"One of them can be produced before the end of the year." Liu Hai was talking about the cruise missile similar to the Tomahawk, no, the cruise flying motorcycle.
