Chapter 279 Aircraft Model Company
On November 2026, 11, the team of Lu Ben and Xu Longfei moved the studio to Pengcheng. Wu Hao found a place of about 15 square meters in Haotian Technology, and used it as an aircraft model development studio after a separate partition. At the same time, he also registered a Aircraft model company, as a window for external business.

"Long Fei, from today onwards, you will start making model airplanes and videos of playing with model airplanes. I have prepared the filming team for you."

Wu Hao intends to build traffic first. After all, there are not many aircraft model production studios with such a professional team in China.

"It is also a good choice to start publicity first. We have also made videos before, but they were not successful and the number of views was not much."

Xu Longfei and his technical team are a group of honest men in science and technology. They are not good at creating sensational scenes and matching nice BGM.

Moreover, there will be a lot of aviation terms in the video, which makes people confused, and the things produced are relatively boring.

Now Wu Hao has assigned them a professional shooting team, with special scripts and post-editing of videos, so that the videos produced in this way can be more interesting and more enjoyable to watch.

"Come on, tell me why your model airplanes don't make money." Wu Hao wanted to hear their opinions. Although his ambition was not above model airplanes, as a company, he still had to find a way to make money.

"Because there are not many people playing model airplanes in China, there is no big market, especially high-end model airplanes, which all need to be customized, and the price is expensive and there are few people who are willing to invest money." Xu Longfei said his judgment.

"Furthermore, the supporting equipment in China is relatively simple. Most of them still use ducted engines, and relatively high-end turbojet engines are rarely used. There are also ultra-light fuselages made of special aviation materials, and high-end remote control electronic equipment. Many of these things rely on imports, resulting in expensive model airplanes and a relatively narrow audience.” Luben analyzed the problem from his own perspective.

"Then why did you enter this industry and what is your goal?" Wu Hao asked.

It is necessary to find out the thoughts of these young people before giving correct guidance. They talked about many technical factors, but they did not mention the key points of how to expand the market. This is a terrible place for young people to start a business.

"We want to change the backwardness of domestic aircraft models, prepare technology and materials, and quickly occupy the market after the market starts." Xu Longfei said boldly.

Hearing Xu Longfei's words, Wu Hao could probably guess the reason for their failure. They were too obsessed with technology, ignored the market opportunity, and ignored whether their own financial resources could support technology research and development.

This is the biggest disadvantage of college students with high IQ entrepreneurship. They lack objective judgment on the market and are too obsessed with appreciation of their own abilities.

"What is the price of the best-selling model airplane now? What material is used? What kind of engine is used?" Wu Hao cut directly to the topic.

"The best sellers are model airplanes that are printed, cut and assembled on kt boards. The price is below [-] yuan. The engine is an electric ducted engine that uses a relatively simple mechanical rod control technology. It is a low-end product abroad." Xu Longfei replied.

He didn't want to make this kind of product, because the technology is too simple, and there are already many manufacturers on the e-commerce platform, both in terms of price and profit, which are very low.

"Why don't you do this market? Because the technical content is too low? Or is there any other reason?" Wu Hao continued to ask.

"Low technology content, many manufacturers, almost no price and profit, and the aircraft made of this material is ugly, and the aerodynamic shape of the real aircraft is very different, making it difficult to operate and easy to blow up." Luben answered this question.

"I would like to make a suggestion. Do you think it is feasible? Use kt boards for the wings and other control surfaces, and use light plastic for the fuselage. Can you make a scale model like the real one?" Wu Hao wanted to find a compromise .

"It can be done, but the cost will be much more expensive, and the weight will increase. The thrust-to-weight ratio of the two ducted engines cannot be achieved, and it will be difficult to even fly." Xu Longfei made a simple estimate and came to a pessimistic conclusion. .

"That is to say, if you don't change the engine, you can't make a better aircraft, right." Wu Hao began to look for the best solution.

"Yes, for an aircraft, the engine determines everything. The reason why the current low-end ducted model aircraft uses kt board as the main material is because the thrust of the duct is not strong enough. The weight of the body can be reduced to an order of magnitude suitable for flying." Xu Longfei answered in the affirmative.

"Then make research and development breakthroughs in two aspects. First, whether it is possible to use ultra-light materials such as graphene foam to realize airframe production, or think about whether there are other solutions; secondly, develop a new The engine, the thrust of the electric ducted engine is increased, so that the heavier aircraft model can fly, and at the same time, the cost can be controlled at a reasonable level.”

Wu Hao came to the conclusion that his original intention was to verify the body material and ducted engine of the roller coaster through the model airplane. Since the model airplane company has been established, let these young people first solve the two parts of the problem through this project. Solve it, as for the ultra-light hydrogen airbag fuselage, it will wait until this material can be mass-produced.

"I agree with Mr. Wu's plan, and I will leave the fuselage materials to Lu Ben. We will find a way to solve the problem of small thrust of the ducted engine." Xu Longfei said excitedly, since the investor will not force him to make low-end products, he will Of course, they have to work hard to make the ideal model aircraft in their hearts. The ducted engine is something they have long wanted to improve, and they have a preliminary plan, so they are full of confidence.

"This ducted engine is the key! I need two versions, one version is a low-power version, using the existing hard plastic as the main material of the engine, the new product is 50.00% more thrust than the current ducted engine; the other The version is a high-power version, using graphene foam, or carbon fiber materials, the new product is more than double the thrust of the current ducted engine, and the weight is lighter."

The focus is on the improvement of the engine. Wu Hao knows in his heart that the thrust of this electric-driven ducted engine can be increased through step-by-step compression technology. As long as the duct is made longer and the compression ratio is increased, the thrust will be stronger.

But how to design the compression ratio is the key. This is something ordinary people can't do. Only a few of them who are involved in aviation manufacturing know the calculation method and make the product Wu Hao wants.

"Okay, we already have a preliminary plan for improving the engine. Starting today, we will invest in research and development." Xu Longfei has already started gearing up.

"Before starting research and development, I have to take a look at your research and development plan, and make reasonable improvement measures based on market demand. You can't develop blindly."

"no problem!"
