Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

Carl came and left in a hurry this time. He only stayed in the Magic City for five days in total. Then he boarded a plane to the Ying Country.

That’s right, Carl now starts taking planes when traveling abroad.

Airbus, a subsidiary of Huayou Company, launched its first long-distance passenger aircraft 'A100' two years ago. The birth of this aircraft has greatly filled the global air transportation market.

At the beginning, because people did not have enough confidence in the performance of this aircraft, the A100s that Airbus first sold were all its cargo model 'A100-1'. After a year of testing in various countries, after the safety of this aircraft was confirmed, the passenger version of the 'A100' gradually entered the passenger market of various countries.

Today, this aircraft has been sold to 3600 countries around the world, with a total of units sold.

As the parent company of Airbus, Huayou Company ordered 100 A100s directly from Airbus shortly after the birth of this aircraft. As the president of Huayou Company, Carl is naturally qualified to obtain a private plane of his own.

As the only long-distance passenger aircraft currently on the market, the Airbus A100 not only has superior performance and high safety, but is also very affordable. A passenger aircraft that can carry people and cross the Atlantic is priced at only US$ by Airbus.

Given the price Airbus offered for this aircraft, many companies doubt whether Airbus can make any money.

But if they knew that it only cost Airbus 40,000 U.S. dollars to produce this aircraft, many people would probably go crazy. This is simply the goose that lays golden eggs.

When the A100 was first launched, Longguo ordered aircraft from Huayou Aircraft Corporation. In the following two years, the official and private parties of Longguo have successively ordered aircraft.

As a result, many passenger routes have now appeared in Longguo. Perhaps this change has little impact on ordinary people.

After all, the price of air tickets is not affordable for ordinary people, but for domestic businessmen, the emergence of passenger flights has brought them great convenience, which has also greatly strengthened the domestic economic environment.

At present, Airbus' aircraft orders have been pushed up to three years later. According to Airbus's production speed, they will need to deliver a total of 100 A100 aircraft to various countries in the next three years. This means that even if only the existing orders are counted, Airbus A can sell more than aircraft in just five years.

What is this concept?

Such a large number of aircraft have initially met the needs of international air transportation. That is to say, no matter how much Boeing of the United States is envious of this business, it will be difficult for them to gain this part of the market after their products are launched.

The most important thing is that while Boeing was researching its own passenger aircraft, Airbus was also not idle.

In fact, Airbus is now developing its third-generation large aircraft.

As for the second generation, that thing had already been developed a long time ago, but the first generation products were already advanced enough on the market, so there was no need for Airbus to release the second generation aircraft so early to compete with itself.

The Airbus A200 abandoned the wood and iron structure of the A100 and the entire fuselage is made of metal.

Although doing so will make the production cost of the aircraft much higher than before, the benefits of this design are also extremely obvious.

The most obvious improvement is the aircraft's flight speed and altitude.

At the same time, because metal structures are stronger, aircraft can also be built larger.

In addition, the metal structure of the aircraft also allows the aircraft to be equipped with more powerful engines, which will greatly increase the aircraft's load capacity.

All in all, this upgrade will improve the overall performance of the aircraft several times, and because the load capacity has increased, the economic benefits it can bring will also become higher.

But to be honest, the new bomber transformed from the A200 aircraft is the real killer.

Because of the emergence of radar technology, when this aircraft is equipped with airborne radar, the "Honghu 28 bomber" equipped by the Longhua Air Force will become one of the biggest trump cards of the Longhua Air Force on the battlefield.

According to the plan made by Airbus, the Airbus A200 aircraft will be sold to the public starting in 35. As for its five derivative models, in addition to the two aircraft that the Air Force wants, the other three will also be opened for sale to the public at that time.

In short, the shell company has developed to the point where it no longer needs support from its parent company.

The profits brought by the A100 aircraft are enough to allow Airbus to develop well in the years ahead.
