Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

In the room, Xu Huasheng was very satisfied. The range of the upgraded propeller passenger plane can already meet the needs of many countries. If this plane flies within China, it can fly from the northernmost to the southernmost, or from the easternmost to the westernmost.

The international routes are also very powerful. Starting from Shencheng, China, you can fly directly to Indonesia as far south as possible. From the west of China, you can fly directly to Saudi Arabia and Moscow. To the east, you can easily cover all places in Japan and South Korea.

If you fly north, you can easily reach the west coast of the United States and even Canada by stopping in Russia for a refueling.

Of course, the noise of this aircraft is still relatively loud. Although the turboprop engine technology is advanced, it still cannot be compared with jet aircraft, and the comfort cannot be compared with jet aircraft. The speed cannot be compared, but the difference is not too big. For example, the cruising speed of the Boeing 737 is about 750 kilometers per hour, while the economic cruising speed of this propeller aircraft is 630 kilometers per hour.

Compared with aircraft such as Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, the various performances of this propeller aircraft brought out by Xu Huasheng may not be comparable at all, and it is relatively backward.

Not to mention comparing with these aircraft, in terms of range and passenger capacity, it is not even comparable to the old-fashioned aircraft such as Il-18.

However, this aircraft has a biggest killer, that is, the price is cheap. At present, the price of Boeing 737 is about 60 million US dollars. But the price of this aircraft is only 10 million US dollars or even several million US dollars.

Not only is the price cheap, but the later maintenance cost and use cost are also very cheap. This aircraft is mainly cheap and durable. It can take off and land short distances on simple runways, and the main feature is that it can take off and land at will.

Compared with the four engines of Il-18, this aircraft only needs two engines, saving two engines and saving a lot of money.

At the same time, there are few comfort configurations, and all the places where money can be saved are saved. Coupled with the super high fuel economy, in terms of operating costs, there is really no one who can beat it.

If the plane is cheaper, then the ticket price can be cheaper. And it should be much cheaper, even more than two-thirds cheaper.

For the same distance, if you take a Boeing 737, the air ticket may cost 3,000 yuan. But if you take this plane, the air ticket may only cost 1,000 yuan or even a few hundred yuan.

In this way, many people will make their own choices in terms of comfort and money.

Low-cost airlines, this plane Xu Huasheng hit the idea of ​​low-cost airlines. The plane is cheap, the later use cost is low, and the maintenance cost is low. Even if the ticket price is cheap, there is still profit. As for comfort, what kind of comfort do you want at this price? Just be able to sit.

As for the high noise of the plane, this is too easy to solve. Each seat is equipped with a headset, an ipod or a handheld game console, which is a perfect solution.

After the passengers get on the plane, put on the headphones, turn on the ipod to listen to music or watch movies and TV series, or directly pick up the headphones to play games. As long as the headphones are a little better, the noise problem is perfectly solved.

It’s not that jet planes are unaffordable, but propeller planes are more cost-effective.

For ordinary people, the flight time is several hours. Wouldn't it be nice to save hundreds or thousands of dollars by being patient?

And there is no need to worry about the safety of the aircraft. This propeller aircraft is safer than a jet aircraft. Even if one propeller engine of the aircraft designed by Xu Huasheng breaks down, the other engine will be eager to make the aircraft fly back.

This aircraft is also very simple, with few electronic products and few places that can break down, and the probability of accidents is much lower than that of jet aircraft.

With this aircraft, Xu Huasheng's airline can quickly grab a lot of market with unimaginable ticket prices. After all, there are still many poor people in the world, and the low-cost aviation market is very large. The market in developing countries alone can make a lot of money.

At the same time, this aircraft can also be used as a cargo aircraft. With the development of the Internet and e-commerce in the future, using this aircraft to deliver express delivery is also very cost-effective, and the cost of shipping per ton will be relatively low.

The life of this aircraft is also very long. There is no problem at all for this aircraft to be used for 30 years. As for the life of this model, it will be even longer. Even fifty years later, there will still be a large market. By then, the sales of this aircraft will increase, and the R&D costs will be shared more, the price will be cheaper, and the cost performance will be higher.

The king of cost performance, this aircraft will become a money-making weapon for Saxo Airlines in the future. Although the price is cheap and the profit is low, it cannot withstand the high sales volume.

Xu Huasheng alone can purchase many aircraft. In the Chinese market alone, there will be a market gap of several thousand aircraft in the future, passenger and cargo transportation., I can't guarantee more, but Xu Huasheng thinks that there is absolutely no problem with 2,000.

In addition to the Chinese market, other international markets are also very large. For example, Pakistan, India, Central Asia, Africa, South America, etc. They can't afford jets, but they can afford this thing.

In addition to passenger transport, the freight market is also very large. With such low operating costs, even developed countries such as Europe and the United States will purchase it at that time. Freight is the most cost-conscious thing.

So as long as this aircraft obtains the global airworthiness certificate, the entire global market is too big, and the future market is likely to be more than 10,000.

This is also the reason why Xu Huasheng made such an aircraft. If he really couldn't make money and there was really no market, how could Xu Huasheng make such an aircraft?

Now the design of this aircraft has been completed. As long as Boeing helps to obtain the airworthiness certificate, then this aircraft can make money worldwide.

Three big pits, one deeper than the other. As long as Boeing steps into it, it will be difficult to get out.

It is a long-term strategy to hollow out the manufacturing industry of European and American countries and turn China into a world factory. Manufacturing is too important. It may not make money as fast as the financial industry, but once something major happens, manufacturing can take care of everything.

The pit that Xu Huasheng dug for Boeing was to find a way to take away some of the US aircraft manufacturing industry. If the final plan is really realized, or part of it is realized, it will also be a victory for China.

If most of the world's large aircraft are produced by China, let alone the profits earned by OEM, the employment alone can provide many high-paying jobs.

If the parts of these large aircraft are all produced by Chinese companies, it will be even more awesome. There are too many things that can be driven down the entire aviation industry chain. That is, even if Europe and the United States do not issue airworthiness certificates for large aircraft produced by China, China can still rely on parts and OEM business to eat a large piece of the civil aviation market. If things go wrong, it will eventually become a situation where Boeing and Airbus work for China.
