Take Off My Aviation Era

Chapter 177: performance

, The fastest update to take off the latest chapter of my aviation era!

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!

US$68 is almost half of the prices offered by the other three companies. What’s even more incredible is that the maintenance cost is only a meager US$3,000 per flight. Oh my god, is this still an airplane?

Hovinsky, who has been calm and unwavering from the beginning to the present, has a rare face of disbelief, and asked the first question in the whole scene: "Mr. Liszt, may I ask, the number you gave is sure?"

"Yes, Mr. Hovinsky, the unit price of our aircraft is US$680,000, and the cost per flight is controlled at US$3,000 or even less."

"Impossible!" As soon as Liszt's answer was finished, the powerful Norton retorted: "The cost of a single sortie is 3,000 US dollars, and the cost of varnish and pilots is more than 3,000 US dollars. Doesn't your aircraft require ground maintenance? Parts replacement? So Liszt, you are lying, you are competing maliciously."

Norton’s words were strong, but they resonated with the people present, because they thought that the cost of a single sortie of $3,000 was a trivial matter. Even the cheapest small plane cost about $5,000. Unless it’s a glider, it’s cheap. But how can the Ministry of Justice use a glider as a tool to combat smuggling and smuggling?

So all eyes were focused on Liszt, especially the two congressmen in front of him, whose faces were already bad.

Liszt did not panic. Instead, he looked at Norton who was irritated, then smiled mildly, and asked, "May I ask Mr. Norton, how much fuel do you think an 18-kilowatt two-cylinder small gasoline engine needs?"

Norton was taken aback when he heard the words. Before he could react, Mary Johnson said in surprise: "The 18-kilowatt twin-cylinder small gasoline engine, oh my god, how did you get people into the sky?"

"No, they didn't take people to the sky, because they don't need people to go to the sky at all, because what they did was a drone!" Livingster was still smart and reacted immediately.

It’s just that the last drone immediately surprised everyone in the venue. The difference is that this time the surprise reaction was a bit different from the previous one. There was a bit of surprise inside. The drone and the manned aircraft were in between. Bidding for the Ministry of Justice's purchase order, once the matter is confirmed, these people seem to have witnessed a history.

So the invited media reporter aimed the camera at Liszt for the first time.

And Liszt nodded, living up to expectations: "Yes, Livingstone is right. The discovery of our bid-the Type 1 aircraft is an unmanned aircraft, and it is the latest technological frontier built by our H Airlines after eight years. The product, if you can describe it in one sentence, my evaluation is-across the ages!"

"Then can you introduce the next discovery-the specific performance of the Type 1 UAV?" The question was a bold reporter in the back row.

Liszt did not answer. Instead, he turned his attention to Hovinsky and a group of congressmen and officials of the Ministry of Justice. A group of bigwigs obviously wanted to hear what this new thing was like, so they signaled that Hovinsky was fine.

After getting permission, Liszt went to the center of the venue and unfolded a pre-prepared enlarged photo of the Discovery-1 UAV. The staff on one side immediately took out an easel and took the Discovery-1. The zoomed-in photo of the drone is fixed and placed in a position where people on both sides can see it.

Soon a strange-looking drone appeared in front of everyone in the venue. The reporter from the back row immediately raised the camera, and the flash of the shutter immediately covered the audience.

Hovinsky had to take out the drum and beat a few times to make the hall quiet again. Liszt pointed to the enlarged drone photo and said, "Our discovery —Type 1 UAV is 4 meters long, has a wingspan of 5.6 meters and a height of 1.1 meters. It uses an 18-kilowatt twin-cylinder gasoline engine with a maximum take-off weight of 224 kg, a practical ceiling of 8000 meters, and a maximum speed of 260 kilometers per hour. Cruise at 120 kilometers\hour, the radius can reach 246 kilometers, and the endurance time is 4 to 6 hours..."

Liszt paused for a moment, ready to continue to introduce the basic performance of the drone. As a result, a wrinkled congressman on the rostrum obviously lost his patience. The exit interrupted Liszt’s speech: "Wait, Mr. Liszt What we want is a patrol aircraft to combat smuggling and smuggling. We don’t care about the various data of your drone. We just want to know whether it can be up to the task of the Ministry of Justice.

"Yes, sir, don't you say that I will also introduce its superior performance below, everyone look here..." Liszt responded with a smile, and pointed to a small round bag under the belly of the machine: "This is me Discovery-1 The core of the unmanned aerial vehicle's target discovery is the AN/ASQ-170 target acquisition system and AN/AAQ-11 night vision system under the nose of the Apache gunship that just entered service in the Army last year.

Of course, ours cannot be as advanced as those used by the military, because their thing is too heavy, and our discovery-1 can’t be carried at all, so we can only use its simplified version of AN/ASQ-180 to obtain the system and The AN/AAQ-15 night vision system has the same general structure as the system on the Apache. It inherits the laser rangefinder and calibration instrument, forward-looking infrared system, daytime TV camera and laser calibration instrument, as well as the most advanced night imaging Device..."

What did everyone hear on the spot? The UAV of Airline H uses the same photoelectric detection system on the latest US military AH-64 "Apache" armed helicopter. Everyone subconsciously thinks, um~~ This thing is reliable, there is no way, they may I don’t know the discovery-1 UAV, but I can’t help but know the "Apache".

For the morale of the domestic people, the U.S. military made a lot of publicity before and after the "Apache" entered service. What is the world's strongest armed helicopter, the terminator of the Soviet tank torrent, etc., explosive propaganda can be said to have heard the ears of the American people Now, even those who have been concerned about armaments for a long time will soon be able to recite the performance of the "Apache".

Because of this, when I heard that H Airlines actually used the similar technology of "Apache"~www.readwn.com~, I felt that the performance of this drone should not be wrong.

If it is said that the detection equipment of the discovery-1 UAV makes people feel reliable, then the communication and navigation introduced by Liszt will make everyone feel more stable in the field.

TDMA, which is the same technology as the military data link No. 11, is responsible for command transmission; another CDMA communication technology is responsible for image transmission. At the same time, the Meridian satellite positioning system used by the US military and other auxiliary navigation systems are installed inside.

This allows the entire Discovery-1 UAV to be controlled by a control car modified by a truck, and real-time detection photos and even images of the front can be obtained.

After talking about the performance, Liszt smiled and stood up, and concluded: "More importantly, our discovery—No. 1 is flexible and does not require an airport, a section of highway, a piece of grassland, or even a platform of gravel ground. It can take off. It’s really not possible to weld a guide rail to a steel pipe a few meters long, because we can also use rocket boosters.

Maybe you don’t believe it, no problem. If you are interested, after the hearing is over, I will take you to Pennsylvania, which is adjacent to Washington. It only takes about forty minutes. You also know that Washington is forbidden to fly, so I Had to arrange the flight display where. "
