Golden Fishery

Auerbach, who was reading the newspaper, raised his head, folded the newspaper neatly, and asked with his fingers crossed, "Do you want to buy a plane?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "I thought about it, now that the scale of the fishing grounds has expanded, and the fishing boats' bait-spreading efficiency is too low, it's time to buy an agricultural aircraft."

Auerbach said: "I don't know much about this, except that most of the planes used in the fishing grounds are Polish m-18b dromedary agricultural planes, and the one that Dick Sea Aquatic Vegetation Company sent to the fishing grounds to sow seaweed seeds before is also the same. This plane."

It seemed that Auerbach couldn't give himself any advice, so Qin Shiou said I'll check it out online.

Auerbach smiled and said: "Why go online, don't you have a black gold centurion? I think Amex should have dedicated service personnel for big customers like you, ask them, and they will give you a satisfactory answer. If you want to buy an airplane , and they can also buy planes faster.”

"So powerful?" Qin Shiou said suspiciously. After breakfast, he guessed that the dedicated service personnel hired by Express for the black gold centurion card holders were working, so he called a phone number left by Brandon for him.

After the phone was dialed, it rang three times, and a sweet voice appeared in Qin Shiou's microphone: "Hello, dear customer, Mr. Qin, I'm your dedicated service staff Jennifer Albee. I'm very happy to serve you. Your service, do you need anything?"

The voice is very nice, not worse than the so-called female radio anchors. Qin Shiou coughed and said, "That's it, Jennifer, I'm Qin Shiou, and I want to buy an agricultural aircraft. The best price should be controlled at 500,000 Canadian dollars. Nei, can you help me introduce a few?"

After he finished speaking, Jennifer said, "Okay, Mr. Qin, please wait a moment. Check your email in five minutes, and I will send you the appropriate information."

Sure enough, five minutes later, Qin Shiou refreshed his mailbox, and a new email from Amex appeared.

After he opened it, more than two dozen aircraft names were listed. Followed by price, model, advantages and disadvantages and customer experience, etc., is very detailed. In addition, Jennifer also made key marks on the models with better market feedback, and the service was very thoughtful.

The first one to come out is the Polish plm18-b dromedary agricultural aircraft. The user feedback of this aircraft is the best. Considered one of the best value for money agricultural aircraft, it can be sold in Canada for as low as C$150,000.

There are several other popular agricultural aircraft, such as ga-200 Fatman type, emb-202 Tepanema type, z137t agricultural whirlpool type, peak type, air tractor type and so on.

Qin Shiou looked at the profiles of these planes one by one,

Although it was only an agricultural aircraft, he still watched with relish.

The ga-200 Fatman aircraft is from Australia's Gippsland Aviation Co., Ltd. The fuselage material is an all-metal sae4130 nuo-molybdenum steel pipe welded structure, with an empty weight of 770kg and a maximum take-off weight of 1770kg. Cruising speed is 374 km/h.

The emb-202 Tepanema aircraft is designed by Embraer. The fuselage is an all-metal 4130 steel pipe welded structure with an empty weight of 1020 kg. The maximum take-off weight is 1580 kg and the speed is 230 km/h.

The z137t agricultural vortex aircraft comes from the Czech sports aircraft company. The fuselage is a metal skin steel structure. The empty weight is 1250kg, the take-off weight is 2520kg, and the cruising speed is 228 kilometers per hour.

The pinnacle comes from New Zealand Pacific Aerospace. The fuselage is made of aluminum-titanium alloy skin plastic plate, and the empty weight is 1315kg. The maximum take-off weight is 3742 kg and the speed is 274 km/h.

The only thing left is the air tractor. This aircraft is very famous in North America. It is a flagship aircraft produced by American Air Tractor Co., Ltd. The fuselage material is simple 4130 steel structure, rough and powerful, with an empty weight of 2 tons, a maximum take-off weight of 4 tons 3, and a speed of 253 km/h.

These planes are not expensive, the most expensive air tractor is about 500,000 Canadian dollars, and other aircraft are less than 300,000 Canadian dollars.

Don't look at the fact that there are only five types of aircraft here. In fact, each type of aircraft has more than ten models. For example, air tractors include at-301 original type, at-401/401a improved type, at-400/402 improved type II, A series of at-501at-502 enhanced, at-503/503a new and at-802/at-802u ultimate.

These types of aircraft are the most representative in their respective fields, either as simple and easy to use as the Polish dromedary, or as fast as the ga-200 Fatman, or the most fuel-efficient emb-202 Tepanema, in short Each type of aircraft has its own advantages.

Qin Shiou did some research and couldn't decide. It seems that it is best to buy a dromedary camel, because this kind of plane is not only cheap and easy to use, but also has accessories. Although it is a plane made in Poland, it has a production line in Canada.

However, after some comparison, Qin Shiou still decided to buy an air tractor, and he wanted the at-802 civilian type.

The at-802 was finalized in September 1995. This model is larger than the previous models. It is the first two-seater aircraft designed by Air Tractor Airlines. It is mainly used for fire fighting, spraying chemical agents in mountain forests, high-volume seeding and fertilization. , as well as special tasks such as anti-drugs.

The aircraft is powered by an 820-kilowatt, 1,115-shp Pratt-Whitney Canada pt6a-45r turboprop that drives a Hartzell five-bladed feathered reversible pitch constant speed Metal propeller.

The empty weight of the at-802 is a terrifying 3,200 kilograms, which is more than three tons, and its carrying capacity is stronger. The maximum take-off weight is 6,600 kilograms, the speed is 280 kilometers per hour, and the limit speed is 360 kilometers per hour.

The reason why Qin Shiou was determined to buy this kind of aircraft was because he saw a news when he was searching for these models: the US Southern Command purchased a series of at-802 armed and improved at-802u to carry out anti-guerrilla attacks in South America , anti-riot, anti-drug anti-smuggling and anti-terrorism missions.

Qin Shiou studied the news and learned from a forum that the at-802 was originally developed as a military aircraft. It is very suitable for armed modification. As long as it is modified into a monitoring task state, it can mount optical, photoelectric, infrared heat Imaging, night vision, synthetic aperture radar pods and other equipment.

And if it is converted into an armed attack state, it can carry 8,000 pounds of bombs, can be mounted with laser, radio, and infrared weapons fire control pods, and can be mounted with 2 gau-193 12.7 mm Gatling machine guns, 2 rounds of bpw "border protection" Weapons" precision-guided glide bombs, 4 Hellfire missiles, 16 Lockheed Martin drag laser-guided rockets or m2607 tube uncontrolled rocket nests, mk82-250-pound laser-guided bombs 2 pieces...

If it is modified to add protective equipment, it can install armor on the cockpit and engine, can install cockpit bulletproof glass, self-sealing fuel tank, optional aar-47/ale-47 self-defense system, helmet sight, and add-on machine Auxiliary fuel tank...

If so, what's the hesitation? If you don't buy this kind of big killer, what do you buy? (To be continued)
