Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 1354 Personal test flight

No one, including the richest man, would have thought that the real profit point of the flying saucer project was not the sale of the finished product. Instead, it transfers technology and production lines; it is estimated that this is a miracle in the history of the world's aircraft development. After all, any company that develops a new technology does not simply export the technology.

The most important thing is that there seems to be no one who is so great and willing to share the technology that has been developed so hard. It can be said that Bao Zixuan became a saint for a time, but he was a saint with an extremely dark heart.

Just from the flying saucer technology and production lines; they are either exchanged or sold to seven countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, South Korea, Italy, and Japan. It can be said that the profits are absolutely huge. Although many countries pay in cash, in Bao Zixuan's view, the most profitable exchange is undoubtedly the exchange with the United States.

At present, the steel in stock of the U.S. military has been transported to designated locations by ship. If you really buy from the market, it will not only be a matter of time, but more importantly, it will cause market fluctuations. It is estimated that you can't buy it at more than twice the price.

Matters regarding flying saucers must be brought to an end for the time being. All military aircraft have completed their test flights, and it is finally the turn of civilian aircraft to appear.

As the United Airlines super-large passenger plane that attracted the most attention at this exhibition, it can be said that all the major aviation giants in the world are waiting for it. The aircraft with the largest transport capacity and the most passengers in the world is itself a huge publicity highlight. And no one dares to doubt the technical strength of United Airlines. It combines four of the most powerful companies in different fields in the world today; if they can't do it, then the rest of the company will be even less successful.

But everything must rely on strength, especially this kind of aircraft that involves the lives of hundreds of people. Whether it can achieve the effect of one plus one is greater than two depends on this heavenly performance!

In order to reassure the world about the aircraft, Mr. Bao made a crazy move and tried to fly it himself.

You must know that he has never done this before and is not particularly familiar with flying airplanes. But now if we want to achieve a sensational effect, we must let the world see the reliability and safety of the aircraft.

If you don’t have confidence in the aircraft, why should the airlines and passengers pay for it?

Whatever Mr. Bao wanted to do, it was useless for others to object. But just to be sure, he still brought a few parachutes up. Having confidence in the performance of the aircraft is one thing. As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality. It is always necessary to be prepared.

After the test flights of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, United Airlines' super-large passenger plane slowly rolled out of the hangar. No comparison means no harm, the Boeing 747 is not far away from the United Airlines plane. I thought the Boeing 747 was too big before, but after comparing it with United Airlines' new aircraft, I found it was one size smaller.

The host began to report: "The H3M-111 aircraft of British Airways that is about to undergo a test flight is now."

"British United Airlines was jointly established by the American Motorola Company, the American McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Manufacturing Company, the Japanese Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group, and the Xiangjiang Heiyun Group; this is the first aircraft they developed and produced."

"H3M-111 aircraft; cockpit crew: 2 people; passenger capacity: up to 853 people; length: 72.75 meters; wingspan: 79.75 meters; height: 24.09 meters; wing area: 845 square meters; wheelbase : 31.88 meters; outer fuselage width: 7.14 meters; empty weight: 249t; maximum take-off weight: 575t; cargo capacity: 104 tons; fuel capacity: 310,000 liters; cruise speed: Mach 0.89; maximum flight speed: 0.93 Mach; practical ceiling: 13,100 meters; takeoff roll distance: 2,750 meters - 2,900 meters; range: 17,700 kilometers."

"Equipped with four Heiyun HYF-4 turbofan engines at the same time, the thrust of a single engine can reach an astonishing 400 kilonewtons."

"Due to the use of a large amount of carbon fiber composite materials, the fuselage is lighter and the structural strength is higher. The average fuel consumption is only 7 tons; it is definitely an aircraft ahead of its time."

Everyone else didn't feel too deeply about it. After all, it was normal for the plane to be big and packed with decorations. But the fuel consumption figure is very surprising. After all, this kind of data is more fuel-efficient than the Boeing 747. You must know that this aircraft is larger than the Boeing 747 and has more equipment. Now I am telling you that it is more fuel-efficient. How will the people at Boeing feel?

As for why the model is H3M-111, it is because the first letters of several companies are combined. H obviously stands for Black Cloud, and 3 stands for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries; as for M, it is easier to explain, as both McDonnell Douglas and Motorola have the same initials.

As for 111, it means that it is the first aircraft of United Airlines, although it is different from the mainstream international marking method. But when the company's strength and product performance reach a height that rivals can only look up to, you can directly set standards.

For the specific parameters of the aircraft, Bao Shaofu directly copied the previous Airbus A380 aircraft. A mature aircraft design and layout can leave a lot of trouble. This was one of the reasons why he dared to test the flight himself, at least he still felt very confident. No one would joke with life, especially a young super rich man!

The host continued: "Let him prove the specific performance of this aircraft with actual actions."

"This flight was captained by Mr. Bao Zixuan, founder of United Airlines and chairman of Heiyun Group; the co-pilot was Mr. Jason Lowry, an American McDonnell Douglas super pilot.

When they heard that Bao Zixuan actually flew the plane into the sky, everyone at the scene felt that they had heard wrongly.

But it's normal to think about it. It seems that there is nothing in this world that the richest man can't do. At the same time, I am even more looking forward to this aircraft. After all, even the richest man dares to drive it himself, which at least shows that there won't be much problem with safety.

If there really is a safety hazard, Bao Zixuan would rather sell a few fewer units than take this risk. After all, compared to one's own life, people really don't take the money they make from selling airplanes seriously!

Bao Zixuan said over the radio: "Tower, tower! This is H3M-111; it has been marked out now, requesting takeoff."

The French air show has been held many times, and safety issues will still be paid special attention to. So far, there have been no major mistakes. After World War II, as aircraft performance improved, safety was greatly enhanced, and there were no safety accidents.

The tower responded directly: "H3M-111 can take off. The airspace is currently cleared and the weather is good."

Bao Zixuan followed the flight manual and started to accelerate the plane.

In fact, this time it was mainly a show-off, the actual flight was still controlled by Jason Lowry. As for why he was the captain, Jason Lowry didn't dare to say anything yet. After all, he has been promised a huge bonus as a co-pilot, and where does Bao's status as the richest man lie? No fool would refuse.

Even as a captain, so what? How many captains are there at the Paris Air Show in France? Who can remember you? It's better to get more bonuses to get more benefits.

Everyone saw a huge aircraft running wildly on the runway. And the speed is getting faster and faster. While it feels incredible, it also verifies the power of the engine thrust.

The plane was loaded with nothing except a small amount of fuel; the speed could easily meet the takeoff requirements.

Jason Lowry began to pull up the fuselage, allowing the plane to begin climbing.

It only took 2,000 meters for the plane to leave the ground. It began to fly towards the sky, and the flight angle was very large; this once again fully demonstrated the engine performance.

After reaching the flight altitude, start completing the scheduled subjects according to the set requirements.

This time, the two of them played with low speed, medium speed, and high speed. In the end, it was not enough, and Bao Zixuan actually shut down the three engines. You must know that this is participating in an air show, not an extreme test flight.

But even if only one engine is working, the flight attitude is still very stable, which once again verifies the engine performance.

As for daring to play like this, it is mainly because the weight of this aircraft is not heavy. If it is fully loaded, novices like Bao Shaofu would not dare to do this.

The three engines were shut down at the same time, but the others were frightened. Including several other shareholders, of course the most worried ones are the staff of Heiyun Group. If something really happened to the boss, they wouldn't have such good benefits.

Employee welfare benefits are closely related to corporate performance. If Mr. Bao is not around, Heiyun Group will at least have a greatly reduced ability to make money, not to mention splitting it up. Then who can guarantee that they will be able to obtain the existing benefits.

Fortunately, the entire test flight process went very smoothly. After all, it is a passenger aircraft, so it cannot do any difficult actions; it is more about letting customers understand the product performance.

Mr. Bao personally tested the flight, and the publicity was definitely not small. At this time, some airlines that were hesitant and still waiting and watching have also become determined. Aviation disasters are no joke. Now Bao Zixuan has practical proof; the H3M-111 super large passenger aircraft is absolutely trustworthy.
