"Ah?" Ji Zhigang was still filled with joy after hearing the first half of the sentence, but he was confused by the second half. Fang Mingyuan was simply thinking in leaps and bounds, including Airbus's A300-600ST and Ukraine's An-124.

thing?

But after all, he is an old man in the China Airlines industry, and he usually pays more attention to his foreign counterparts, so although Zhangerjiang was confused for a while, he still quickly found various data on these two models in his mind.

Airbus's A300-T, nicknamed "Moby Dick", is a special-purpose cargo aircraft developed by Airbus to transport semi-finished products of Airbus' new aircraft to various European countries. It has a large cargo hold and a maximum payload of forty

Seven tons, flying more than 1,600 kilometers, it was just delivered in 1996. It can carry the following large items: the heaviest part is a pair of wings of the A330 or A340 aircraft, and the longest part is the front of the A310 aircraft.

, the rear fuselage, the largest component, the middle fuselage of the A330 or A340 aircraft, or the two wings of the A320 or A321 aircraft that can be carried at the same time. It can also be used to transport satellites, space components and other non-standard ultra-high, oversized and overweight cargo.

Ukraine's An-124 was designed by the Antonov Design Group of the former Soviet Union. It was the largest aircraft in the world in the 1980s and was nicknamed "Ruslan". Its cargo hold is divided into two layers. The upper cabin is larger

It is small, and the seats for the crew and a cargo handler are all here. In addition, there are toilets, showers, kitchens and two rest rooms in the upper cabin. This can ensure that the pilots can get better comfort during long-distance flights.

Rest. The upper cabin can carry dozens more passengers. The main cargo compartment below has a volume of a little more than 1,000 cubic meters and a load capacity of up to 150 tons. The maximum loaded range is 4,500 kilometers and the maximum fuel range

It has reached more than 15,000 kilometers!

After going through it in his mind, Ji Zhi was about to speak when a sudden thought made him open his mouth in surprise, and he couldn't close it for a long time. Could it be that when Fang Mingyuan asked about these two models, they were intended to be given to Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group?

Did you buy it? Is it to facilitate the transportation of MD90 components?

The establishment of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group is currently based on the state's participation in the personnel, factories and equipment of the four major domestic aircraft manufacturing companies that participated in the MD90 project manufacturing at a discount. In other words, each component of the MD90 aircraft is

The four major aircraft manufacturing companies are responsible for manufacturing and then transporting them to Shanghai for final assembly.

Although the MD90 is only a twin-engine short- and medium-range passenger aircraft, the length of the fuselage is 46.51 meters, the height is 9.33 meters, and the wingspan reaches 32.87 meters. Although it is divided into fuselage, wings, and

The nose and tail parts are produced in Qinxi, Shu and Liao provinces, but each part can be said to be over-height, over-width and over-weight non-standard large cargo, whether it is transported by road, railway or sea.

It was quite a troublesome matter. In order to send these parts to Shanghai, Fengyuan Aviation Industry Group Company racked its brains and spent a lot of time and energy, and was still worried about any accidents along the way.

If the company can purchase Airbus's A300-600ST or Ukraine's An-124, then the MD90 component does not need to be transported by road, railway or sea. It can be directly transported by air to Shanghai for final assembly. This is

It will undoubtedly provide great convenience for future MD90 production.

People who have not personally experienced the transportation of oversized, overwide, and overweight non-standard bulky goods will not understand the hardships involved. Take highways as an example. Along the way, not only must the bridges, tunnels, and bridge openings passed by

Many other places must be carefully measured to determine the height, width and

To pass, you must also make sure that the road surface and the bridge deck can indeed support the passage of vehicles. When driving, you must choose a time in the middle of the night when there are the fewest vehicles on the road. Open the road in front and follow behind to move forward slowly, transporting goods from Fengyuan to Shanghai.

It’s not surprising to walk for a week at a time.

Before the Huaxia Expressway Network was formed, it was not uncommon for the escorts to lose a few kilograms of meat by walking once. And before the next transportation, all these preliminary preparations still need to be done again.

After walking through it to make sure that there are no changes, you can start shipping. The expense involved is quite astonishing.

Compared with road transportation, railway transportation, sea transportation and road transportation can be said to be similar, but the standards for sea transportation will be less demanding, but none of the three major companies is close to the sea, and sea transportation is also slow!

Moreover, in Ji Zhigang's view, the MD90 is just a starting point for Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group. In the future, they will also build larger and better passenger aircraft. By then, there will be Airbus's A300-60OST or Ukraine's An-124, which will solve the transportation problem.

A big problem.

"It seems that I don't need to explain. Mr. Ji has already understood why I asked this question." Fang Mingyuan smiled, reached for the teapot on the table and poured him a cup. "On this issue, I want to hear Mr. Ji's opinion."

.”!

Ji Zhigang just woke up at this time, and jumped up from the sofa and said: "Master Fang, do you really plan to equip the company with a large transport aircraft? That would be great, we no longer have to worry about transporting those fuselage parts.

I’m worried! But...this kind of plane is very expensive, and the higher authorities can approve it.

Is it accurate?" He didn't know how much an Airbus A300-600ST cost, but he had heard that the market price of an An-124 was around US$100 million! US$100 million! That's according to the price

The official exchange rate is almost 89 billion yuan!

Eighty-nine billion yuan. Even if Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group has a huge capital injection from the Fang family, this is still an astonishing amount of money. Ji Zhigang is not sure whether it will be approved by the company's board of directors by then? Although the above promised,

Not to interfere with the operations of Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, but

"It's not for Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, it's for Hong Kong Airlines. However, if the price is right, we can help Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group transport it." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. He had already considered Ji Zhigang's worries. If Qin Xi

The purchase by an aviation manufacturing group, such a huge expenditure, will indeed cause a lot of trouble. But by Hong Kong

If an airline company comes to buy it, then no one except a few major shareholders can make a decision. In Hong Kong airlines, the combined shares of the Fang family, the Guo family, and the Zheng family have exceeded

Eighty percent, so this is not a problem at all. And in this way, the use of these very large transport aircraft will be much more convenient.

"Ah? Ah!" Ji Zhigang immediately understood Fang Mingyuan's intention, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but he also understood that this solution was undoubtedly the least troublesome. Anyway, if you need it, just use it!

Ji Zhigang took a deep breath, and explained to Fang Mingyuan all the indicators of the two types of aircraft, and then explained the terminology to Fang Mingyuan, and then concluded: "I personally think that from the current situation,

Judging from the situation, although the main cargo compartment of the An-124 aircraft is not as large as the A300600ST, if it is modified, the cargo space difference between the two is not very big. For our current needs, both are fully capable. But the A300-

Compared with the An-124, the range and maximum load capacity of the 600ST seem to be somewhat...larger. And as far as I know, the loading and unloading of the An-124 aircraft does not require special facilities, and this kind of

Special facilities are necessary for the A300-600ST."

Fang Mingyuan nodded while listening, and made a few strokes on the paper from time to time, "So, Mr. Ji is more inclined to An-124?"

Ji Zhigang thought for a while and said: "Actually, the An-124 is not without its shortcomings. First of all, its purchase may not be as easy as the A300600ST. If I remember correctly, it should be discontinued at present. In the past, it was

All the aircraft produced are in the hands of Russia, and most of them are still in the hands of the Russian military. It is probably politically sensitive to ask it to restart the production line, and I don’t know if it can be done. Secondly, the An-124 is, after all, the last one.

There is definitely a certain gap between the product of the 1980s, its engine technology, and its cockpit electronic equipment and the A300-T. Lao Maozi's stuff has always been stupid, big, and rough. It is estimated that the life of the engine and the maintenance time will be affected.

"Only, it is not comparable to the A300-600ST. Thirdly, I estimate that the An-124 may consume more fuel." The data he could know were all known from domestic and foreign media reports, or calculated, and compared with

The real data of these two types of aircraft will definitely have considerable deviations, so he dare not say anything.

Fang Mingyuan raised his thumb. The An-124 was discontinued in 1995. A total of fifty-seven aircraft were produced, of which thirty-eight were in the hands of the Russian Air Force.

Having said this, Ji Zhigang pondered for a long time before adding: "However, I personally feel that if you can buy An-124, you should still buy An-124. Our country is a big country, from east to west, from south to north,

The straight-line distance is thousands of kilometers, and its long-distance uninterrupted transportation capability is also very important to us. Moreover, in the future, if trans-Pacific flight transportation is needed, the A300600ST will definitely not be able to do it. Another thing, I

I think it can be used as a reference for our country's own production of transport aircraft. It would be difficult to learn from Airbus's A300-600ST." China's industrial base was established with the assistance of the former Soviet Union, and its military industry

This is especially true for products. The fighters used by the military have always been imitations of Soviet fighters, so they will be more familiar with the production technology system of the An-124.
