Resource Tycoon Reborn

Merkel couldn't help laughing. Being able to become the president of Airbus will undoubtedly be the pinnacle of his career! It was Fang Mingyuan's reminder to him that made him stand out from the competition of other candidates and become the CEO of Airbus.

The next president of the company!

The group of people quickly arrived at the hangar. Under the leadership of Merkel, Fang Mingyuan and his group entered the hangar smoothly. And right in front of them, a beautiful A380 aircraft was parked there quietly.

"It's so big!" Guo Qing'er, who was accompanying Fang Mingyuan, could not help but whisper - Zheng Jiayi and Li Xintong were both left in Moscow by Fang Mingyuan. Although Aso Xiangyue and Lin Lian were able to take over some work, they were still in confinement period.

, Fang Mingyuan didn’t want them to get tired.

Guo Qing'er's low shout made the group of people nod in unison. They were all used to flying, but they were still shocked in front of the A380.

"It is our pride!" Merkel said proudly. The success of the A380 broke Boeing's record of more than 30 years of dominance in the field of long-range ultra-large wide-body passenger aircraft, and also ended the Boeing 747's long-term dominance in the market.

With thirty years of monopoly, even compared to the Boeing 747, the A380 provides about a hundred more seats and nearly half the floor space. This makes the A380 undoubtedly the world's largest passenger aircraft.

Civilian airliner!

"It is also the pride of mankind!" Fang Mingyuan looked up at the fuselage and murmured to himself. For thousands of years, mankind has always had the dream of flying into the sky. But this dream has now become a reality, and it has advanced to

It was so shocking to the ancients. No matter what shortcomings and shortcomings the A380 has in the future, it will be recorded in the history of human aviation and leave a strong mark.

Merkel personally acted as a tour guide for Fang Mingyuan, which made every Airbus staff look at her with suspicion. Although they were not aware of the news that Merkel was about to be promoted to president, Merkel's

He is also the vice president. If he is a government official from various countries, or an important person from a major airline company in the world, that would be understandable, but... what do they think? Fang Mingyuan and Guo Qing'er are both a young man and woman.

Under the leadership of Merkel, Fang Mingyuan, Guo Qing'er and Chen Zhong entered the cabin of the A380. Although this aircraft was only on its first flight and not carrying passengers, the basic facilities in the cabin were still fully equipped.

"This is a typical three-class cabin. That is, the layout of first class, business class, and economy class. Now it is economy class. It can carry a total of 555 passengers. We can see that the A380's full double-decker wide-body cabin design

It provides every passenger with more space than all existing models." Merkel said proudly, "In order to ensure that passengers have a comfortable environment, our design can ensure that the cabin

The air inside can be completely replaced every three minutes, so you don’t have to worry about feeling suffocated. And we have also developed the world’s most advanced in-flight entertainment system specifically for it. Passengers can not only use laptops, but also choose to watch

Watch movies, TV shows or play video games to ensure you don't get bored during long journeys."

Merkel knows very well that Fan Mingyuan is not only the major shareholder of an emerging airline, but also the major shareholder of China's important airport group company, and his huge influence in countries around the world, especially China, if he can recognize

A380 aircraft. It plays a non-negligible role in promoting the A380 aircraft for Airbus.

Although the A380 aircraft has already begun its first flight, in the international aviation industry, the competition between Boeing and Airbus' new generation models can only be said to have just begun. Boeing has publicly stated that it is not optimistic about the market prospects of the A380.

Optimistic, I believe that Airbus has made a major mistake in judging how most passengers want to travel in the future and how most airlines want to operate! If Airbus cannot get

If there are enough orders for the A380 aircraft, no matter how excellent the A380 aircraft is, it will become a black hole in Airbus' finances, reaching 11 billion euros, which is almost 16 billion US dollars. If the huge research and development expenses are not

If it can be withdrawn, it will be an extremely heavy blow to Airbus.

As of the end of 2004, Airbus had only received 142 orders for the A380 aircraft. According to the authoritative media of the international aviation manufacturing industry, Airbus has to break even on the A380 aircraft project.

, it is necessary to sell at least more than 400 A380 aircraft, and Airbus's own goal is to sell no less than 750 A380 aircraft. It has to be said that Airbus's sales department has

Quite a lot of pressure!

"Fang, the A380 is an aircraft that is said to never crash. Its safety is at the highest level at present!" Merkel said with a smile.

"Why?" Guo Qing'er asked curiously, "Mr. Merkel, why is the A380 a plane that is said to never crash?" She doesn't believe that there are planes in the world that will never crash. Among the planes currently in operation in the world, regardless of

That model has been involved in flight accidents.

"President Merkel means that because the A380 aircraft has wide wings and tails, when it is flying in the sky, even if all the engines fail, it can still fly for a long time with its excellent gliding ability.

This can buy valuable emergency time for the crew members and the airport on the ground." Fang Mingyuan looked at Merkel and said, "Am I right?"

Merkel raised her thumbs and praised: "Fang, you are absolutely right! According to our calculations, if the aircraft is flying at an altitude of 36,000 feet, the A380 aircraft can glide for almost 60 minutes.

Landing. I think this is good news for the crew members and ground commanders."

"Sixty minutes!" Guo Qing'er couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice. This time is indeed very long.

The group of people arrived at the upper level of the cabin, and Fang Mingyuan and Guo Qing'er couldn't help but marvel. Compared with the lower level, the seats here can not only be adjusted to 180 degrees, but also have spacious intervals to ensure privacy.

Passengers will undoubtedly be more comfortable, and they can even lie down and sleep throughout the entire journey.

"If necessary, we can even provide airlines with private suites and bathrooms including shower facilities, so that passengers can enjoy the same service at home as they do at high altitudes." Merkel was very happy with the two people's reaction.

satisfy.

"It would be so comfortable to have an A380 as a business aircraft!" Guo Qing'er couldn't help but said.

"You are right. We do plan to launch the A380 business aircraft at the right time in the future for use by those successful people." Merkel smiled confidently, "I believe that it will be able to provide aircraft owners with the same quality as

Enjoy life like a cruise ship.”

Fang Mingyuan smiled. He knew that someone did order an A380 aircraft as his own private jet in the future. It was a member of the Middle Eastern royal family. Including the decoration cost, it seemed to have cost nearly 500 million U.S. dollars. This was not yet

Including the salary of the crew, the maintenance of the aircraft, and flight expenses. Such a large expense can be afforded by those members of the Middle Eastern royal family who do not regard money as money. Nowadays, although there is also a branch under Kowloon Airlines

There is a fleet of business jets, but Fang Mingyuan has never thought of using the A380 as a private jet. It is simply a waste of money. Moreover, the takeoff and landing of the A380 aircraft have relatively high requirements for the airport. For Fang Mingyuan, who is elusive, then

It's even more inconvenient. The most important thing is that Fang Mingyuan believes that this is inconsistent with his usual style of conduct - being too high-profile can easily attract malicious looks from others.

Seeing that Fan Mingyuan did not answer the call, Merkel couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If Fan Mingyuan could become the first private customer of the A380 aircraft, it would be great for improving the reputation of the A380 aircraft in the world, and maybe even attract the world's richest people to buy it.

of craze.

Merkel took three more people to the cockpit of the aircraft, which is located on the mezzanine between the main cabin and the upper cabin of the aircraft. It is entered from the main cabin. Anderson, the ace test pilot of Airbus who was already waiting here, explained to them what was going on in the cockpit.

of these devices.

"Although the A380 has a large fuselage, it is very safe. It can complete large elevation turns at medium and low altitudes, fly at over stall speeds and over stall elevation angles, and even has the ability to pass through fields at low altitudes and at ultra-low altitudes and at low speeds.

It can also perform mid-air flips! Haha, it may be difficult for some of you to understand these terms. To put it simply, these capabilities ensure the flight safety of the aircraft when encountering unexpected bird strikes, as well as in severe flight conditions such as thunderstorms and strong crosswinds.

." Anderson explained to several people in as simple and profound terms as possible. Although Merkel did not tell him Fang Mingyuan and their identities, she reminded him in advance that they were the company's most important guests, so he started a fight.

Twelve points of spirit.

Fang Mingyuan and Guo Qing'er were allowed to sit in the driver's seat and experience it. Anderson patiently explained to them the functions of the instruments and equipment in front of them.

"Mr. Anderson, what is this?" Guo Qinger pointed at an inconspicuous object on the dashboard in front of her.

"This? This is the cockpit door control switch." Anderson smiled, "Through it, the captain can control the switch of the cockpit door. This is an important protective device for pilots. Not only can it prevent passengers from accidentally entering

The cockpit can also prevent accidents from happening."

"This thing is to prevent terrorists from hijacking pilots, right?" Fang Mingyuan said thoughtfully. (To be continued)
