Chapter 794 Director, our expenses will be relatively large
Zhang Qihang went on to say: "I won't say much about the specific types of ultra-light aircraft. All countries have very loose management measures for this type of aircraft. You need to go through about 10 hours of flight training and get a certificate before you can board the plane.

On the top of the ultra-light aircraft is the light sports aircraft. There are a wide variety of light sports aircraft, including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, rotorcraft, powered delta wings and hot air balloons. Our helicopter belongs to the light sports aircraft.Several core requirements for this type of aircraft in the world are: the maximum take-off weight cannot exceed 700 kg, the number of passengers including the pilot does not exceed 2, and if there is a cockpit, the cockpit must be a non-pressurized cockpit. Power, if any, must be a single piston engine.

Light sport aircraft require airworthiness certification and a pilot's license, but countries have very loose regulations on the management of such aircraft. For example, aircraft can be sold in the form of kits. Simply put, it is a bit like a manufacturer sending a All the parts of the motorcycle, we will assemble these parts into a motorcycle step by step at home according to the instructions and supporting tools..."

Chen Haiyang nodded again and again, and now he heard Zhang Qihang say that the plane can still be sold and assembled in this way, and he was immediately amazed: "Can it still be like this?"

"Yes." Facing Chen Haiyang's shocked gaze, Zhang Qihang nodded affirmatively: "In fact, the number of this type of aircraft in the United States is very large, according to statistics, it is roughly between 9000 and 12000. A special aircraft assembly culture has even formed among the $10 affluent middle-class families, because many people’s enlightenment of aircraft knowledge began when they were young and followed their father in their own garage to assemble aircraft.”

"This is really..."

Chen Haiyang shook his head, he didn't even know what to say for a moment: when a child was young, he learned to assemble airplanes from his father in his garage, what are our children doing?
Zhang Qihang didn't know that Chen Haiyang still had such a mental journey in his heart. He continued: "You need to take a flight license to fly a sports aircraft, but the test is the most entry-level sports flight license. The difficulty of obtaining this flight license is very low. , as long as you go through 30 hours of flight training and learning... You have also seen our aircraft, which is very simple, so naturally there is no difficulty in learning."

Chen Haiyang nodded subconsciously.

He had seen the instrument system of Huateng Industrial Group’s trainer helicopter when he was visiting an army aviation regiment in the military region. Compared with the cabin full of various instruments in civil aviation aircraft, he was shocked at that time: just a few instruments, Can this plane fly?

Thinking about it now, learning such a simple thing should not be much more difficult than learning to drive.

"From light sport aircraft to above, it is a normal aircraft," Zhang Qihang continued: "As long as the maximum take-off weight exceeds 700 kilograms, it is a normal aircraft, including all kinds of civil aviation aircraft and military aircraft that we are familiar with.

However, in terms of normal civil aircraft, if it is further refined, it can be divided into general-purpose aircraft and ordinary civil aviation aircraft. General-purpose aircraft are small aircraft with more than 2 seats and less than 19 seats, such as our country's Yun-5, Yun -12 are all general-purpose aircraft, so-called "small aircraft"; and aircraft with more than 19 seats must be equipped with flight attendants according to the regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization, and they belong to regional airliners or mainline aircraft. "

"I basically understand," Chen Haiyang nodded again and again, and said with emotion: "If I hadn't heard from you, I really didn't know that there are so many classifications of aircraft...Xiao Zhang, I heard that the United States is against other countries. The aircraft manufacturer is very strict, do you think this certification is easy? After all, we have nothing to do with the United States, and the relationship between the two countries is also a bit tense now."

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang said with confidence: "If it is to apply for the airworthiness certification of civil aviation airliners, then I definitely dare not even think about it, but if we only apply for the World Bank of sports aircraft, then the problem is not Big."

Speaking of this, facing Chen Haiyang's puzzled eyes, Zhang Qihang explained to him: "Director, before we plan to go to the United States for airworthiness certification, we still did some homework, and it is precisely because of these homework that we feel that We are sure we can pass it before we plan to do airworthiness certification.”

Chen Haiyang nodded and said, "Well, tell me the reason, and I'll listen."

"Director, the aviation industry in the United States is somewhat special, showing a relatively serious polarization," Zhang Qihang explained: "On one side are large military aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, General Electric, and Lockheed. And civil aircraft manufacturers, in the field of large aircraft, the US government has been actively promoting the formation of super monopoly giants over the years..."

"Wait a minute," Chen Haiyang interrupted Zhang Qihang, and couldn't help but said, "You said that the US government is promoting the formation of super monopoly giants in the aviation industry? How is this possible? Isn't the US always actively cracking down on monopoly?"

Zhang Qihang is not surprised that Chen Haiyang asked such a question, because leaders like Chen Haiyang have experienced the best period of Sino-Milan relations. The impression of the United States is still very good, especially in the area of ​​monopoly. They have always believed that the US government is actively cracking down on monopoly behavior. The US government broke up Standard Oil under great pressure back then. This is the best proof. Now They said that the US government is actively promoting the itinerary of the monopoly giants, of course they cannot accept it.

He did not argue with Chen Haiyang, but spoke with facts: "Leader, you can see the attitude of the US government from the actions of the United States in the aviation industry over the years: in 1984, one of the three major civil aircraft manufacturers in the United States Lockheed has given up its own large-scale civil aircraft manufacturing business, and from this moment on, there are only two large-scale civil aircraft companies in the United States, McDonnell Douglas and Boeing..."

After all, Chen Haiyang is not stupid. After hearing Zhang Qihang say that Lockheed gave up the civil aircraft business, he immediately reacted, and couldn't help muttering: "Now, the Boeing Company's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas is about to be settled... "

At any rate, he is also the head of the State Z Office of a province. Chen Haiyang knows very well what it means once the acquisition is successful: it means that Boeing will become the only large civil aircraft manufacturer in the United States.

Even after realizing this, he immediately realized why the Americans did this: twisting the top aviation power of the United States into one rope to compete with the Europeans—the Airbus Group has risen rapidly over the years, and in He naturally knows that the field of large civil airliners has seriously threatened the interests of the Americans.

Thinking of this, Chen Haiyang was shocked and found that what Zhang Qihang said was right. In the field of aviation, the US government has been actively promoting the formation of super monopoly giants.

Realizing this, Chen Haiyang's eyes gradually lit up.

Based on the sensitivity of a political figure, he has realized that these things are enough to support him to publish a high-quality article. If he can write an article about the reasons why the US government does this and the deep-seated international strategic game behind it, publish it on In terms of internal reference, it will be of great benefit to yourself!
For a while, he even wanted to go back and look up relevant information immediately.But let him still know what he is going to do now, force himself to suppress his agitated heart, and ask Zhang Qihang: "Then what is the attitude of the US government in this small aircraft field?"

Unknowingly, Chen Haiyang's tone towards Zhang Qihang was much more polite - before that, he felt that Zhang Qihang was just a comrade with good management ability, and the success of Huateng Industrial Group was more due to Zhang Qihang's good luck , But now the exchange with Zhang Qihang made Chen Haiyang realize that Zhang Qihang has real skills. Of course, he should give sufficient respect to such a comrade with such a far-reaching strategic vision.

Zhang Qihang explained: "In the field of light sports aircraft and general-purpose aircraft, because the technology content is not high, the US government regards them as the existence that can accommodate a large number of employed people. In the US, companies engaged in the research of this small aircraft There are as many as thousands of companies engaged in upstream and downstream services around these companies. At the same time, in order to promote the development of these companies, the U.S. government strongly encourages and supports the development of general aviation. The quantity can be seen.

Because of the fierce market competition among these companies, the United States has the most powerful and developed private research and development force in the field of general aviation and light sport aircraft in the world today. Because it can promote and increase employment, the aviation management department of the United States is very concerned about trying to do so in this field. Foreign aviation companies entering the US market in one field are quite tolerant, and basically they can treat every company and their aircraft fairly for airworthiness certification. "

"That's it, that's good. Since you have done the investigation and are sure, then go ahead. The province supports your decision."

"Thank you, leader," said Zhang Qihang, "by the way, leader, this time we are going to the United States to do airworthiness certification. In order to minimize trouble and speed up the certification, we are going to cooperate with a professional agency company in the United States, so we need Properly demonstrate the strength of the company, so the cost of living, travel and food may be relatively large, will this part be more troublesome?"
