American Super Rancher

Chapter 743 Bell-429
Following the sales executive named Peter, Qin Xu and his group walked into the exhibition hall, where more than a dozen of the latest models of helicopters were parked.

Model!

Yes, according to Peter's introduction, the helicopters parked here are all modeled one-to-one.

Cursing his lips, Qin Xu and Xu Damei looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

It took so long to look around the model.

At this time, Simon, who was walking in front and had been talking with Peter, suddenly turned around and said loudly to Qin Xu:
"Boss, come here quickly, this is Bell's best-selling helicopter, the Bell-407."

Simon's voice was loud, attracting many people in the exhibition hall to pay attention to him.

Loud noises in public places are rare in the United States.

Because what kind of gentlemanly demeanor is important here, you must speak softly.

Qin Xu didn't pay much attention to this.

He neither deliberately pretends to be a gentleman, nor is he too vulgar.

Still the same sentence, this is the United States, it doesn't matter if you are ashamed.

But if those foreigners feel that Chinese people have no quality, then it will not work.

Thoughts flashed like lightning and flint. After hearing Simon's shout, Qin Xu just nodded slightly, and quickened his pace to follow.

When he got closer, following the direction Simon pointed, Qin Xu saw a navy blue helicopter model with two mixed-color stripes on its side!

Peter naturally also heard Simon's voice. Although he didn't like this black charcoal head very much, he still had to continue his work.

So, after Qin Xu finished reading, he smiled and said:
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Simon is right. This Bell-407 is indeed a best-selling product of our company."

Without waiting for Qin Xu to answer, Peter went straight to the side of the airplane model, opened the front and rear hatches, and introduced:
"The main customers of this helicopter are people who need air law enforcement and homeland security. It is very flexible and can perform various quasi-public tasks, which is very rare among similar helicopters."

As he said that, Peter climbed directly into the cockpit with his arms vigorously, and he did not forget to invite:

"Mr. Qin, why don't you come up and experience it?"

When Qin Xu heard this, his heart felt a little itchy, he talked to Xu Mengyao, and followed him up.

"Mr. Qin, this Bell-407 uses the new HTS-900 turboshaft engine with a power of 680 kilowatts, and the total weight of the engine has increased to 2 tons.

The fuel is contained in two interconnected anti-crash soft fuel tanks, and the auxiliary fuel tank is added, and the fuel load is greatly increased compared with the same type of helicopters.

Moreover, it also adopts a low-noise cruise system, and uses a full authority digital engine control system to reduce the rotor speed to 90% to 93% of the cruise speed, thereby reducing the noise of the ARH. "

Peter was talking at the side, but Qin Xu didn't understand much, and felt a little uncomfortable sitting inside.

He looked up and down, and then looked back through the window, frowning slightly.

"What's the matter? Is Mr. Qin not satisfied with this one?"

Peter is very good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Qin Xu didn't seem to like this aircraft very much, he immediately stopped his eloquent introduction.

Qin Xu didn't twitch about this, but just nodded and said:
"Everything else is fine, but the interior space is a little too small, right?"

"Is it small?"

Peter looked around the space in the front and rear cockpit, and he felt a little bit complained, it's too small for such a big one, do you want to perform a "Full Martial Arts" in it?

Although he slandered in his heart, Peter deeply understood a truth.

Customer is god.

Since people say it is small, let it be small.

After thinking for a while, Peter thought of something, and a strange smile appeared on his face again.

"Mr. Qin, so, I have a new model here, would you like to come and have a look?"

"New model?"

Qin Xu was a little hesitant. If it sounds good, it is a new model, but if it is not good, it is an experimental model.

After all, without really facing the market, no one knows whether it is good or bad.

As if understanding Qin Xu's worry, Peter walked down while smiling and said:
"Mr. Qin, don't worry, this model is actually an improved version of the Bell-407, mainly aimed at the size of the cockpit."

"Is there such a model?"

Qin Xu immediately became interested. After all, apart from the small size of the cockpit, he still likes this Bell-407 very much, such as its shape.

So without any hesitation, he jumped out of the helicopter and walked to the back exhibition hall under the leadership of Peter.

As Peter lifted a block from his eyes, in front of Qin Xu and the others, a helicopter and model with clear black and white divisions appeared immediately.

Different from the navy blue one outside, the upper part of this helicopter is black with metallic light.

And the lower part turned into white with a huge drop.

Black and white, presenting a streamlined arc, perfectly divides the plane into two.

Moreover, Qin Xu seemed to feel that this plane was much bigger than the Bell-407 outside.

"Mr. Qin, this is an improved version of the latest Bell-407 produced by the Bell company outside, the Bell-429."

With that said, Peter climbed into the cockpit and signaled to Qin Xu that he could also come up to feel it.

Qin Xu was still very interested in this helicopter. He didn't hesitate at all when he saw it, and climbed up while grabbing the handle.

As soon as he entered the cockpit, Qin Xu could feel the obvious difference. The cockpit of this Bell-429 was two heads higher than that of the Bell-407.

At this moment, seeing Qin Xu showing a satisfied smile, Peter beside him introduced him without losing the opportunity.

"Mr Qin, this Bell 429 has a larger cabin and cockpit than its prototype 407.

它的客舱容积，将由贝尔-407型的160立方英尺（4.48立方米）提高到220立方英尺（6.16），增加近70%。

And in the new cockpit, two 6 X 8-inch color LCD monitors will be installed.

Most importantly, the Type 429 will adopt 10 new technologies developed for MAPL, including 87.5 kg/cm[-] dual hydraulic system, landing gear and advanced manufacturing technology of the main rotor. "

Listening to Peter's eloquent explanation, Qin Xu half-understood, and finally got a little dizzy, and said:
"Well, Mr. Peter, I think you can tell me its key data directly, can't you?"

Although interrupted by Qin Xu, Peter did not show any displeasure, but said sincerely:
"Mr. Qin, this Bell-429 is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW207D turboshaft engines, each with a power of 730 shaft horsepower, and equipped with a dual-redundancy full-authority digital engine control system.

What matches it is its maximum cruising speed of 263 km/h and an economical cruising speed of 255 km/h.

The cruising time in economical cruise is 3.8 hours, and the maximum take-off weight is 3178 kg. "

In the end, Peter pursed his lips a little bit, with a bright smile on his face,
"So, it's priced at $350 million for the standard model."

　I asked for a day off, the company moved today, I worked hard for a whole day, and I really realized what it means to have a sore back, back pain, leg cramps, and I can't even lift my arms.
