Chapter 736: The Leader of the New Era (Second update, please subscribe)
As Li Xingtang walked toward the boarding ramp, a camera carrying a movie camera followed him and the co-pilot. Under people's gaze, two pilots and a mechanic entered the C717 jetliner.
When the mechanic closed the hatch, the mechanic, who was a soldier, couldn't help but give a two-finger military salute to everyone, and then closed the hatch.
After a while, the roar of the WP100 turbofan engine came. The roar of this Conway engine from Rolls-Royce is extremely unique. Even if you hear it just once, you will never forget it. It is a mixture of vicissitudes and a little hoarse. , and even a trace of shyness can be heard.
"The noise is a bit loud."
Li Yian chuckled.
"Let BMW develop new engines later!"
In fact, this is also the biggest feature of the Conway engine - it is noisy. Before the Concorde was put into operation, the Boeing 707-420 equipped with the Conway engine was the noisiest aircraft at Heathrow Airport.
On January 1, 16, with people watching, the test flight of the world's first turbofan jet airliner officially began.
The 100 pounds of thrust generated by the WP17500 engine pushed the huge fuselage of the C717 passenger plane, slowly gliding on the runway. Its speed became faster and faster, until it suddenly rose from the ground with an ear-splitting roar. null.
"It's flying, it's flying..."
The airport was filled with cheers. According to the test flight requirements, today’s test flight only required two circles in the air to be considered a success. Looking at the C717 passing by in the air, Li Yian’s expression was filled with more than just relief. eager.
"As long as safety can be guaranteed, I believe the C717 will definitely become the most dazzling aerial star in the s."
Li Yian's eyes were full of expectations. After all, there is no similar product competing with it at the moment. If he doesn't seize the market at this time, when will he wait?
Dozens of minutes later, after the C717 landed and people celebrated the successful test flight, Li Yian called for Shao Yunqin. When he learned that you had been watching the test flight nearby, Shao Yunqin was naturally frightened and thankful. He was worried about what might happen. What to do if you fail? Fortunately, the test flight was successful.
"This test flight was a success! Please convey my congratulations to everyone on my behalf."
Li Yi'an said with a smile.
"In addition to continuing test flights, we must also prepare for mass production. I will ask the official residence to coordinate with banks to provide financing services to airlines to help you capture the market first. We will take advantage of the fact that there are no similar products in other countries. When trying to seize the market, we must first seize the market. Also, while occupying the market, we must improve after-sales service. This is the prerequisite for countries to choose passenger aircraft. If their people are not good, then we will train our own ground engineers and dispatch them in the name of the company. Not only can it expand the company’s profits, but it is also related to the safety of the aircraft. You must know that aviation safety is first based on aircraft maintenance.”
After-sales service is the most important in passenger aircraft sales!
This is a lesson for the big guys. They are basically the kind who only care about sales and not repairs. They are only responsible for training a group of ground technicians. The rest, whether good or bad, is up to you. As a result, the passenger plane that directly caused Da Maozi became synonymous with air crashes.
There are even homophonic memes like "The picture wants me to die".
Therefore, lessons must be learned. After all, those lessons are gained through bloody experience. Even Boeing only started to help customers train ground engineers after a fall. If the customer is not capable, it will directly send engineers to be responsible for the after-sales of the aircraft. . Thereby greatly reducing the occurrence of aircraft accidents, this rule has even become a basic rule of the international civil aviation industry.
In short, the same sentence remains. Taking advantage of the exclusivity period in the past few years, Nanyang will occupy as much of the civil aviation market as possible and use them to be more advantageous in the future competition with Boeing.
"If necessary, maintenance centers can be set up in certain overseas areas, and we will be directly responsible for maintenance to solve customers' worries. In this case, perfect after-sales service will be another business card of Nanyang Aviation Industry."
Although Shao Yunqin is not an aircraft engineer by training, he naturally understands the importance of after-sales service as he studied business, especially for such large-scale technical equipment. It is also inseparable from after-sales service
While expressing his agreement, he raised doubts.
"Your Excellency, if production capacity is expanded and aircraft sales are not optimistic, it will have an impact on the company's funds."
As the manager of the Aviation Industry Company, Shao Yunqin knows very well that Nanyang’s demand for passenger aircraft is not much. For example, the C95 has only produced 27 aircraft so far. If it were not for official subsidies, just one C95 could make Nanyang Aviation Industry Company Bankruptcy.
With his lessons learned, Shao Yunqin said with some embarrassment,
"You must know that the C717 is not cheap. According to our preliminary estimate, the price will be more than 235 million yuan, which is about 159 million US dollars, while a Douglas DC6 only costs 80 US dollars. Even if there is a backlog of one, it will bring benefits to the company. Come with a certain burden. "The price is high.
This is the biggest problem with jet airliners. Historically, when Boeing launched the 58 in 707, the price of one was as high as US$500 million, while the latest DC7 at the same time was only US$166 million.
The biggest problem encountered when the "Comet" aircraft was put into commercial routes was that the price was too high.
In fact, if it were not for official investment, Nanyang Aviation Industries would not fully promote the two jet aircraft projects. After all, the market is there, but sometimes...official will is very important!
"There is no problem with high prices. Airlines will soon realize the advantages of jet aircraft. At the beginning, if the price is high, we can make up for it through financial loans from banks, and the interest rates can be more favorable."
Then, Li Yian said directly.
"As for the market, let me find a way to solve this problem. Nanyang Airlines and Air Borneo will buy some aircraft. In addition, Air Medan and Air Surabaya will also buy some. In the future, Malayan airlines I will definitely follow up..."
Li Yian is naturally confident about these airlines of his own. Even if they are not in Malaya yet, they will definitely be affected by Nanyang. As for Mindanao and Surabaya, they are basically Not to mention Nanyang's biological son.
In fact, this is also the fundamental reason why it is difficult to kill Boeing - the United States can use their political influence to help Boeing sell aircraft. You can even turn Boeing aircraft into part of the US aid. In itself, the aid is conditional.
"In fact, overseas markets can also be fought for, not to mention Europe. I can help in embassies abroad. Jet airliners are a product of the new era."
"Haha, Your Excellency, if this is the case, then our 717 will definitely be sold all over the world."
Upon hearing what you said, Shao Yunqin, who was still a little worried about sales, immediately said that he would organize production immediately.
At the end, Li Yian did not forget to remind them that they must conduct sufficient test flights to ensure the safety of the aircraft.
"In the final analysis, aircraft rely on market confidence, and safety must be guaranteed. No matter how much work is done, it is worth it. Otherwise, if it crashes, the result may be catastrophic!"
Of course we must learn from the comet’s lesson!
When leaving the airport, Li Yian's eyes were still directed towards the plane. At this time, the plane carried not only the dream of aviation, but an important link in the future industrial upgrading of Nanyang. It provided not only It is not just a market worth tens of billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs, but a sustainable aviation development prospect. By developing large aircraft, Nanyang’s aviation industry will gain good development prospects, and it can even feed back the military aviation industry. Eventually a virtuous cycle is formed.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yian ignored Comet's "square opportunity" many times. Sometimes, reality is so cruel. This is not a relationship between a dead Taoist friend and a poor Taoist.
Without the failure of "Comet", how can we set off the success of "717" and future "707"?
After all, the market is so big. If the first-mover advantage is taken away by the British, where will Nanyang eat?
and so……
"Era-defining..."
Thinking of people's praise for "Comet", Li Yian sighed softly and said to himself.
"I leave it to you to be the pioneer of the epoch-making era. As for Nanyang, you only need to be the leader of the new era."
