A doctor who travels through two eras

Huang Jinpeng was a soldier and wanted to lie, but he finally gritted his teeth and told the truth:
"Most of these planes are second-hand, and this is just one of the first batches. There are 24 more parked at another airport in Gansu.

As no one wanted to buy these planes, we came up with an idea: to rent them out. We could even rent them out together with the pilots, which indeed became popular in many poor countries.

But our aircraft still had various problems, and over time we had to withdraw them one after another.

In the end, it couldn't be sold and no one was interested in renting it, so it just sat at the airport waiting for the right person.

But don't worry, Director Lin, we maintain all these planes normally and test-fly them regularly every year, so there will be absolutely no problems."

Lin Sanqi was a little speechless, thinking to himself, what the hell is this, waiting for the right person? Do you think this is an old leftover woman?

In other words, he plans to move these planes to another time and space, so the deal can still be negotiated.

Whenever Lingnan Hall wanted to use these planes as its own private jets or to purchase them to start an airline, he would turn around and leave.

Airplanes are no joke. If they fall, they will be smashed to pieces, and not even the bones can be found.

The fact that these planes were returned shows that the problems are still quite prominent. At least they have not been truly recognized by global airlines, which means that these planes can only be regarded as failed products.

So Lin Sanqi could only smile awkwardly and said:
"It's good to be able to fly, it's good to be able to fly, haha."

Huang Jinpeng could also see Lin Sanqi's reluctance, so he changed the subject:
"Come on, Director Lin, we have prepared a Xinzhou plane and will take you for a flight today."

Lin Sanqi swallowed and thought, does he have to take this plane today?

The general manager Yan Guixiang beside him also knew the concerns of the southern boss and comforted him with a smile:
"Don't worry, Director Lin. We know our own plane. Director Huang and I will personally accompany you to fly into the sky today."

Lin Sanqi thought to himself, the CEO of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group is really courageous. Such a high-ranking cadre is working so hard, so he cannot be a coward.

"Okay, then I'll take a ride on our own domestically made plane today."

Huang Jinpeng was also happy to see Lin Sanqi being so straightforward, and he extended his hand: "Director Lin, please!"

Because it was a small plane, there was only a simple escalator at the cabin door. When Lin Sanqi got into the cabin, he saw rows of blue seats.

The cabin was very narrow and small, with only two seats on each side. The middle aisle could only accommodate one person, and Lin Sanqi, who was 180 cm tall, could only pass through by bending over.

Huang Jinpeng and Lin Sanqi sat in the last row.

Unlike other aircraft, the business class of the Xian MA60 is located in the last row at the rear of the aircraft, with one seat on each side.

The other accompanying personnel sat forward.

Section Chief Song also boarded the plane nonchalantly, and after getting on the plane, he started taking pictures curiously.

The girl Zhu Xinyue was extremely nervous and was extremely reluctant to take such a small plane, but since her boss had to get on, she was the only accompanying person in the company and it was impossible for her not to get on. Otherwise, she would be disrespecting her boss.

So she carefully sat in the second to last row, feeling that she would feel safer being closer to the boss.

"Mr. Lin, our Xianzhou 60 aircraft is generally equipped with 52 seats, but if the passenger flow is good, we can arrange up to 60 seats. It is a bit crowded, but it is mainly used for short-distance travel.

At present, there are still some domestic routes open, such as Dalian to Weihai, Yinchuan to Zhongwei, ETKQQ to Xi'an, Hanzhong to Nanchong, etc. The situation is not optimistic. "

Huang Jinpeng felt that he should tell the truth and not make money against his conscience.

If Lingnantang Group bought the planes and exported them abroad, and the planes kept malfunctioning or even crashed, the entire Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group would be embarrassed.

Unfortunately, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group has more than one product, the Xianfeng aircraft. If the reputation of other aircraft is affected, it will definitely not be worth it.

Lin Sanqi also asked a question in his mind at this time:
"Mr. Huang, regional aircraft don't need to be too big. The routes you mentioned are relatively unpopular. Apart from safety issues, what other problems caused the aircraft to be unable to fly?"

Lin Sanqi wanted to clarify the issue. He also didn't want someone from another time and space to take this plane and crash in Wulankhan, Mongolia.
After all, they are all human lives.

Huang Jinpeng continued to speak the truth:

"The main reason is the high failure rate, which leads to higher flight costs. The operating cost per seat is about 0.8 yuan per kilometer, which requires a higher passenger load factor to maintain profitability.

As you know, the current domestic situation is that short-distance travel is mainly based on high-speed rail, and private cars have entered thousands of households, resulting in lower and lower occupancy rates on regional flights, which makes costs even higher.”

Lin Sanqi thought so too.

Nowadays, most airports are built in the suburbs dozens of kilometers away. Transportation is more convenient in big cities, but taking a taxi in a small city is not only expensive, but also time-consuming. The total time spent on traveling between two airports, plus the waiting time and the flight time, is actually not cheap.

So if he were given a choice, he would rather choose the high-speed rail.

For example, when he traveled from Huadu to Changsha to purchase well-drilling equipment, it took him only two and a half hours to complete the 670-kilometer journey.

If you take a plane, it will take more than an hour to get from the city to the airport, plus the advance security check time and waiting time. By the time you get on the plane, the high-speed rail has already arrived at your destination.

So the conclusion is that high-speed rail is faster than airplanes.

While the two were still chatting, the plane had already started to taxi out of the parking space and head towards the runway.

Lin Sanqi quickly fastened his safety buckle, praying to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless him with a safe return.

After the Xian MA200 aircraft arrived at the runway, the propellers began to rotate, and the noise level in the cabin increased instantly. If you are sitting close to the propellers, your eardrums will be damaged.

The plane accelerated again and again. Lin Sanqi gripped the armrest tightly, and then a feeling of weightlessness came over him.

The plane took off.

Then Lin Sanqi discovered a terrible situation, that is, the Xinzhou aircraft not only had poor sound insulation, but also seemed to be shaking violently.

At first he thought it was air turbulence, but eventually he discovered that the shaking was continuous. He estimated that the aircraft's structural design was unreasonable or had defects, which caused the flutter phenomenon.

Section Chief Song, who was sitting in the front row, joked in a hoarse voice:
"Damn it, Lao Huang and Lao Yan, they all said that the Xinzhou aircraft is an aerial tractor. Now that I have experienced it, it is indeed not groundless."

When the people from Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group heard this, they all looked embarrassed.

The young secretary Zhu Xinyue was actually so scared at this time that her face changed and she looked back at her boss pitifully with an expression of pity.

Lin Sanqi reached out and touched her head, comforting her:

"Don't worry, we must have confidence in our domestically produced aircraft. If you don't support it and I don't support it, when will our domestically produced aircraft be able to catch up with the world's advanced level?"

When Huang Jinpeng heard this, he slapped his thigh in appreciation:
“Mr. Lin is absolutely right. We in the aviation industry have actually been working hard to catch up with the world’s most advanced technology.

From being extremely poor in the 1960s and 1970s to being able to produce large aircraft domestically today, this progress is actually enormous.

Therefore, we sincerely hope that entrepreneurs like Mr. Lin can support our domestically produced aircraft and give us more opportunities.

This way we will have enough financial resources to carry out research and development, and there is hope that we will surpass Europe and the United States in the future."

Others may not feel deeply about this.

But Lin Sanqi traveled back to the 1960s, and was deeply touched by Huang Jinpeng's words.

What about the sixties?

It was thanks to the Soviet Union's assistance that we had some aviation foundation, and they actually sold us spare parts. We assembled them ourselves and changed the model to make it a domestic product.

Even when the NS naval battle took place in the late 7s, our J-8 and J- had insufficient endurance and were unable to support the front line, so we could only worry.

The opponent's Su-22 fighter jets were closer and could fly to us. The warships were used against the fighter jets, which caused us to suffer a great loss.

It was the problems exposed in this battle that prompted our country to accelerate the pace of military modernization.

The aerial refueling aircraft project was immediately launched, and advanced fighter jets such as the J-10 were developed, which significantly improved the combat capability and endurance of the Air Force.

These improvement measures have gradually enabled our country to gain air superiority in NH and enhanced the country's overall defense capabilities.

However, increasing national defense strength cannot be achieved by just talking about it, it requires real investment of money.

Especially now that the market is under development, how to make money by selling aircraft and solve the problem of scientific research funding is the biggest challenge facing all aerospace companies.

After circling in the sky for half an hour, the Xianyang plane landed again at the West Airport.

On the plane, Lin Sanqi also entered the cockpit to take a look, and the engineers and pilots of Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation introduced the various parameters of the aircraft in detail.

But Lin Sanqi was just a layman, so how could he understand? The only thing he knew was how much he had to pay to buy one.
After buying the Xianzhou aircraft, can we give him a few J-10s? If that doesn't work, we can give him a J-7. (End of this chapter)
