C345 Achieving Flight Permit
For a few days, the pilot plan was set up in full swing, and the two planes were always sliding, taking off, getting close, landing and so on, and so on, and so on and so forth, and so on, and so on and so forth, and so forth, and so on and so forth. After checking the engine, they refilled the fuel and took off again. In a few days, the average flight time of the two planes had reached 70 hours. The engine was good, and the final test was the fifth fuel flight test. They had also entered the preparation stage.
The higher ups and the higher ups of the Civil Aviation Department were very concerned about Dong Chen's test flight, and they were very confident in him. This was also the reason why after Dong Chen set the test flight route. Not only did the higher ups not have any doubts, but they also closely cooperated with the relevant work. In order to ensure that there was no mistake, the entire flight was carried out along the third step of the porcelain continent. This was because the third step, which was the most economically developed region in China, was the East, South, and East regions of the entire continent. Only this region was able to meet the requirements for every 300 kilometers. There was a condition for a landing airport.
Because the entire flight was to test the 737 and 320 maximum fuel flight after the DC11 was installed, according to estimates, the maximum flight distance could be at least 5,500,000 kilometers, and the test had to be carried out according to the height and speed of the cruise. Therefore, it was impossible to keep circling above the ZhongHai. This time, the route would be from the Zhonghai to the Yanjing. Then, he would go from the Yanjing to Shen Yang and return to the Zhonghai. After that, they would fly straight to Yanjing from Zhonghai, and return to Zhonghai from Yanjing. The total distance was about 5,500 kilometers. At that time, he would have to look at the situation of the fuel. If there were enough remaining, he would circle around the ZhongHai. Until the fuel ran out.
The two planes were not flying either. Instead, they were being used by the examiners to ensure that they were fully loaded. With the simulation of the fuel consumption and the fuel flight, all the military and civilian airports on the entire route were open to Dong Chen and the other two planes. As long as Dong Chen's crew made a request. Then the aviation control department would be able to do so in the shortest time possible. Ask the nearest airport to prepare and provide the landing conditions.
After all the routes were confirmed and all the conditions were met, one morning, Zhang Yunfeng personally boarded one of the testing machines, the Boeing 737. The two planes would take off ten minutes after each other, and one would take the same route after the other. The tester also took two planes and made preparations for the test.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the planes flying west of the two airports in Zhonghai were all controlled by the air. The planes heading west and entering the port would take a detour from the southwest to the south. Dong Chen's plane was also ready to take off at seven o'clock.
The Boeing 737 took the lead and rushed into the clouds. The captain immediately adjusted the direction and flew straight towards Yanjing. The planes also kept climbing to the cruise altitude. With Boeing 737 designed to fly at a uniform speed, the Airbus A320 followed closely behind. Wherever the two planes went, they occupied the entire 11,000 meters area. All the planes that passed through this area were forced to change their altitude to clear the air for Dong Chen.
All the airports within the range of Dong Chen's test flight received instructions from the air pipes. They must ensure that the runway could be cleared within ten minutes after receiving the order. The airports all over the world did not know that Dong Chen was carrying out the most significant flight test in this century's history of civil aviation. Every time Dong Chen's plane entered a fixed airspace, all the airports in the area were forced to limit their flow, and the delays of airport flights were greatly increased. This caused all the airports to complain continuously.
At this moment, Zhang Yunfeng was sitting in the cockpit of the 737th plane. Seeing the plane steadily flying above the clouds, he couldn't help but feel excited.
After the test flight was successful, Dong Chen would repeat the same test flight schedule at least five times. After five times, as long as there were no problems, the stability and safety of the DC11 would be sufficient. At that time, Dong Chen would be the first to submit a flight permit application to the porcelain government. Then, he would announce all the test results and videos of the DC11 to the world. At that time... Perhaps the whole world would be shocked?
A country that could not even produce a second-rate aviation engine in the world suddenly... Possessing the world's top civil aviation engine, this news... Just like how the Northern Chill Country in one night possessed the world's top nuclear bomb... It was full of explosive power.
The plane flew steadily. When it arrived above the Yanjing, it turned towards the northeast of the Yanjing and flew straight to Shen Yang. After arriving at Shen Yang, it circled above him and turned back. After heading to the Yanjing, it changed direction to the southeast and flew straight to the Zhonghai.
All the airports along the way were about to collapse. They thought that there was a plane passing through the sky above them. It was understandable that there was a temporary air control, but it had only been a few hours. The new air control order was issued once again. When Dong Chen's two planes completed the flight from Zhonghai to Yanjing and then to Shen Yang, dong Chen's two planes changed direction in the sky above Zhonghai and flew straight to Yanjing once again.
All the airports from Zhonghai to Yanjing were controlled four times on this day.
When 737 completed the 5,500 km journey, the remaining fuel was shown. In order to ensure that the aircraft could safely land at the trial airport, the aircraft hovered in the sky above Zhonghai until it ran out of fuel. Only then did the plane land at the trial airport of Shang Fei.
Following closely behind, the A320 was 200 kilometers more than the original fuel course of 737, plus the fuel economy of the new engine, so this plane flew close to 280 kilometers more than 737.
As soon as the two planes landed, the entire commercial flight test airport was in an uproar. This time, this time, the fuel test flight of 737 flew out 5,800 kilometers. The A320 fuel course flew out close to 6,100 kilometers. This was enough to prove the economics of the DC11. In the entire civil aviation field, it was unprecedented.
This news was also directly relayed to the higher ups in the shortest amount of time. The higher ups were also extremely excited about the success of the DC11. They sent a series of congratulatory messages over, and the contents of the messages were all praises.
In the next five days, the entire China continent's third flight could not be peaceful. Although there were no malfunctions or abnormalities in the DC11, for the sake of safety, the next few attempts to fly were all as cautious as the first. There was no negligence at all.
After five days of flight, Zhang Yunfeng submitted the application for Dong Chen's DC11 to the government. At the same time, Dong Chen edited all the test procedures videos into a documentary that lasted two and a half hours. He authorized all media in the world to broadcast this documentary for free.
At this moment, the entire world was completely shocked by Dong Chen!
The performance of the DC11 made the people who knew about the civil aircraft engine in the world exclaim. Countless media outlets claimed that Dong Chen had brought the global civil aviation industry into a whole new realm. The news of the United States' CNN, Geely Country BBC, and other world-renowned media outlets regarding Dong Chen had never stopped, and the Boeing and Aircraft outlets had also publicly expressed their opinions. Dong Chen's DC11 was a major breakthrough in the civil aviation industry. They were also very willing to cooperate with Dong Chen as soon as possible to produce the latest, most environmental, and lowest consumption aircraft.
China's civil aviation finally knew why their flights had been delayed due to aviation regulations these few days. However, at this time, they had no time to complain and contacted Dong Chen. They asked about the approval of the appropriate flight permit and expressed that they were willing to do so after the appropriate flight permit was issued. They immediately ordered a new engine from Dong Chen and finished changing it.
In just a few days, the share prices of Puhui, general electricity, and Rolls-Royce plummeted. Because the investors knew in their hearts that Dong Chen's DC11 was excellent, just like the Dongchen Automobile. It was something that other companies could not compare with. Dong Chen's DC11 had appeared. This meant that the bankruptcy of these three companies was just around the corner.
The discussion on the DC11 on the Internet had already surpassed any other topic. The netizens all over the world were paying attention to another major breakthrough of Dong Chen. Just as the Dongchen Automobile was being produced locally in the EU, Dong Chen once again set off a new revolution in the world's industrial field. Some of the economists on Wall Street even gave an authoritative evaluation. The production capacity of the Dongchen Automobile had reached at least 50 million units in the world. After merging almost all of the joint venture production lines in China, Dong Chen obtained at least 70% of the total production capacity of General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Fiat, JPO, Land Rovers, Renault, and the Iron Dragon, as well as other famous enterprises and enterprises, which had more than 70% of the total production capacity of General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, JPO, Land Rover, Renault, and the Iron Dragon. It was equivalent to more than half of the world's total production capacity serving Dong Chen. Fifty million units was a conservative estimate. Under such circumstances. Just the estimated value of the Dongchen Automobile company alone exceeded five hundred billion US Dollar. With the success of the Dongchen Airlines engine, Dongchen's current estimated value could reach at least 65 billion USD. In addition, if Dongchen Pharmaceutical made more than 10 billion USD in annual profit and valued more than 100 billion USD. Dong Chen's market value was already double that of ExxonMovs, which was ranked in the top 500 in the world!
However, this was only the market value. One should know that Dongchen had not released even one ten-thousandth of his shares to the public. If this huge financial empire were to be announced to be listed at a certain time, then, the market value could be doubled!
The current Dong Chen was no longer just an industrial empire. What was even worse was that he had already become a financial empire. It was estimated that more than 50 million cars would be sold every year. This was an irreversible situation. In the end, he only needed time to prove... And... And now... The new engine developed by the Dongchen Aerospace Engineering had yet to go public. It already possessed unparalleled competition, and the people of the world believed it. As long as their own country gave the right flight certificate to the Dongchen Engine, as long as the international civil aviation organization gave the right flight certificate to the Dongchen Engine... Then... No aviation company could reject the Dongchen Engine. Furthermore, the Dongchen Engine... It will be their choice!
And the government's efficiency was surprisingly fast this time. Less than half a month had passed. The DC11 obtained the permit to travel within the borders of China. In other words, dong Chen's DC11 could be sold to all the airlines in the country!
After the government announced the permit for the DC11, Dong Chen immediately announced the price for the China Continental Engine. Each engine was priced at 20 million US dollars, which was about 13 million US dollars for the same engine. It was about 50% higher.
However, this 50% higher was to the airlines... First of all, Dong Chen's engine could save 40% of the fuel cost. With 737 as an example, the fuel consumption per hour was about 3 tons. The current price of aviation oil was about 1300 USD per ton, which meant... Every hour the plane flew in the sky, it would save nearly 2,000 US dollars of fuel consumption. As for the several million US dollars higher than the Dongchen Engine, within a few thousand hours of flight, with the current rate of usage of the Civil aviation aircraft, it would be able to recover the extra cost. Calculating it, it would only take less than a year or two.
The cost of fuel was only one aspect, and the cost of maintenance in the future would also be greatly reduced. The theoretical time limit given by the Dongchen Engine was six thousand to eight thousand hours, which was more than double of the normal engine. This cost was also a huge expense, and the reliability of Dong Chen's engine was very high. The failure rate was very low. If one counted all of these, it would be converted into fuel consumption. The aviation company would be able to recoup the cost of the Dongchen Engine within a year, and after that, for a longer period of time. The Dongchen Engine would continuously save them a lot of operating costs.0
The China government's efficiency was so fast that it also shook the global airlines. Including the Dongwo and the Cold Country Airlines, all the airlines in the world had already issued passenger orders to the Boeing and Airlines, and the airlines that had not yet completed their orders had put forward a request to the two companies to delay the delivery. Their requirements were very uniform, and all the passenger planes that had already made orders were produced as usual. However, the engines that were previously installed could not be delayed until the Dongchen Engine obtained a nautical permit that covered the entire world.
Airbus and Boeing immediately became nervous. There were over a thousand orders in the world that required the delivery to be delayed. This was simply forcing the two companies into a dead end. The flight contracts did not have absolute and unchangeable rules like normal purchase contracts. Due to the high individual price of the aircraft and the long production period, the airlines had the right to pay a small penalty of breach of contract. In the past, such changes would only happen in a few cases. However, if all the airlines in the world had to delay the delivery, then Boeing and aircrafts wouldn't be able to deal with it.
Who could have imagined that the already stable civil aviation field would suddenly have an abnormal monster like Dong Chen, and his appearance almost instantly broke the stability of the civil aviation field for the past few decades?
Boeing and Airbus made a joint statement about the orders that were already in production or were about to be delivered. They refused the delayed delivery request of the aircrafts because even if the aircrafts wanted to pay the full amount, boeing and Airlines did not have enough storage capacity in a short period of time to store the large airplanes that were supposed to be sent around the world. However, the airlines refused to pay for the Puhui, Universal and Rolls-Royce engines. Finally, the Boeing and Airlines and all the customers reached a consensus. After the manufacturing of the aircraft was completed, the manufacturing company would be in charge. The aircraft would be attached to another engine and sent to the client first. After that, the production company will be responsible for disassembling and transporting the engine back. The buyer and seller will pay 50% of the cost: 50%.
This solution was recognized by the world's clients, they need a plane. They also needed Dongchen's engine. It was impossible for them to withdraw the plane from the passengers or Boeing just because of Dongchen's engine. The only thing they could think of was to buy all the parts of the plane other than the engine. Then, they would wait for Dong Chen to open up the sale of the DC11 worldwide. At that time, he would buy an even more advanced engine from Dong Chen.
Not to mention, just 40% of the fuel consumption was enough to drive the aviation company crazy! At this time, who would be willing to spend money to buy the engines produced by the previous three giants?
At the same time, the Civil Aviation Administration took the lead and held a group meeting in Yanjing. In the meeting, except for the person in charge of Dong Chen, all the airlines in China were present. This time, the Civil Aviation Administration hoped that they could distribute the resources. They wanted to ensure that the domestic airlines could obtain the quota given by Dong Chen in a balanced manner. They wanted to prevent an aircraft company from appearing due to special channels. They would prioritize obtaining a large number of new engines from Dong Chen.
Zhang Yunfeng personally attended this meeting. At the beginning of the meeting. The person in charge of the Civil Aviation Administration said, "Due to Dong Chen's excellent performance in the DC11, we hope to get the DC11 before it enters the market. We need to hurry everyone to come over and try to avoid any uncontrollable situations. "
After saying that, the person said, "The so-called uncontrollable situations refer to the domestic airlines at present. The competition environment is relatively stable and fair. If Dong Chen's direction of supply is tilted at this time, after a certain airlines get a higher quota, their cost will drop. It will bring a lot of competition pressure to other airlines. "
All the managers of the airlines nodded their heads. They were also afraid that one of their companies would have a special channel. They could give priority to changing into Dong Chen's DC11, so the Civil Aviation Administration came forward to coordinate. Then, everyone could heave a sigh of relief.
After that, the person in charge of the Civil Aviation Administration asked Zhang Yunfeng, "Mr. Zhang, what kind of standard can Dong Chen's current monthly productivity reach?"
Zhang Yunfeng said lightly, "The scale of Shang Fei's production line is relatively small, even though it has undergone a lot of modifications. The current productivity is still much worse than Puhui, general use, and Rolls-Royce companies. These companies. The monthly production of all kinds of engines can reach more than 500 units. If Dong Chen were to focus on the production of DC11 now... The monthly production can reach about 200 units."
"200 units..." The person in charge of the Civil Aviation Administration thought for a moment and said, "737 units and 320 units in the country are close to 1,000 units. That is to say, yes. The person in charge of the Civil Aviation Administration said: 737 units and 320 units in the country. That is to say, the demand for DC11 is around 2,000 units. Just providing domestic demand would take about a year. Because our aviation company has at least 100 new planes joining this year. "
Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "Dong Chen will immediately invest a large amount of money to increase production capacity. It is estimated that the output this year will reach at least 3,000 units."
