The Ministry didn't expect that Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation would come up with so many models all at once, and the price would be next. As long as it could make money, the Ministry didn't have much opinion.
The problem is that in addition to the y6 provided to the air force, other plateau hawk models are still in the development stage. The plateau hawk models a and B are all modified according to the elimination plan before y6. When y6 began to be delivered, Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation had already transported the prototype a and B to the grain aircraft test center and started to test various ground systems And the static test of the main structure.
If Nepal wants to see it, it's not a big problem. Just go to the aircraft test center.
The key is that the most advanced highland hawk C-100 was also brought out by Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, which made the main leaders of the Ministry hesitant for any reason.
Because the domestic model name of this plateau Eagle C-100 is Yun 6a-100, which is not only a pure military model, but also a customized military model for senior executives. It is called government business aircraft in the international popular name.
The reason why yun-6 has such a high-end sub model is that it has received many visiting leaders in the process of carrying out the disaster relief mission in the southern Tibetan area.
Without exception, they will enter the cockpit of yun-6 to experience it. Even some air force officers will feel itchy and sit in the co pilot's position to cooperate with the chief pilot to fly to the sky to experience the specific performance of yun-6.
You should know that except for the fixed landing gear, almost all the indicators of the air force's transport 6 are top equipped, although the cockpit is not equipped with business aircraft kits because it has to transport goods, which makes it like a clean water room, not very impressive.
However, the comfortable environment and excellent performance inside are highly praised by leaders at all levels. In particular, several leaders of the air force not only gave yun-6 a very high evaluation, but also reported to their superiors that yun-6 has the potential to be a government business aircraft.
The higher authorities attached great importance to the report from the air force. We should know that in the mid-1980s, the domestic air transport platforms were in the transition period from the old to the new, and the old aircraft models imported from the Soviet Union were gradually aging; the new aircraft models imported from European and American aviation giants had not been fully launched due to capital, technology, talent and other reasons.
The civil aviation system is still better. The transport planes supported by the air force and the imported Boeing 737 and Airbus A300 have set up a shelf for air passenger and cargo transport.
However, at the government level, air transport is a bit awkward. Those who visit abroad will change their special approval of civil aviation aircraft to special ones, but they do not have such treatment at home.
Therefore, the general leaders usually travel by special train, and only a few of them take the crude transport aircraft of the air force.
General things are OK, but in case of emergency, the special train will be too slow. The Air Force transport plane not only has poor environment and low safety factor, but also has troublesome procedures for applying for civil aviation special plane. Moreover, the operating cost of large airliner is too high, which is very uneconomic.
Because of this, a small, comfortable, safe and fast business aircraft has become the equipment urgently needed by several domestic emergency departments.
Originally, several departments in China were going to purchase goods from abroad jointly, but when asked, that's the entry price of four or five million US dollars. If you want to install some confidential communications and meet the needs of Chinese people, the price will have to be doubled.
That's all. The key is that the annual maintenance cost is still very high. Besides, other manufacturers don't come to China for on-site service. Every year, you have to fly to the manufacturer's place for maintenance.
Under such conditions, several departments naturally have no choice but to refuse, and the matter will be settled.
I thought this was the case, and there was no room for maneuver. Unexpectedly, a disaster relief operation in the southern Tibetan area suddenly made them find an excellent imported substitute.
Yun-6 is not only comfortable, but also has a voyage of more than 2000 kilometers. The key is that yun-6 has shown a good intact rate and attendance rate in the practice of disaster relief in the southern Tibetan area. In more than half a month, there has been no safety failure affecting the flight, which proves that yun-6 is extremely safe.
Long range, comfort and high safety. The most important thing is that this aircraft is made in our own country, with low procurement cost and later maintenance cost. Besides, the refitting of all kinds of confidential communications and equipment will be much easier to use without faking other people's hands.
The only drawback is that the speed of yun-6 is a little low. If it can be increased to 400 km, it will be more perfect.
With this idea, several emergency departments in need jointly formed an investigation team and went to Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation for investigation. During the investigation, they disclosed their ideas to Zhuang Jianye and other accompanying personnel of Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation.
Zhuang Jianye really didn't expect such a good thing to come. It's a proper government procurement, a big business.
If you don't swallow it, you will feel sorry for your 100 Jin meat, so you clap your chest and promise: "the United States, the Soviet Union, France and the United Kingdom all have their own aircraft to undertake the task of transporting government officials in government departments. Although our country has a gap, it doesn't mean that we can't do it. Please rest assured that we, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, will take this responsibility Carry it, and let our own government business aircraft soar in the blue sky of our motherland as soon as possible. "In this way, the government business jet sub model of Yun 6a-100 based on Yun 6 was officially approved.
Although the leaders of the ministries and commissions know that Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation is full of money diggers, they didn't expect to make such bold progress. Although Yun 6a-100 is called government business plane, a large part of it will be used as the special plane of leaders at all levels.
The leaders of the ministries and commissions really don't know what to do when it comes to the chief executive.
So, while pressing C-100, the waistcoat model of Yun 6a-100, a report was drafted to the superior to ask whether the C-100 pair of Yun 6a-100 waistcoat model of plateau hawk could be sold out.
The head of the headquarters who received the report only glanced at it and approved the five words "according to international practice".
What is the international practice? Of course, it depends on what the aviation powers like the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union do. Without saying a word, the local leaders put the main recommended models of highland Eagle C-100 at the front, so as to give Nepalese a key introduction. There is no way. The business aircraft sales in the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union are fierce, and the profits are high. Since the superior leaders have no opinion, Naturally, the Ministry will not have a problem with small money.
As a result, the Ministry completely broke free from its shackles and completely released itself. Nepal was a little overwhelmed. It was really dazzled by many aircraft models and didn't know which one to choose.
