Chapter 499

Not only Zhuang Jianye, but Lin Guanghua, Liu Chun, Qian Qiang and others were surprised.

It is not uncommon for naval aviation units to deal with air situation, because aircraft, especially civil aircraft, have an accident and need to adjust the route urgently. At this time, the aviation units need to evade properly and eliminate interference for civil aircraft to deal with their own situation.

However, it's rare to make a forced landing at a military airport. That's all. The key is whether a large wide body airliner with a take-off weight of more than 200 tons is forced landing. It's not rare, it's rare.

You should know that this naval aviation base is a typical military airport. The length of the main runway is 3200 meters. The take-off and landing of ordinary fighters and small and medium-sized military transport aircraft is no problem. However, for a big guy with a take-off weight of more than 100 tons, such as DC-10, the runway of more than 3000 meters is too short. At least it takes about 5000 meters to achieve the basic safe take-off and landing conditions.

Even so, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10, which I don't know which unit it belongs to, fell down regardless, which only shows one problem, that is, the plane suffered a very serious fault, so that it had to take the risk to make a forced landing.

"Go and have a look!"

Whether it's seeing the world or going to see the excitement, since it's such a rare situation, there's no reason not to see it? So Zhuang Jianye called, and Lin Guanghua and others rushed to the airport.

……

Hugh wood, holding the posture bar in both hands, looked at the grass not far away. His dark gray eyes had lost focus, as if his soul had been taken away. The whole person had become a walking corpse.

"God, we made it..."

At this moment, Beckman in the co pilot's seat whispered in disbelief. He immediately turned his head and looked at the stunned Hugh wood: "Captain, we've made it. We're alive."

"It's a success I survived... "

Hugh wood repeated mechanically. Even Beckman's words, he finally responded. Shaking, he released his grip on the stick, and the whole person collapsed to the driver's chair. He immediately pulled out a pendant from his neck. After opening it, he looked at the photos of his wife and daughter inside, kissing them with deep feelings, and then with a deep sigh, he moved his mouth to say what he wanted to say I didn't say a word.

Beckman understands the captain's mood very well. It's a good thing to get away from death and put it on anyone. This is true of Hugh wood and Beckman.

Even if McDonnell Douglas company's elaborate business exhibition and sales activities may have been messed up because of this incident, Beckman still doesn't feel any regret. After all, no matter how much money is spent, it's not necessary.

Unlike Hugh wood and Beckman, who are lucky to be alive at last, the 46 year old product sales director of McDonnell Douglas company in the luxury business class in the back is not so happy.

In the past, he was faced with a life and death crisis. This senior sales director, with an annual salary of 2 million US dollars, was really afraid of his own life. He was buried with the McDonnell DC-10, which came to China for exhibition. Even though he would have a rich legacy and huge commercial insurance compensation left to his family after his death, he still wanted to live. After all, there are so many people in the world The beautiful little girl is waiting for him to have a romantic encounter. If she dies, her life will be too bad.

However, after Hugh wood and Beckman made a successful crash landing on this 3200 meter run with super high operation technology and fearless courage, they suddenly found that it was better to be alive than dead.

The reason is very simple. This McDonnell Douglas DC-10 exhibition in China is likely to be completely ruined by this accident.

This is by no means good news for McDonnell Douglas, which has a sharp decline in sales volume and a serious impact on revenue performance. You should know that in recent years, the reputation of McDonnell Douglas DC-10 has dropped sharply due to several air accidents. Even if the original defects have been improved, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is just like being cursed by the devil, one accident after another.

But at this time, the global aviation industry is in a dramatic turmoil, with a major change that has not happened in decades. European Airbus has sprung up and started to step up its competition with American Airlines.

At the same time, the domestic competition in the United States has also intensified. The first one to fall is Lockheed's l1011 "Samsung" airliner. Due to operating costs, purchase prices and other reasons, it is unable to compete with other aviation enterprises, so it simply gives up the civil aircraft business and focuses on the development of military products.

Although McDonnell Douglas sniped Lockheed in the three engines, it was unable to cope with the suppression of a full range of domestic Boeing aircraft and the catch-up of European Airbus twin engines. Therefore, McDonnell Douglas is eager to expand new markets in order to stabilize its current position in the world of international civil aircraft production.

Therefore, McDonnell Douglas chose China. The main reason is that China's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, the domestic demand for civil aviation has gradually increased, and China's vast territory makes it a potential sales destination for civil aviation aircraft.

Just at this time, China began to adjust the development strategy of civil aviation aircraft, hoping to introduce foreign advanced technology and promote the development of domestic large-scale aviation platform with the mode of "market for technology" similar to automobile.Both sides took what they needed and immediately hit it off. As a result, the yun-10 project was launched, the McDonnell douglas-82 joint venture project was officially launched, and the sales plan for the first batch of 32 aircraft was soon completed.

It doesn't matter how the whole project affects China, but it's a shot in the arm for McDonnell Douglas. Since China can completely open the market to McDonnell Douglas, does it mean that other models of its own can also be sold.

So McDonnell Douglas company sent a professional market consulting company to China to do a professional market survey. The conclusion made McDonnell Douglas company happy, because according to the analysis of that professional market consulting company, in the next 10 to 15 years, the gap of China's large wide body trunk airliner will be more than 200.

The market share of more than 200 large wide body trunk airliners is more than US $40 billion in terms of US $200 million per airliner.

More than 40 billion US dollars, several times around the world, there is no such big market as China. As long as it can swallow it, what are McDonnell's fears about Airbus and Boeing? On the other hand, they're more or less afraid of McDonnell.

The McDonnell Douglas dc-10-30fg, the latest model of McDonnell Douglas, was sent to CAAC for demonstration. Although the model is still McDonnell Douglas DC-10, the overall structure of the aircraft has been greatly improved, and many technologies of MD-11 wide body airliner under development have been applied. In other words, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 has already surpassed the original model and belongs to the old model It is self-evident that the transition between DC - 10 and MD - 11 is advanced.

McDonnell Douglas's intention of choosing this model to come to China is also very simple. It's just to pave the way for MD-11 aircraft to enter the Chinese market. There's no way. McDonnell Douglas knows that its DC-10's reputation has collapsed and its sales are dismal.

So we just bet on the next generation of wide bodied airliner, but our MD-11 prototype has not been tested yet, so we sent a McDonnell dc-10-30fg with many MD-11 technologies to let Chinese customers feel the strength of the next generation of wide bodied airliner.

As a result, there was no time to show the amazing place. The McDonnell dc-10-30fg flew all the way here had a problem, and FOSS had the heart to die, so the DC-10 couldn't win a little bit? The market of more than 40 billion US dollars is gone?
