Chapter 405 Super Plane
Chronos Industries Space-X factory.
On the morning of January 1, 2000, the world's largest passenger aircraft, Space-X2000, developed by the Space-X factory, made its debut and held a factory delivery ceremony!
Space-X2000 is more powerful than the previous Airbus A380. It is a four-engine, 666-seat ultra-large long-range wide-body passenger aircraft. It uses more composite materials, improved aerodynamic performance, and uses Rolls-Royce Sri Lanka's most advanced engines, advanced wings and landing gear reduce the structural weight of the aircraft, reduce fuel consumption and emissions, lower fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions per kilometer, and also reduce operating costs.
The development cost of the first Space-X2000 had risen to US$28 billion when it left the factory, and it took seven or eight years.
On this morning, Li Zetian brought his family to watch the debut of Space-X. In addition, he also invited major airlines in the world to promote Space-X2000 to them.
Space-X2000 has long attracted media attention, and there were also a lot of reporters here today.
In addition, CEOs of large aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing in the United States and Airbus in Europe also came to watch the ceremony.
"Wow, what a big plane!!"
Everyone was surprised when they saw the Big Mac at the airport.
The Boeing-747 or the Boeing-757 are already very big, but in front of the Space-X2000, they are simply dwarfed.
At this moment, the CEOs of Boeing and Airbus both looked very ugly.
Boeing's large passenger aircraft is completely overshadowed by Space-X2000. The A380 currently under development by Airbus is much inferior to Space-X2000. Even if it is developed in the future, it will only be reduced to the second best. This is inconsistent with the ambitious goals set by Airbus.
The CEO of Airbus frowned and frowned, and couldn't help but wonder to himself: "Should the A380 be redesigned and an aircraft larger than Space-X2000 be developed?!"
At present, the Airbus A380 may not be developed within a few years. During this period, the super large passenger aircraft market may be replaced by Space-X2000. Only by developing more powerful large passenger aircraft can we have sufficient competitiveness!
On the high platform, the person in charge of Space-X was introducing detailed data of X2000 to everyone.
"Due to its large size, the X2000 can reduce seat distance costs better than any other aircraft. Compared with the Boeing 747-400, the X2000 provides approximately 65% more seats and 51% more floor space, making it Wider seats, more space, and seat-mile costs are 20% to 25% lower than today’s most efficient aircraft!!!”
"Therefore, the birth of X2000 is definitely a great blessing for airlines!"
“Choosing Space-X2000 means choosing success!!!!”
The CEO of Boeing was a little confused. He couldn't compare anything with other people, but he compared it with Boeing's aircraft. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to suppress Boeing?
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the heads of major airlines were even more excited. If they purchase the X2000 super large passenger aircraft, they can obviously save costs and increase the company's profits!
After a while, the person in charge of Space-X finished his introduction and immediately announced that X2000 would take off from here soon for its maiden flight.
So, everyone moved and began to watch Space-X2000 take off.
With a huge rumbling sound, Space-X2000 flew into the sky, like a Kunpeng, huge!
"This is the real giant aircraft!"
Countless people couldn't help but sigh.
"Compared with Space-X2000, Boeing's aircraft are like little bean sprouts..."
“The X2000 is high-end and classy, and most importantly, it is domineering enough!!”
"When will X2000 be officially put into operation? I really want to sit on it and feel the feeling of dominating the world!"
…
In the leisure room, a large group of people surrounded the person in charge of Space-X and expressed their willingness to buy X2000.
A wealthy man from Saudi Arabia even expressed his desire to buy a 2000 and have it luxuriously modified.
Li Zetian couldn't help but think, this tycoon from Saudi Arabia really deserves to be a real tycoon, he is so rich! ! The unit price of Space-X2000 is US$400 million, and including luxury modifications, it costs at least US$500 million. A private jet costs at least US$500 million, and only Saudi Arabia’s tycoons can do so.
Just as Li Zetian finished thinking about it, Zhang Hao, who was standing next to him, said excitedly: "Mr. Li, I want to order an X2000, and you must give it priority to produce it for me! This aircraft is so domineering, and it will give you a lot of face when flying out!! !”
"Mr. Li, since Zhang Hao wants to buy an X2000 aircraft, let me buy one too!" Tian Shuai said with a smile.
Well, there are so many wealthy people these days.
However, Zhang Hao and Tian Shuai are both super rich with tens of billions of dollars, so buying an X2000 is no problem.
"Okay, no problem!" Li Zetian nodded, then smiled, "Haha, it's time to replace my Boeing private jet. As the boss of Space-X, how can I continue to use Boeing's aircraft? !”
"Yes, Mr. Li, only an aircraft as domineering as the X2000 is worthy of your status! When the time comes, we will all drive the X2000 to travel, and the sky will block out the sun. Oh, I am so excited just thinking about it!" Zhang Hao He smiled, his eyes twinkling as he looked forward to the future.
When Li Zetian heard this, he was immediately speechless.
How is it possible that it's still blocking out the sky and the sun? ! How many planes are needed?
However, more powerful helicarriers can be developed in the future.
The X2000 is just a super large output machine, while the Helicarrier is a fortress! This thing is a fictional aerial aircraft carrier in Marvel. It is a famous battleship of the "S.H.I.E.L.D." organization. It was originally used as the organization's combat headquarters and is also a sea, land and air amphibious combat vehicle.
The concept of the sky carrier actually appeared as early as World War II.
The German and Soviet armies once tried to install flying rotors on small aircraft carriers, but they failed due to fatal shortcomings such as poor stability, extremely slow flying speed, and extremely limited number of fighter aircraft. Therefore, the Helicarrier can only appear on the screen in the form of science fiction movies.
However, technology is developing rapidly and it will definitely be realized in the future!
…
Space-X2000 made its debut and became popular all over the world.
Many people couldn't help but exclaim, X2000 is simply a black technology product!
Well, in fact, the X2000 is larger than the Airbus A320, and the manufacturing cost is higher. It is not really a black technology.
In just one week, almost all powerful airlines around the world have inquired about the X2000 in detail from Space-X, and the number of orders has exceeded 100. Among them, Kronos Airlines under the name of Li Zetian alone contracted 60 aircraft.
Fertilizer and water do not flow to outsiders' fields, they are produced and sold by themselves, saving a lot of costs!
In the past few days, Boeing's stock price has plummeted. On the one hand, it has lost one of its largest users, and on the other hand, it is facing one of its most powerful competitors.
In addition, even Europe's Airbus is developing super-large passenger aircraft, which started in 1996 and has now taken four years.
It's clear that things are not going to be easy for Boeing in the future.
