Chapter 895 Delivery of Y-13

The Lantern Festival has just passed.

At this time, good news came that the domestic regional aircraft ‘Yun 13’ officially obtained the airworthiness certificate.

After a series of tests over the years, the ‘Yun 13’ has proved its excellent performance and safety, stability and reliability, and finally passed all the reviews of the relevant departments, and then the ‘Yun 13’ airworthiness certificate was issued.

At present, China’s regional aircraft include Yun 7 and Yun 8, but the foundation of these two aircraft is there, and they are far from being comparable to the ‘Yun 13’.

There are three models of ‘Yun 13’, namely ‘Yun 13A’, ‘Yun 13B’, and Yun ‘13C’.

Yun 13A is a medium- and short-range turbofan regional aircraft with 70 to 110 seats, specially used for civil aviation airlines, mainly used for passenger transportation between large cities and small and medium-sized cities, and can also be supplemented as passenger transportation between large cities, but it is almost not used for international transportation, especially intercontinental flights. The maximum range of the aircraft is 3,700 kilometers

Yun 13B is a civil aviation cargo aircraft, specially used for carrying goods. The maximum range of the aircraft is 3,700 kilometers.

Yun-13C, a business jet, has a range of 5,500 kilometers after increasing the fuel tank. Business jets can meet the seating layout of 12 to 29 seats, and can flexibly arrange relatively independent functional areas such as VIP bedrooms, rest areas, conference areas, reception rooms, and dining areas according to the personalized needs of customers.

This ceremony was specially held by Guizhou Aircraft Group. After all, it can be said that this is world-renowned and it is not easy for China.

Because China does not have much to show for passenger aircraft.

Although the Yun-13 is a regional aircraft, not a trunk aircraft, it is a good sign and a product that China can produce next.

Unlike the launching ceremony of the Type 001 light aircraft carrier, which was delayed for a week, CCTV directly broadcast the entire ceremony live and it will also be on the seven o'clock news of the day.

Liu Tao came to Guizhou Aircraft Group very early.

Although the Yun-13 in front of him was assembled by Xi'an Aircraft, it belongs to Guizhou Aircraft. The ceremony of delivery to Southwest Airlines must naturally be held at Guizhou Aircraft Group.

On the runway, all the original military aircraft were put into the hangar.

Now the airport is very large, with both civil and military use, and no interference.

The delivery ceremony was very festive, and a Y-13 passenger plane was blocked behind the scenes.

Above the red curtain, there was a huge banner with a line of large characters on it: the project is very important - the delivery ceremony of the Y-13 trunk passenger plane!

The leaders arrived, and the delivery ceremony officially began.

The host of the offline ceremony was the famous CCTV host ‘Ni Ping’, who is also the most popular female host among the people of the country.

The development of advanced regional aircraft naturally made everyone present proud, and everyone’s face was filled with smiles.

At the same time, the live broadcast room of CCTV was the famous host ‘Zhao Zhongxiang’ and three guests.

Ni Ping came to the temporary stage and began to host with emotion, first introducing the leaders present today and the development team.

Ma Fengshan was wearing a brand new dress. He usually couldn't afford to buy clothes. Even if he bought new clothes, he would only wear them when he arrived in China. But today, for the delivery ceremony of the Y-13, Ma Fengshan specially bought a dress.

Others were also wearing new clothes, and they were all very excited.

For China to have its own passenger plane, they have given everything.

Crossing the river step by step by feeling the stones.

In the past, the off-line ceremony was not held because it did not obtain the airworthiness certificate and was a prototype, which was used internally by Panshan Group.

But today, a special ceremony was held for the official delivery.

First of all, the leaders reviewed the history of China's pursuit of its own passenger plane. This is an extremely bumpy and tortuous road. Today, China finally has its own advanced passenger plane, even if it is only a regional passenger plane, but the meaning is different.

The leaders praised the perseverance of the research and development team and overcame many difficulties to achieve today's fruitful results.

To be honest, if it were not for the special period, it would take at least two more years for the Y-13 passenger plane to be officially delivered.

Then there were speeches by Guizhou Aircraft Group, Southwest Airlines, Ma Fengshan, etc.

Liu Tao did not make a speech, he gave the honor to Ma Fengshan.

When it was almost 11 o'clock, the host Ni Ping could not hide his excitement and said: "Dear guests, gentlemen, ladies, you see, behind me, covered by the curtain is our Y-13 passenger plane. Now we ask the leaders to open the curtain for us and let the Y-13 passenger plane show its true appearance!"

The leader came to the left, Ma Fengshan came to the right, and asked people to press the button at the same time, and the red curtain suddenly opened to both sides.

All of a sudden, the Y-13 passenger plane showed its true appearance, and cheers and applause rang out at the scene.

Everyone is proud of the domestic passenger plane, because the Y-13 passenger plane is independently designed and developed by China, and it has reached the world's first-class level among regional passenger planes, and the Y-13 passenger plane has a beautiful appearance.

The tail, wings, and fuselage of the Y-13 passenger plane are all spewing important standards, and the "Southwest Airlines" on the fuselage is very clear.

Next, it was the static experience session. Everyone boarded the plane and saw the situation in the cabin.

Ma Fengshan was interviewed by Ni Ping. Today, Ma Fengshan's face was flushed, and he was very excited.

It has been 25 years since he was appointed as the chief engineer of Yun 10, and he now has a head full of white hair.

Although this is a Y-13 regional passenger aircraft rather than a mainline aircraft like the Y-10, it is also a milestone for the Chinese aviation industry.

"Commander Ma, what is our current order volume for the 13-passenger aircraft?" Ni Ping asked.

Ma Fengshan said: "Many, very many. Now we have 250 domestic orders and hundreds of overseas orders. We can't produce them. We can't produce them at all!"

"In the next ten years, we will deliver more than 500 Y-13 aircraft to customers, with a total value of US$12.5 billion, which is almost equivalent to 50 billion yuan!" Ma Fengshan introduced.

In the current international market, the price of mainline passenger aircraft is between 15 million and 30 million US dollars, and the mainline passenger aircraft carrying 13 passenger aircraft is generally 25 million to 30 million US dollars.

This refers to the price of a new machine.

The price of the Y-13 passenger aircraft is US$25 million, which is approximately RMB 100 million. This price is very competitive.

Of course, this also depends on the situation. If the customer has higher requirements, the price will naturally be higher.

As for airplanes, they are high value-added commodities.

China now costs an average of US$35 million to import an airplane, and only US$5 to export a pair of shoes. China has to export 7 million pairs of shoes in exchange for an airplane.

Producing shoes, clothes, socks, etc., these are hard-earned money. Naturally, Huaxia will do it if it can make money, but it also hopes to make more money, and airplanes are one of them. As long as it sells such a Y-13 passenger plane, it can Earning almost 20 million U.S. dollars, and the number of jobs it creates is amazing.

Because an aircraft involves many precision parts, the profits of these precision parts will also be very high.
