After having lunch at the fishing ground, Asik invited Qin Shiou to go with him to the Aerospace City Company's station to inspect the aircraft.
Qin Shiou wanted to take Winnie with him. After all, the stewardess was a senior flight attendant and should know a lot about airplanes.
He called, and Winnie said that she was taking the girls to play in Gramona National Park and would not go to see the airplanes. She only knew about fixed-wing airplanes. Qin Shiou wanted to buy a fixed-wing aircraft but had already chosen a model. This time she chose a helicopter, so she couldn't help.
In this way, Qin Shiou took Auerbach, Huzi and Leopard on the plane and flew directly to Montreal.
The advantage of having a private jet is this, it is very free, and the owner can do whatever he says. You cannot take pets with you on civil aviation, but it does not matter on a private jet.
Asik adjusted the curvature of the lounge chair for the tiger and the leopard so that they could lie on it comfortably, and then put snacks and milk on it. The service made the owner Qin Shiou feel embarrassed.
Montreal is a city located in southwestern Quebec. It is the largest city in Quebec, the second largest city in Canada and the fifteenth largest city in North America. It is not far from St. John's, only 700 kilometers away.
This city was once the economic capital of Canada, with the largest population and the most developed economy. Although it has lost its status as an economic leader, it is still one of the most important economic centers in Canada. The aviation industry, finance, design, film industry and other industries are particularly developed here. There are many large companies. This can be seen when entering the city center. Heavy traffic.
After arriving in Montreal, Asik arranged for Qin Shiou to stay in a five-star hotel located on the banks of the Lachin River. When you open the window, you can see the beautiful and clean river, and the scenery is pleasant.
Asik asked Qin Shiou if he wanted to rest. After receiving a negative answer, he drove the two of them and the dog to the headquarters of Space City.
Buying an airplane is not like buying a car. You can view them one by one. The airplanes are too big and take up too much space, and the unit price is too high. The space city has its own parking area, but there are only less than 20 fixed-wing aircraft and more than 40 parked there. helicopter.
In fact, for most aircraft, after customers place an order, they contact the manufacturer for production.
Qin Shiou came to the Space City because they happened to have an existing Air Tractor AT-802C aircraft. In addition, there were a large number of helicopters, so Qin Shiou could visit it on site.
After arriving at the tarmac, Asik led Qin Shiou straight to the AT-802c. The bare metal price of this aircraft is 644,000 and can be modified. On the way, he introduced to Qin Shiou: "Your country's Beidahuang General Aviation Company just purchased six This aircraft is an AT-802F, mainly responsible for forest fire fighting, and the total price is US$4.8 million."
Qin Shiou clicked his tongue and asked, "Just by converting it into a fire extinguisher, the price has increased so much?"
The average price of an AT-802F is US$800,000, which is close to one million Canadian dollars. This price is not cheap.
Asik smiled and said: "That's not the case. The at-802f modified aircraft only costs 680,000 yuan in Canada, but the tariff when sold to your country is relatively high, which is why the price is so high."
Hearing what Asik said, Qin Shiou understood that in order to protect its independent property rights, China has raised tariffs on luxury goods such as cars, airplanes, and yachts very high. This can be seen from the purchase of imported cars.
Entering the tarmac, Qin Shiou saw a series of mighty aircraft. Asik introduced to him: "Most of these aircraft have been booked by customers, otherwise we would not dare to let them park outside. The maintenance of the aircraft The fee is too expensive, basically it can be calculated as 1% of the aircraft value per day.¡±
The AT-802c is very conspicuous. It can be seen from the distant Qin Shiou. Its appearance is yellow, which is rare among airplanes. Its size is similar to that of the P-750: four meters in height, more than ten meters in length, and its wingspan is much wider, close to two meters. Ten meters away.
Arriving in front of the AT-802C, Asik asked him to go up and take a look, and then introduced the correlation coefficient: it uses a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67F turboprop engine with a full 1,350 horsepower, and a cruising speed of 356 kilometers per hour, which is fast enough. It can fly 1,289 kilometers in one full flight, climb 7,620 meters, etc.
In terms of standard configuration, the AT-802c uses a traditional landing gear with two main wheels and a tail wheel. The aircraft is equipped with wipaire-10000 amphibious buoys, allowing it to land on non-professional runways or even on water.
This is very important to Qin Shiou, because he does not have an airport. If the AT-802c can land on the sea, then it will be enough to build a hard runway on the beach.
This is thanks to the original design intention of the AT-802. It was originally designed to extinguish forest fires, so in order to get water faster, the aircraft needs to be able to land directly.On the river, this is now cheaper for Qin Shiou.
After feeling the power and domineering power of the aerial tractor, Qin Shiou made the decision to purchase the aircraft, but to convert it into an agricultural machine that can spray pesticides and seeds would cost an additional US$40,000.
In addition, Asik was very considerate and helped Qin Shiou modify another thing, which was the machine gun mount: "As long as you find a way to buy a civilian version of an M60 or M249, you can hang it and sweep the world."
"Can I add rocket nests or missiles?"
"It's possible, but we can't get the approval documents, and I don't think you can get rockets and missiles either."
¡°It¡¯s just a joke, haha, but it¡¯s best to install an infrared autonomous identification radar on me. You know, I have to cruise my fishing grounds every day. The ocean area is too big, and it¡¯s not enough to see it with my eyes.¡±
"No problem, for an additional 28,000 yuan, the SS-PD2 civilian autonomous identification radar produced by Boeing can work 24 hours a day."
?Purchasing an agricultural aircraft is easy because the model has been selected in advance. The next step is to purchase a cruise helicopter.
Although Qin Shiou said that the AT-802c should be equipped with radar for fishing ground patrol, in fact he generally does not fly this aircraft. The empty weight of this guy is close to three tons, which is simply a big killer that burns oil. He needs a light, Fast little plane.
After understanding Qin Shiou's needs and uses, Asik said: "Then you can just buy a single-engine helicopter. There is no need for multi-engine helicopters. The price gap between the two parties is huge."
Single-engine helicopters have only one rotor, while multi-engine helicopters naturally have multiples. The price gap between the two sides is indeed very large. Many single-engine helicopters are less than 1 million Canadian dollars, such as h2s, helisportch-7, an-2enara, etc.
???????????????????????????????????: There are almost no multi-engine helicopters that cost less than five million Canadian dollars, and even tens of millions of dollars, which is almost comparable to the price of multi-engine fixed-wing aircraft.
Asik brought him to an exquisite single-engine small helicopter and introduced: "The Safari helicopter, nicknamed Baby Beauty, is an aircraft independently developed by Canada. It has the same space as the Bell-47, the same speed, and the price is only 200,000. Canadian dollar."
"Where's the Bell-47?" Qin Shiou asked. This aircraft is a classic among helicopters, comparable to an AK in a gun. It has been a best-seller for seventy years since its birth. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
