The gravity of the North naturally had its advantages.
For example, their engine technology could be super silent.
This was an advantage that other manufacturers didn't have.
There was also the price of the plane. Compared to the giants in the aviation industry, Northern Gravity's products were cheap and good.
Just then, Felwood Scoe brought two more people over.
"Ha … Mr. Chen, what are you talking about?" one of them asked.
"You are?" Chen Zhao wasn't surprised that they knew him.
After all, they were all rich people. There were many rich people in America, but not many were as rich as Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao had attended a few rich gatherings and occasionally met some people at the gatherings.
Basically, he would look up and then forget about them.
"Did you forget about Ms. Zola's party last time?"
"Oh … Mr. Liduoma, hello. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you immediately."
"Are you talking about planes? Do you mind if we join? "Liduoma asked, smiling.
Bingale was naturally unhappy, but he couldn't do anything about it.
After all, he wasn't the owner or the main character of the night.
"Mr. Liduoma, do you know about planes too?"
"I'm a private plane agent." Liduoma smiled at him. "You can buy planes from all manufacturers, including Mr. Bingale's Northern Gravity products."
"Then Mr. Liduoma must know a lot about planes too."
"Not really. I'm only familiar with them. If you're talking about research, it's Professor Singat beside me. He's an expert in aerodynamics and mechanics. He's also my professional consultant."
Liduoma had clearly come prepared. He'd even brought an expert.
"So if I tell you the functions and uses that I need, will Professor Singat be able to tell me the one that suits me the best?"
"Everyone has their own opinions. I can't say that my answer is correct. I can only use my professional knowledge and personal opinion to recommend the most suitable one for you, Mr. Chen." As expected of an academic, Singat was very careful with his words.
"Mr. Chen, why don't you try?"
"Okay, what I need is a spacious plane that can allow my family and even my pets to move around. At the same time, there must be enough space for me to rest, eat, and even take a shower on the plane without feeling cramped. I hope that what I can do in my villa can also be done on the plane."
"What's the price?" Professor Singat asked.
"The budget is around $500 million, but if there's a better choice, the price can be adjusted."
"Mr. Chen, 500 million US dollars is enough to buy two C-17 cargo planes. Of course, the C-17 cargo plane is not suitable to be used as a private plane. Although the C-17 cargo plane has excellent long-distance flight capabilities, load capacity, and internal space, the loud engine noise makes even the crew have to wear soundproof headphones, so it's very difficult to use it as a private plane. Mr. Chen, what you want is a palace in the sky, so there are still a few large planes that meet your requirements. For example, the Boeing 747-8. This plane's most famous advertisement is that it's the flying car of the President of the United States. Another example is the Airbus A-380 and A-321, which are typical palaces in the sky."
"So what are the advantages and disadvantages of the three you mentioned?"
"First of all, in terms of price, the A-321 was developed and produced 20 years ago. Twenty years is the time when the aviation industry is changing, so the price is relatively affordable. The price of a bare plane is between $110 million to $120 million. Secondly, the Boeing 747-8 exists as the opposite of the Airbus A-380. This is a competition between the two civil aviation giants, so the price and performance of the two can be compared in all aspects. It's also the most representative large civil aircraft of this era …"
The more Professor Singat said, the angrier Lang's face became.
But it was difficult for him to refute because Professor Singat didn't mention his product at all.
And that was the most embarrassing thing about Bingerly Lang.
"The price of the Boeing 747-8 is around $350 million, while the Airbus A-380 is close to $450 million. In terms of price, the Boeing 747-8 is naturally more affordable, but the Airbus A-380 is actually better in this aspect. In terms of range, interior space, noise, flying speed, and even fuel consumption, the Airbus A-380 is undoubtedly the top technology. The Boeing 747-8 is actually an upgraded version of the old 747. There's no leap in technology, just optimization."
"Mr. Chen, your plane can't be changed every two years. It will be used for the next 20 years or even longer. After 20 years, you won't still be using technology from 40 years ago, right?" Chen Zhao nodded in agreement.
Chen Zhao nodded in agreement. Just then, Bingo Lang could not help but say, "Our S-10 is also a new generation of technology and model."
Professor Singat raised his hand and waved. "We're about to talk about the S-10. Mr. Lang, please calm down."
Lang's expression didn't improve, because Professor Singat wasn't his man.
Therefore, he couldn't control what the professor said.
"S-10 super civil aircraft. Am I right?"
Bingri Lang nodded. Professor Singat continued, "As one of the few super-large commercial aircraft models in the world, the S-10 is naturally the best super-large commercial aircraft of this era. It has an internal space of nearly 3,000 square meters, almost five times that of a Boeing 747-8. If the interior is decorated, the internal space is estimated to exceed 5,000 square meters, which is already equivalent to the size of a small shopping mall. But as a super-large commercial aircraft, this kind of space is only a matter of course. It can only be regarded as a standard configuration, and in terms of maximum range and fuel consumption, the S-10 has no advantage. Next is the price. The price of the bare plane is 810 million USD, and the research and development cost is more than 20 billion USD. But so far, not a single one has been sold.
"The S-10 hasn't failed yet."
"Facts speak louder than words," Professor Singat said with a smile. Professor Singat smiled and said, "As a civilian aircraft, the S-10 is not qualified, unless Northern Gravity can find enough rich people who are willing to spend 800 million US dollars to buy it and at least 300 million US dollars to decorate it."
"Doesn't the S-10 have any advantages?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Yes, ultra-quiet technology. This is what Northern Gravity is most proud of. As we all know, the engine noise is unavoidable when taking a plane, and Northern Gravity's ultra-quiet technology is currently the most advanced. At the same time, the S-10 also has a decompression device that can stabilize the air pressure inside the fuselage within 100 meters."
