Will the dream come true? Will the future of aviation be rewritten?
On the day of the Spring Festival.
At noon, Hua Xia's official news channel spent seven or eight minutes introducing the magnificent situation of the Spring Festival to the people of the country. In order to ensure the Spring Festival, the workers who silently contributed to their posts.
Very formally, Hua Xia's famous aerospace and aeronautics academician, Lu Rongping, was invited as a commentator to conduct a ten-minute hot news discussion.
At the beginning of this discussion program, a very simple and funny graffiti was used as the opening remarks.
It was a piece of white paper torn from the exercise book. A bloated airplane without wings was drawn on it.
If there were sharp-eyed people watching this news, they would most likely recognize that this graffiti was actually a screenshot from the Skynet airline's ten-second advertising video.
This was also the graffiti that was most related to the Banshee aircraft among the dozens of graffiti.
After a few seconds, the ridiculous graffiti on the paper slowly faded and turned into a Banshee aircraft flying above the clouds.
Even though most of the netizens already knew about Skynet Airlines and the famous Banshee Flying Machine, they still didn't know about it. However, there were still a small number of people in Hua Xia who hardly went online, or because they were busy with work and working environment, they did not have the conditions to go online.
These people usually obtained news and information from traditional television media.
The appearance of the Banshee aircraft also completely ignited the emotions of this group of people.
At the same time, Hua Xia's official news also carried out more professional interpretations of the many technical advantages of the Banshee aircraft.
"Academician Lu, we can see from the screen that the biggest advantage of this Banshee aircraft is its vertical takeoff ability."
"Then can you give us a comment from a professional point of view, specifically, what is the difference between the Banshee aircraft and traditional aircraft?" In the program, the host of the program, who was dressed in a red festive formal dress, asked Academician Lu, who was sitting next to her, in a slightly amazed tone.
Academician Lu was 67 years old this year, and he was one of the leaders in the field of aircraft in Hua Xia. He had participated in most of Hua Xia's aircraft research and development work since the 1990s.
He had also served as the chief designer of two of the aircraft.
It could be said that a figure like him was able to participate in a news program interview, even if it was an official news channel.
That also meant that this interview was not just a piece of news, but also a representation of Hua Xia's official attitude.
When Academician Lu heard the question, he smiled.
"That's too much."
"In my opinion, this Banshee Aircraft has already surpassed the category of aircraft."
"From a technical point of view, the term 'aircraft' refers to an aircraft equipped with fixed wings. The wings generate upward lift with the air, allowing it to fly in the atmosphere."
"Although the Banshee aircraft is also flying in the atmosphere, its flight method has completely broken away from the wings and the traditional helicopter propellers."
"It's different from traditional planes, not only in the way it flies, but also in its ability to fly."
"Vertical take-off and landing is its biggest advantage, but in my eyes, the fact that it uses electricity as power is no less innovative than vertical take-off and landing."
Academician Lu was obviously a "Banshee fan". Of course, what the outside world didn't know was that long before the Banshee aircraft was launched on the market, the Hua Xia Air Force had already transferred a large number of aircraft experts to carry out military improvements on this aircraft.
Academician Lu was naturally an important member of the research and development team.
"Here, I will disclose some data to everyone. Last year, Hua Xia's aviation fuel consumption was 35 million tons. If the Banshee aircraft did not appear, in another two years, this number would have increased to 50 million tons. "
"Most of this fuel is used on civil aircraft. Hua Xia's crude oil is heavily dependent on imports. With the appearance of the Banshee aircraft, I hope that we can get rid of our dependence on the outside world for aviation fuel. It can also make tens of millions of tons of fuel pollution slowly disappear from Hua Xia's sky. "
"This is a strategic significance. In terms of people's livelihood, the use of electricity will also reduce the cost of flight, allowing passengers to save on travel costs."
The female host quietly waited for Academician Lu to finish his explanation, then continued to ask questions. "Academician Lu, will we all take the Banshee aircraft in the future?"
"Haha, this depends on the production capacity of Monster Industries." Academician Lu was faintly proud. "I have confidence in Monster Industries. I think it won't be long before the Banshee aircraft will play an important role in commercial transportation in Hua Xia's sky."
"With the vertical take-off and landing function, it means that the Banshee aircraft will completely get rid of its dependence on the airport."
"As long as the production capacity is higher, I personally think that in the near future, it will be as convenient and fast as riding a car. People living in areas with inconvenient transportation can also use the Banshee aircraft to conveniently and quickly connect with all the cities in the country. "
The female host asked again how much the cost of a Banshee aircraft was.
If it was too expensive, would it not be conducive to large-scale promotion?
Academician Lu smiled and said that he did not know. From a technical analysis, the transportation capacity of a Banshee aircraft was equivalent to two Boeing 737s. However, the Banshee aircraft was a completely domestic model. The cost of a Banshee aircraft would not exceed a Boeing 737.
"I believe that dreams can come true."
"I believe that the future of aviation will be completely rewritten by the Banshee aircraft and Monster Industries."
At the end of the program, Academician Lu smiled and told everyone in a firm tone.
…
After the official news of Hua Xia at noon was broadcasted, most netizens joked that Academician Lu must have been paid to appear on the program. Otherwise, why would he speak well of the Banshee aircraft?
However, in the eyes of some people who had a keen sense of smell and paid attention to political affairs.
This interview program that appeared on the official news for a total of ten minutes had extraordinary significance.
For a guest like Academician Lu to appear on the program meant that his speech could actually represent the government.
Every question of the female reporter was carefully considered by professionals.
In the seemingly casual conversation, many secrets were revealed.
In Academician Lu's chat, many of them were described in terms of individuals and dreams. However, such a technical talent who stood at the forefront of Hua Xia's aerospace industry, received the honor of an academician, and led the development of two aircraft.
Would he talk nonsense on the program?
Of course not. The dream he talked about was actually the future expectations of the civil aviation department for this aircraft.
Since there were expectations, they had to achieve this goal.
For example, Academician Lu said that he hoped that Hua Xia's aviation industry would get rid of its reliance on traditional fuel. He hoped that Hua Xia's sky would slowly reduce the pollution emitted by tens of millions of tons of fuel.
This meant that the civil aviation department already had plans to use the Banshee aircraft to replace the traditional Boeing Airbus aircraft in the future.
Academician Lu felt that in the near future, riding the Banshee aircraft would be as convenient and fast as riding a car.
This meant that the Banshee aircraft would be deployed at the county level or even the town level.
All signs had already shown that the Banshee aircraft had obtained the full support of the civil aviation department.
