Boeing was the world's largest civilian and military aircraft manufacturer.
Boeing was not only the world's dominant aerospace company, but also a very diversified company.
It was also a major service provider for NASA and operated the International Space Station.
The company had 100,000 employees and customers in more than 90 countries around the world.
At Boeing's headquarters in Iestu, the current Boeing Executive Edward had a terrible expression as if his wife had run away with someone else.
There were many people who had the same expression as him. These people were the top management of Boeing. They sat together in the conference room, and the screen in the conference room was playing the official news of Hua Xia.
"Looking back at 2017, Boeing continued to take off."
"Last year, we released the company's latest market outlook. We predicted that in the next ten years, the scale of Hua Xia's air travel market will jump to the world's first. The number of commercial aircraft in Hua Xia will triple in 15 years. "
"We were prepared to go all out."
"But damn Monster Industries!" Edward, who had not been angry for a long time, made an exception this month. And the expert even used their Boeing 737 as an example.
He didn't just know about the Banshee aircraft. As early as two months ago, he had a channel to learn that Monster Industries might be developing an aircraft.
The Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, Apple, and Tesla.
The two big companies, as well as the two large-scale technology limited companies, had long suffered losses from the Monster Industry. Although Boeing had no business conflicts with them, they had been influenced by Boeing for a long time. How could they not be wary of this company?
As early as Tesla's research on plasma batteries, Boeing had considered the possibility of using this battery to build an aircraft.
Due to Tesla's lack of research, and the energy density of the plasma battery on the Thunderbolt car could not support the aircraft for long periods of flight, Boeing had given up on this plan.
But two months ago, several companies who had been paying attention to Monster Industries came back with news.
Monster Industries began to look for a number of aircraft parts manufacturers. Monster Industries designed the parts and commissioned these manufacturers to produce.
It was not difficult to get these parts. Then, they found that many of these parts were related to commercial aircraft.
For example, the cabin lights, emergency breathing masks, life jackets, automatic fire extinguishing equipment, and so on …
No company would order large quantities of parts that had nothing to do with the industry for no reason. When Monster Industries started to order parts for commercial airplanes, it was natural that they wanted to start manufacturing airplanes.
The news quickly spread to Boeing. Chief Executive Edward couldn't sit still and began to focus on Hua Xia on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. However, he never would have thought that Monster Industries would be able to launch this batch of aircraft into the market in just two months.
Damn it, even if they launched a new aircraft, it would take a long one to two years of testing before they could obtain a commercial airworthiness certificate.
Monster Industries took half a month …
"Boss, the most important thing now is to get a Banshee Aircraft for research."
"This isn't a Thunderbolt car that can be shipped from the sea with money. This is an innovative aircraft that is highly valued by Hua Xia's civil aviation and Air Force. Tell me, how do we do it? " Edward, whose hair was already gray, felt that he had a tendency to turn completely white in the past month.
This aircraft, from the exposed and unexposed information, had completely subverted the imagination of Edward and Boeing's senior executives.
Compared to the Banshee Aircraft, their Boeing's main 737 series was like a two-hundred-year-old musket. There was a huge gap between it and modern high-precision sniper rifles.
Hua Xia's officials had already revealed enough information in the news.
In the future, they would let the Banshee Aircraft completely replace Hua Xia's traditional commercial aviation market. This also meant that from this moment onwards.
In the world's largest aerospace market, thousands of new aircraft orders in the future would have nothing to do with Boeing.
This sign had already appeared. Two of the three domestic airlines in Hua Xia had already sent people to talk about canceling the contract for the new 737 series aircraft order in 2018. If it weren't for their biggest competitor, Airbus, who also had to face this situation, Edward would probably have the mood to jump off a building.
The most important thing was to get a Banshee Aircraft.
However, the problem was that Monster Industries was completely self-produced and did not sell to outsiders at all. If they wanted to get a commercial aircraft, the missiles of Hua Xia's Air Force would probably be the first to be unwilling.
"Boss, the layout of the Banshee Aircraft's passenger cabin and cockpit layout are easy to get. The most difficult are the two aspects of energy and engine." Another senior executive in charge of technology said with a worried face, "The core is also energy and engine."
"According to our analysis, the engine on the Banshee Aircraft is different from any traditional motor structure."
"This is very likely to be a brand-new motor that surpasses rare earth permanent magnet motors. We haven't even proposed a technical solution in the United States yet."
"If we can't get a Banshee Aircraft, where will the engine and energy technology come from?" Edward glanced at the crowd. "I think that within five years, neither Hua Xia nor Monster Industries will allow this aircraft to be exported abroad."
"Hua Xia's vast commercial aviation market is also enough to support the appetite of Monster Industries for the next few years."
"If we want to get a Banshee or the technology in the Banshee, we can't rely on Boeing alone. This requires the cooperation of many departments." Edward raised his hand and said, "Now we have reached the point where we will die slowly if we don't work hard."
"So, in order to not be blocked in the building by the employees who have to be laid off because of the decrease in orders."
"Let's act and use all the methods we can think of to get the technology of a Banshee Aircraft."
…
At nine o 'clock in the evening, Skynet Airlines' headquarters airport.
Over the dark airport, from nine o 'clock, there was an endless roar.
Banshee Aircraft flew from all over the country to the headquarters airport.
It only took a day of flight for the Banshee Aircraft to create a miracle.
Except for the first wave of flights in the morning, all the flights of the Banshee Aircraft today were 100% occupied. All the seats were filled with passengers. Whether it was the economy class or the first class class, which was more than three times the price of the ticket, they were all full.
The cabin was full. According to the news from various airports, the airport was even more full.
The problem of buying tickets during the Spring Festival had always been there. At the beginning of this year's Spring Festival, people found that there was actually another travel option.
And this kind of travel efficiency was much better than trains and planes.
Therefore, countless passengers who couldn't buy tickets squeezed into the Skynet Airlines' airport with the mentality of giving it a try. Like those large airports that had already built terminals, there were people inside and outside.
Two hundred and forty Banshee Aircraft could carry fifty-seven thousand and six hundred passengers in one trip.
But today, many of the flights of Skynet Airlines only flew once.
On the first day of operation, Skynet Airlines was mainly to familiarize its pilots with flying experience and find out the situation of the route. After all, these pilots had learned traditional aircraft piloting, and this was the first time they had touched the real Banshee Aircraft.
After this semi-test flight, the pilots generally reflected that the real Banshee Aircraft was much easier to drive than the simulator.
Sitting in the cockpit of the Banshee was easier than driving a car.
Driving a car, one had to pay attention to whether there were pedestrians or cars blocking the road. With this, as long as the aircraft entered the stratosphere, it could switch to autopilot mode.
Therefore, at night, during the summary meeting, the pilots strongly requested for more flights the next day.
Ye Qing and Chang Wanyu were both at the meeting. Ye Qing was originally prepared to say that everyone had worked hard, but this group of pilots were all in high spirits.
"Boss, I think I can fly ten flights tomorrow."
"Boss, I can fly fifteen times. At the critical time of the Spring Festival, we can't just watch the passengers not be able to go home! "
"Boss, you can squeeze me. I'm made of iron, I'm not afraid of fatigue."
The pilot's salary structure included flight hours.
For every hour of flight, domestic airlines generally gave a tip of 60 to 100.
If they didn't fly, they wouldn't have this money.
