The next day.
Director Ding pulled the entire crew and rushed into the shooting mission.
Director Ding was the most popular sci-fi film director in China and enjoyed a certain reputation even internationally. The lead actress of this promotional film, Xu Ninggong, was also a big star. So, as soon as the film crew arrived at the headquarters airport, more than half of the employees at the headquarters of the airline company went to watch the shooting scene after work.
Xu Ninggong was beautiful, but many people talked about it with relish after they came back. Among the group of little actors, there was one who was particularly beautiful and attractive.
Her name was Wen Miaotong.
The employees said that this girl did not have any star arrogance, and her temperament was not as arrogant as other little actors. She had a kind of girl-next-door feeling.
Ye Qing did not join in the fun. Today was a rare sunny day. Early in the morning, Ye Qing rushed to Qiantang Town, which was dozens of kilometers away from the headquarters airport.
Qiantang Town had a population of tens of thousands. This town mainly produced plush toys. But now there was a driving school on the edge of this town.
It was not a driving school for learning to drive and getting a driver's license, but an aviation driving school invested in and built by Monster Industries.
Now, this driving school had begun to take shape.
The metal signboard of [Skynet Aviation Driving School] had been hung, and a two-meter-high concrete brick wall had been built around the driving school, which covered an area of more than 200 acres. In the courtyard, in addition to a large area of hardened concrete ground, there was also a steel structure hangar that could accommodate 100 family version of exquisite aircraft and two Banshee aircraft.
Teaching building, simulation training building, student dormitory cafeteria, these were the basic configurations.
In addition to these, the aviation driving school was also equipped with a small substation for aircraft charging.
Ye Qing did not come alone. Behind his car, there was a huge motorcade that almost couldn't see the end of. These fleets were all dragging flatbed trailers, and each trailer was loaded with a mini aircraft that was tightly wrapped in waterproof tarpaulin.
— — Nighthawk aircraft.
This was the name Ye Qing gave to the family version of the exquisite aircraft.
Compared to the industrial version of the Banshee, the Nighthawk aircraft was weaker in terms of load and range. But it was faster, more flexible, and more mobile.
After improving the turbofan thruster and body material, the Nighthawk aircraft could reach 800 kilometers per hour. In addition, it could carry a pilot, four passengers, and several hundred kilograms of luggage.
It was about the size of two family cars, with four turbofan propellers mounted in the fuselage. Anyone who saw it would have liked it immensely.
The fleet of vehicles roared into the aviation driving school. With the help of the loaders, the workers quickly placed the Nighthawks into the special hangar.
There were fifty of them in total, and all of them were painted red.
The current person in charge of the aviation driving school was called Lang Peng. He was 51 years old this year and used to be the vice president of the Aviation Helicopter Pilot Training Base. He had a well-thought-out plan for the aviation pilot training process. Now, he had been recruited by Chang Wanyu to be the principal of the Skynet Driving School.
The reason why Lang Peng came to work here was very simple. Chang Wanyu gave him a salary that he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Of course, Lang Peng had heard of the famous Monster Industries. Lang Peng also knew that Monster Industries had established Skynet Airlines.
However, at first, he didn't think that when Monster Industries wanted to establish an aviation driving school on a whim and used the slogan of mass-producing pilots within half a year, it was a reliable development plan.
Lang Peng knew that it was not easy to train a pilot. Not to mention the entire Hua Xia, even in the entire Asia, there was not a qualified pilot training school for commercial airliners. Of course, Monster Industries had the financial resources to do it, but they had obviously estimated the difficulty of establishing an aviation driving school.
Of course, to establish an aviation driving school, there had to be a training plane.
If they used the Banshee aircraft as a training plane, the cost of training a pilot would probably be comparable to that of an astronaut.
The simulator was only suitable for old pilots who had already obtained a commercial driver's license. If they wanted to mass-produce hundreds of pilots at once, they would need to prepare at least 30 training planes. There were a lot of training planes, and only helicopters were the most suitable for simulating the flight characteristics of the Banshee aircraft.
After buying the helicopter, they would also need to invest money and technology to modify the cockpit and transfer the operation method of the Banshee aircraft. The most conservative estimate was that it would take two to three years.
In the end …
In the end, before the aviation driving school was completely built, the young CEO today pulled a fleet of aircraft to the aviation driving school.
When the waterproof raincoat was removed, Lang Peng felt his soul tremble.
The aircraft in front of him was a model he had never seen before in his life. It could be described as a mini version of the Banshee, or as a magically modified version of a helicopter 30 years later.
In any case, this kind of aircraft, which was said to be able to reach 800 kilometers per hour and 13,000 feet per hour, would not appear in real society.
Lang Peng himself had a helicopter driver's license. Fifteen years ago, he was a helicopter pilot in the aviation forces.
"Ye … Mr. Ye, you said that you want to put this aircraft in the aviation driving school as a training plane?"
"What's wrong? The Nighthawk aircraft only costs a few hundred yuan per flight. Isn't it very suitable to be used as a training plane?"
Lang Peng wiped the sweat from his nervous and excited face. "Mr. Ye, if the performance of the Nighthawk aircraft is as described in the data, then all the helicopters in the world are nothing compared to it."
"You want to use it as a training plane?"
"It should be the perfect replacement for the next generation of armed helicopters on the battlefield."
"The military really does have this idea." Ye Qing patted Lang Peng's shoulder and said with a smile, "I don't know if it can replace the armed helicopters, but it's definitely most suitable as a training plane."
"Send 50 of them first, and another 50 will be sent next week."
"Principal Lang Peng, I've prepared the best hardware for you. Are you confident that you can train the first batch of pilots in four months? "
"If we recruit fresh graduates from society, then the training time will definitely not be enough. Just the theory alone will take half a year." Lang Peng continued to wipe his sweat and said carefully, "But we can recruit students from all the major aviation driving schools first. These students will specialize in ground handling, air traffic control, or flight attendants. These students will already have enough theoretical foundation. "
"They will only fly the Banshee aircraft in the country. I think four months should not be a problem."
"But you have to give me the authority."
Ye Qing asked in confusion, "What authority?"
"The authority to eliminate the rate of elimination." Lang Peng said seriously, "Four months for a batch is too tight. The students may spend all their energy on learning, just like before the college entrance examination. But just knowing how to endure hardships is not enough. Whether they can become a pilot or not depends on whether God will give them a chance. "
"I want 40% of the elimination authority. Only then can I guarantee that all the pilots who finish training will be qualified commercial pilots."
Training pilots was not like training pilots in driving schools. If they did not pass the test, the next batch could continue to take the test for free.
The training of a pilot would require a conservative investment of two million yuan.
The higher the elimination authority, the higher the percentage of the investment that would go down the drain.
40%. Even if he did not spend two million yuan on this student, he would still lose two to three hundred million yuan in one semester.
Lang Peng was also going all out and was prepared to bargain with this young CEO.
"Just this?"
"Look at how nervous you are." Ye Qing waved his hand and did not pay attention to this at all. "40% is not a lot. I've checked the information before. It's said that even for civil aviation pilots, most of them will be eliminated just by the physical examination during the selection. After that, there is also a 20% elimination rate in the flight training. "
"The purpose of the establishment of Skynet Aviation is to train our own Banshee aircraft pilots, so it's better to go without than to be substandard."
"You have to know that if it weren't for civil aviation and the three major national airlines not allowing it, we wouldn't have to establish a flight school at all."
"We can just spend money and poach their pilots."
"Unfortunately, some things can't be solved with money."
"Otherwise …"
