However, most of them were still in the early stages of preparation and project initiation. Only a few companies, such as the previously mentioned Aerion in the United States, had entered the development and testing stage. There was still a long time before they could enter the market.
Since Chen Mo had top-notch aircraft manufacturing technology and he had needs in this area, he did not plan to build a propeller plane first. He simply started the manufacturing of a supersonic passenger plane!
At this time, Chen Mo's previous vigorous development of the Shield car showed its effects. A large number of skilled workers, technicians, technical personnel, and administrative personnel were transferred to join the Shield Aerospace Company. In addition to a large number of aerospace talents selected by Jarvis, the framework of the Shield Aerospace Company was quickly set up. After Chen Mo took out a full set of drawings and production technical information for the plane, they quickly started the construction of the first plane.
Chen Mo did not intend to build a medium-sized passenger plane like the Concorde that could accommodate more than a hundred passengers. Instead, he wanted to build a small business jet that could accommodate more than ten people.
Although there were also rich people who liked to modify large passenger planes like the Boeing 747 that were more than seventy meters long into spacious private jets, most people would not travel with more than twenty people. There was no need to buy a large private jet at all. Therefore, the demand for private jets was the greatest. The mainstream was still small and medium-sized jets.
The reason why Chen Mo could take out the drawings directly and did not even need to modify them like the previous car drawings was because the drawings he took out were actually Hydra's outdated supersonic bomber!
Although it was said to be an "outdated" plane that was eliminated by Hydra, that was only relative to the super-powerful technology mastered by Hydra. Its performance was not inferior to the supersonic bombers of various countries in the real world. In fact, it even surpassed them in many aspects.
The fuselage of this supersonic bomber was thirty-five meters long. It originally had a spacious bomb bay. The overall structure did not need to be greatly modified. It only needed to be slightly modified to meet the needs of a private jet.
As a supersonic strategic bomber, its maximum flight speed could reach Mach 3, which was more than 3,600 kilometers per hour. It was half faster than the Concorde that was popular back then!
The distance between Los Angeles and Bin City was more than a kilometer in the past. If one took a normal flight, it would take twelve hours to fly. However, this plane would only take less than three hours. It was more than four times faster than a normal plane!
However, the cost of this plane was not cheap. At three times the speed of sound, the requirements for the strength of the fuselage material, heat resistance, and other aspects were very high. The original H-2 special alloy could no longer meet the requirements.
Hydra naturally has several super alloys and special materials specially used in the manufacture of supersonic aircraft. Although their cost is still much cheaper than the expensive titanium alloys used in the field of fighter jets and aerospace in various countries, almost most of the main structure of the entire aircraft uses these materials. The cost of the entire aircraft is still very high. Preliminary calculations have already reached tens of millions of dollars, which has exceeded the price of most luxury private aircraft.
Moreover, Chen Mo couldn't possibly calculate the price based on the actual cost. After all, no one knew the true value of these alloys and special materials. He would definitely calculate it according to the current world standard. As for whether anyone would buy it if the price was too high?
..... . Was Thunder expensive?
If you asked the people who bought the car whether it was worth it, their answer would definitely be "Super!"
The reason why major aircraft manufacturing companies began to invest in the research and development of supersonic passenger planes was that there was enough market demand. The people who could afford a private plane might not be very powerful. After all, a cheaper small private plane only cost a few million dollars. However, those who wanted to buy a supersonic private plane were all the world's top billionaires. Money was just a number to them. Compared to faster speed and timeliness, price was not a problem at all!
Moreover, the advantages of this supersonic private plane were not limited to this. However, the specific advantages could only be felt when the plane was actually built.
Taking a step back, even if no one bought it, Chen Mo would just treat it as building it for himself. As a boss, he had to wear a combat suit when he went out all day long. It was time for him to enjoy himself. Chen Mo had decided to keep the first plane built for his own use!
Although Chen Mo took out the drawings and related technology, the construction of the plane was not something that could be done in a day or two. Although many of the related electronic instruments, radars, and other equipment could be purchased, the core of the plane, the turbojet engine, had to be built by themselves.
However, with the rich manufacturing experience of Shendun Motor Company, together with the perfect technical drawings and supporting special alloy materials, the construction of the engine was not too difficult.
However, with the establishment of several new companies, Chen Mo began to feel that he did not have enough people in his hands.
The workers, technicians, and administrative staff were easy to deal with. At most, they could directly recruit them. With Jarvis screening them, and the core technology was protected, there was no need to worry about it being leaked.
However, Chen Mo did not intend to casually recruit people to be in charge of the company's top management. After all, loyalty still needed to be cultivated. The new recruits would start from the middle level and be trained little by little. After confirming that they had enough ability and loyalty, they could be trusted to take charge of the company in the future. However, for the time being, there was no suitable candidate. The old people of Shendun Motor Company were good at keeping the company's records, but they were not good enough to open up new fields and lead the development of new companies.
Therefore, Chen Mo now had a serious shortage of senior management personnel.
Chen Mo missed the time when he was in the world of "Captain America" and "Iron Man". Hydra and S.H.E.L.D. served him behind the scenes. He did not have to worry about these things at all.
Now that he had a way to bring people from the movie world back to the real world, Chen Mo was determined to bring a group of people back the next time he returned to the world of "Iron Man"!
However, although there was a shortage of talent, it was not to the point where they could not work.
The S.H.E.L.D. cars and S.H.E.L.D. machines were now fully mature and operating very steadily. Chen Mo pulled out Su Wan and Anna. The S.H.E.L.D. cars were put in charge of the S.H.E.L.D. cars, and the S.H.E.L.D. machines, was put in charge of the S.H.E.L.D. machines, and a senior executive who performed well in the previous S.H.E.L.D. cars. The third phase of the construction of the industrial park was also handed over to Michael. With the foundation laid by Su Wan and Anna, they only needed to do it step by step. Chen Mo believed that they could do it well.
