Chapter 15 Modular Aircraft

Time quietly reached May 1st.

At this moment, a large Boeing 777 customized red aircraft landed on the runway of Charles de Gaulle Airport in the suburb of Paris, France, and then taxied to the apron.

It is still Angry Birds, but it is not the same one before. It is slightly larger. The upper and lower floors have been completely redesigned, the interior decoration is more luxurious, and it is also equipped with a catapult device.

Once an accident occurs in the plane, you can sit in a special seat and eject all forty passengers, including the captain.

From the outside, it looks no different from the one before. However, it is more luxurious than an ordinary presidential suite. It is specially hired to create a European style. The interior of the previous plane was given by Boeing. This time, Han Xuan paid for it himself, and Star Investment helped to pay the bill. It was placed in the name of the family office and could save some taxes.

This plane cost him a total of 530 million US dollars, mainly because the modification cost is too high. Even Boeing, which is full of talents, will take two years to customize it for Han Xuan. If you buy four such large aircraft, it is specially used for its members to travel and use. In the past, the one was handed over to Maldives Airlines. While renting it out, it occasionally made the company's senior employees benefit from it.

Four aircraft cost more than $2 billion, but Han Xuan felt it was worth it. In addition to the catapult device, several aircraft were also equipped with anti-missile defense systems, which were not as advanced as those on fighter jets, but were enough to meet general needs.

In fact, defense can also carry out a certain scale of counterattack, but the detailed data has not been released to the public. Before customization, a harsh confidentiality agreement was signed with the representatives sent by Boeing to prevent the data from being used by those who are interested.

In addition, what really makes Han Xuan feel worthy is another great idea that he "borrowed" from Boeing. Once that idea can be turned into a reality, it can completely dispel all people's concerns about aircraft safety and put the aviation industry into a new stage.

At that time, Boeing's senior vice president talked to Han Xuan about an idea proposed by researchers. When the joke told him that he was preparing to develop a "modular aircraft", the so-called "modular aircraft" refers to a separable and assembled aircraft.

Nowadays, every passenger on the plane will be in lingering fears during the takeoff, but when Han Xuan transforms the "creative idea of ​​learning from" - a modular aircraft from concept to reality, the probability of an aircraft crash will be greatly reduced.

Its highlight is its detachable modular cabin. This technology was inspired by a Boeing engineer who designed the plan for skydiving for a passenger aircraft alone, but not passengers, but parachuting for the cabin!

The principle is very simple. It looks like a capsule and can be combined or decomposed with the aircraft. In the event of an accident in a flight, the cabin can be quickly disengaged and passengers can land safely.

While reducing weight, it can also avoid accidents such as fires and explosions, putting passenger safety first. From a technical theory, it can be realized. Its appearance is not much different from existing large aircraft. Now that Boeing engineer has switched to Bombardier.

The research team has no worries about funds and talents during the two or three years of R&D. Because it is a new technology, it is quite troublesome in R&D. It should be able to develop successfully in the past one or two years. Of course, it means that it is still in the laboratory stage and is still a long way to go before it is actually put into commercial use. When that day comes, it also means that the Canadian Bombardier of South Korea's Xuan Holdings will occupy a large part of the large passenger aircraft market...

I have been here several times, but Mr. Nasseri, who has been trapped in the airport for several years, has left.

In the past, Han Xuan would always visit him when he arrived. This legendary refugee who had lived in the airport for several years ended up having to go to the hospital for treatment because he was sick, and France gave him legal citizenship.

Han Xuan bought his story back then and adapted it into the script "Happy Terminal". The starring Tom Hanks, who has a good relationship with him, was delayed until the 2000 Christmas time.

The movie received rave reviews, with excellent scripts and outstanding actors, and eventually earned $410 million worldwide box office worldwide, with a production cost of only 60 million.

"Brother! I don't want to find my parents, let them continue traveling. How about we go directly to grandpa and grandpa's place?"

After his sister Gloria got out of the plane, she was angry and reluctant to walk forward.

This plane also has a rear hatch, and the car is driving out, a classic bulletproof Rolls-Royce in black and silver. You can tell that the horsepower is very powerful just by listening to the sound. The company specially customized the car for Han Xuan, of course, it will not cut corners and use the best technology and materials.

After leaving Gabon a week ago, Han Xuan went directly to Libreville, the capital of Gabon, to take a plane. The airport runway was a bit short and the large plane took off a little bit. Fortunately, the pilot he hired was experienced, otherwise it would be troublesome.

The destinations of leaving Gabon are Tanzania and Kenya. These two African countries have the magical landforms of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, and there is also the highest mountain on the African continent, Kilimanjaro. Han Xuan and his two sisters took a helicopter to visit the mountain. Afterwards, they felt that it was not interesting. If you took a hot air balloon to watch the mountain, it would be more fun.

This time they focused on the Serengeti Grassland, the largest grassland in Africa between Kenya and Tanzania.

This season, the Serengeti grassland is full of vitality. The animals will not migrate to other places until around June. Large-scale migrations have not been seen, and many of them are small.

Between May and June each year, among the Serengeti herbivores, about 1.5 million wildebeests and zebras, 300,000 Thomson gazelle, and 30,000 Grant gazelle migrate from the central plain to the western region where water is always present.

Between July and August, some of them migrated from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara grassland. The vast army of animals formed a magnificent landscape that shocked the world.

When Han Xuan went there, there were just enough animals, with about three million animals in total. They could be seen wherever they stood. The green grassland embraced the blue lake water. There was a circle of white saline-alkali land beside the lake water, and green grass and trees were everywhere. Various herbivores and carnivores lived on this grassland.
