Chapter 958: The Shadow of the Aviation Industry

The air show on the public day of the Paris Air Show is the most favorite and most anticipated program of the audience.

It is also the favorite of major aviation and aerospace manufacturers, and they can create a lot of topics in this session.

For example, long before the public day air show, Boeing has released the video of their 787-9 "vertical takeoff" on the runway to warm up for the Paris Air Show.

As soon as the video was released, it immediately aroused the madness of aviation enthusiasts. When the plane raised its head like a cobra, it seemed that the cobra maneuver of the past reappeared.

And Randy Neville, Boeing's chief pilot, held back his energy before the performance.

The former U.S. Air Force test pilot is arguably one of the top pilots in the entire world.

After being hired by Boeing at a high price, he has performed difficult maneuvers of the 787 at air shows many times.

The full name of Boeing 787 is Boeing787Dreamliner, and its alias is Dreamliner, Dreamliner.

Boeing has been desperately promoting a concept that the 787 is the world's most powerful and outstanding civil aircraft, and it almost meets the dreams of all civil aircraft.

It is flawless, it is like a lady, beautiful and noble.

But it can also be feral and omnipotent if need be.

Randy is the excellent pilot who makes it omnipotent.

And Randy has been looking forward to the most influential air show in the world, the Paris Air Show, which once again makes this dream aircraft shine amazingly.

Randy believes that no one can stop his light, not even Silence and Mecha.

No matter how good the Silence is, can you afford a ticket worth tens of millions?

No matter how powerful the mecha is, can you afford it at a cost of tens of billions of dollars?

But the Boeing 787, which can be bought for only a few hundred million dollars, can take you all over the world.

Sensible people should go after their Dreamliner, not that illusory thing.

And the so-called "technology orientation" of the lazy god?

Seeing Nan Ming's outrageous words, Randy wanted to hum him.

In this world, there is no company that can easily obtain technology that exceeds the world's dozens or hundreds of years. Technology progresses step by step. It is a long process from research and development to maturity to popularization of any technology.

How is it possible to make technology that others can't even copy?

Randy has been haunted by a sense of injustice all day long.

He is not a technician, but a pilot. He has tested many aircraft prototypes, many of which have created glorious history. He is the leading test pilot in the United States. After he was hired by Boeing, his annual salary is astonishing eight digits.

What he said should be the truth!

Lazy technology is not good, Boeing is the strongest commercial aircraft company!

That's right! That's it!

The more Randy thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was right. He held his head high and walked vigorously.

Where he passed by, many people saw him and gave way.

"It's Randy!"

"That's Randy, that Randy from Boeing!"

In the voice, there is reverence, fear, and salute.

Randy squinted at them from the corner of his eyes. Some of these people were his juniors, some were even students he taught, and some were test pilots of unknown small aircraft manufacturers.

Boeing stands at the top of the aviation industry. Among these pilots, he is the uncrowned king.

With such momentum, Randy rushed into the bathroom. The upcoming performance has almost brought the performance of the 787 to the extreme. Almost all the things that can be disassembled in the cabin have been disassembled. The fuel tank is empty, and only the minimum load can complete the performance. The oil is limited, and even this little weight in the bladder is an unbearable load for Randy.

In Randy's words, extreme flying performances are like dancing on the tip of a knife. A little hair on the tip of the knife may cause completely different results.

Randy is not a person who is easy to get close to, so his two co-pilots have also developed the habit of clearing the inventory with him before each air show.

In the smoking room next to the restroom, several pilots from other airlines were smoking, and Randy also saw a group of civilians, men, women and children, gathering there to laugh and laugh.

Seeing Randy, these people just glanced at it, and laughed again.

"It's a Russian."

"A folk aerobatic team."

The two co-pilots didn't know whether they were reminding each other or reporting to Randy.

Today, there are more than 20 civilian pilots performing helicopter formation flight demonstrations.

Randy has always looked down on formation flying. Apart from aesthetics, is there any other technical content?

He turned and walked towards the entrance of the men's bathroom, but almost bumped into several people.

Several oriental faces stepped aside, looking at him with a little surprise and a little excitement.

"It's Randy! Randy from Boeing!" a man in a pilot uniform whispered.

Regardless of whether it is Boeing or Randy, the pronunciation in various languages ​​is actually similar, and Randy understands it. He raised his head and snorted through his nostrils.

"Very powerful?" Xiao Youbin asked in bewilderment. He is engaged in aerospace, so he doesn't know much about it.

"Well, basically he is the king of the flying test world." Mr. Xie next to him scratched his head and explained.

The pilot next to him scratched his head and sighed, "The income is hundreds of times that of mine."

"Mr. Xie, when will our big plane be able to perform flight demonstrations at the Paris Air Show?"

The air show is actually arranged very tightly, not everyone can perform.

Even those folk aerobatic teams can only perform at the Paris Air Show because they form a formation with a record number of helicopters.

And there is no doubt that the domestically-made large aircraft that has just started does not have this honor.

Through the glass curtain wall, the pilot looked at the Boeing 787 parked on the tarmac outside. Through the wings of the 787, he could still see the large domestic aircraft parked in the distance.

Although it is called a large domestic aircraft, it is actually only half the length and half the capacity of the 63-meter-long 787, and far inferior in performance and comfort.

Looking from a distance, it seems to be a poor ugly duckling being suppressed under the wings of the swan-like 787.

"Yes." Mr. Xie smiled.

In the next second, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.

The Silence, which is twice the length of the 787 and nearly ten times the volume, is falling from the sky.

The shadow shrouded the 787, and then slowly landed on the airport runway.

The pilot raised his head and looked at the Silence, which was as delicate as a leaf, his face was full of piety.

Randy, who came out of the toilet with his pants in his hands, saw this scene, and cursed angrily: "XXXX!"
