"It's really shortened a lot. However, in order to improve safety, the fuselage fuel tank was canceled, and the weight was reduced by more than 8 tons, although the weight of the fuselage was reduced a lot, but the fuel load was also reduced...... "Cheng introduced the situation from time to time.

Xie Kai's eyes narrowed.

If this is the case, the Y-8's range will indeed have to be reduced a lot, and even the load capacity will be reduced a lot.

"Didn't you think about such a question?" The next day, before he saw the plane, Xie Kai asked Sun Daoqian.

Sun Daoqian did not hide it, and gave an introduction to the actual situation.

"It's not that nothing has been considered, the original plan was to add two auxiliary fuel tanks on the wings on both sides. Later, it was found that the force structure of the wing changed greatly, which affected the safety performance......"

"In addition to this, the security and performance are not bad. The whole machine is sealed, and there is an air-conditioning system, and the comfort is very good......," Su Xingguo added.

Liu Xu refused to accept the plane, they originally wanted to change the Y-8 from military series to civilian use.

This was the case with the first plane, and it was a headache.

It is produced, the customer does not want it, and the possibility of converting it back to become a military aircraft is not impossible, and military aircraft are all produced according to the plan.

Xie Kai was a little helpless.

I knew that I shouldn't have signed a contract with them in the first place, even if I didn't buy this Y-8, wouldn't Qin Fei have to buy work clothes?

"Why don't you go and see the design inside the plane first?" Sun Daoqian suggested that Xie Kai go to the test workshop first to see the Y-10.

At present, in addition to the performance improvement research, there are few orders for the Y-8, and the test workshop is next to the final assembly workshop.

At the beginning of the cooperation, Xie Kai proposed that the production process of the fighter adopts a pulsating production line, after the research of domestic experts and technicians, this production method has gradually taken shape, although it is not as high as the degree of mechanical automation in foreign countries, most of them are still manual, and the efficiency has been improved a lot.

It's not that the Air Force doesn't need more transport aircraft, but there is no money.

"Hey, why are there two Y-10s in the assembly workshop?" Xie Kai was a little puzzled.

Now there is only one Y-10 about to be delivered, and now there are two in the workshop, how can he not be surprised, there is no possibility that there is no order for the entire 404 does not know.

The Y-10 is much larger than the Y-8, and you can see it at a glance.

When the whole workshop was originally the busiest, more than ten Y-8s were produced and assembled at the same time, and now only three or two Y-8s are still being assembled.

I don't know if it's a modified version or the original basic type.

"The second one can fly, it turned out that there were cracks in the welds of the frame beams and other welds of the main structure inside, and after discussing with Director Zheng, they proposed to replace only these parts, and at the same time upgrade the electronic equipment inside......," Su Xingguo explained.

Xie Kai didn't even ask how to change it.

Instead, I went to the next workshop to see the Y-8, which was being tested with electronic systems.

Ground taxiing tests and flight tests have been carried out, but in fact, the entire Y-8 has reached the delivery state, if it were not for Liu Xu's refusal, this aircraft would have been delivered.

Accustomed to seeing large aircraft, either Y-10 or Il-76, Xie Kai really looked down on the Y-8 in front of him.

The internal width of the Y-8 is only more than three meters, and the height is only 2.5 meters, which is only the height of the middle passage.

The layout of the space is already oppressive, and the worst thing is that the sofa and everything are black, which makes the entire cabin interior look even more oppressive.

"Why is it all black in here?" Xie Kai frowned.

"All sofas are the best real cowhide sofas in China, didn't you say before that the interior of a business aircraft must be atmospheric and luxurious?" Su Xingguo looked at Xie Kai with some puzzlement.

Xie Kai almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

He forgot the aesthetics of the Chinese people of this era.

In the previous era of scarcity, people wore those colors and styles.

Even now, the popular ones are far less abundant and as many styles than those of later generations.

The layout of the entire cabin is completely old-fashioned.

"It's such a color or something, do you think there will be customers who like it? This is not a civil airliner, everyone may only take ......it once in a long time," Xie Kai said a little weakly.

Even the red soft sofa in the business class of the Y-10 will look much better than this.

"This was discussed with the Y-10 team, and if you look at the leaders' offices, they are all black and atmospheric. The real cowhide sofa is also the top in China, and all of these are specially customized, and the most popular style in China is currently ......" Sun Daoqian hurriedly explained.

The performance is not attractive enough, and the interior they have a lot of effort.

If Xie Kai did not recognize this, they could only keep the plane for themselves, or find someone else to buy it, and they would not be able to sell it at all.

Xie Kai was noncommittal, and this cargo actually dragged the Y-10 team in.

Could it be that with the participation of the Yun-10 team, there is no need to consider customer needs?

He didn't say much, but walked around the entire cabin, and even sat on the sofa to test his comfort.

And let people turn on all the lights in the cabin.

The lighting is a bit harsh, and there isn't much room for choice.

Don't even think about some other colors of lighting for everyone to choose from.

"This is the most popular? Director Sun, we need to look internationally, to the future, to modernization! Is there a refrigerator here? Is this sofa comfortable to sit on? Don't you think the lights are very dazzling? If customers need to rest, can they rest? Or turn off all the lights?" Xie Kai was a little angry.

Thirty million!

30 million business jets, the result is the experience.

Who will buy it in the future?

"Do you still have to put a bed on it?" Su Xingguo was speechless.

Aren't airplanes used to go out and ride?

According to Xie Kai's requirements, this is to make the cabin of this business jet into a super luxury room of a luxury hotel?

"The plane is not good enough because of its poor flight performance, not fast enough, not high enough flight altitude, and not long enough, so it can't even decorate the interior......," Xie Kai said here, a little angry.

It is a little difficult for Chinese people of this year to engage in interior design according to the world's top luxury decoration.

"The plane was originally for people to ride, and if you do that, the cost will increase a lot......" Su Xingguo felt that Xie Kai's request was a bit excessive, and muttered dissatisfied.

"What is corruption? people who have money to buy business jets for their own use, do you think they will care about the cost?" Xie Kai laughed angrily.

Mozzi pulled him.

Xie Kai didn't realize anything at all.

"Brother Kai, this plane is for Liu's mother......" Mo Qi reminded Xie Kai in a low voice, "And Liu's mother's identity ......"

Xie Kai was stunned.

This Y-8 was indeed ordered by him for his wife, originally thinking that the old lady was just flying everywhere in China, and it would be more convenient if she had a plane, so that the family would not see it once a year.

"This plane is for display. Do you think that the bosses, who are all kinds of negotiations and all kinds of work, are constantly flying around for meetings and so on, and they can't get a good rest on the plane...... Xie Kai didn't care about this at all.

It's right to use it for the old lady, and it's not for the old lady alone.

If the base is needed, it must still be used.

The plane will be used to pick up and drop off their big customers.

"So, the experience is the most important thing. Xie Kai said solemnly.

The two looked at Xie Kai and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Xie Kai, why don't you give me some suggestions?" Sun Daoqian was a little embarrassed, looking at Xie Kai, they really had no choice.

Just let Xie Kai say, in this way, according to Xie Kai's request, they can't refuse, right?

"It's not appropriate for me to ask this, ask my mother. In addition, it is best to find one or two interior designers with rich experience...... "Xie Kai doesn't want to trouble himself."

What kind of style does the old lady like, if it is the original, he can still guarantee it.

But now, the old lady is running outside most of the time, she is well-informed, and her preferences will change.

"Interior design? Does it have to do with interior design?"

To make customers feel at home, international business jets not only have the functions of office and conference, but also have the function of home, so that customers can get a good rest on the plane, so that there will be a market. Not only the Y-8 business jet has to do this, but even the Y-10 business jet has to do the same. "Private jets, Xie Kai has only seen some in the movies.

Specifically, he still doesn't know.

At the very least, local tycoons who can afford a private jet sometimes need to work on the plane, sometimes they need to rest on the plane, and even party on the plane, these features are essential.

At present, no one in China has such an aircraft, and even the special plane for the leader's visit is also called from a civil airliner, which is not professional.

If you don't have this experience, you have to start from scratch.

"Find the designer, and then let them look at the decoration of those five-star hotels, and feel it directly in those foreign-related hotels in the capital, and they will know. The interior of a private jet, regardless of the cost. Of course, we need to communicate with the customer first, see what the customer thinks, and customize the ...... according to the customer's idea."

The more Xie Kai said, the more he took out the kind of personalized and private customized solutions for customers decades later.

Sun Daoqian and Su Xingguo were dumbfounded.

Even Mozzie felt a little incredible, an airplane, as for making it like this?

The decoration of the home is not so luxurious.

"That's another home for people who own private jets. Usually they don't have much time at home, so they can think of it as a house for them, a house that can fly in the air. Xie Kai saw Mo Qi ask like this, and said directly.
