The assembly plant where the future global transport aircraft is located is just behind the Black Hawk assembly plant, because the size of the global transport aircraft, the area of the assembly plant, is almost ten times the size of the Black Hawk assembly plant.

The assembly plant for transport aircraft around the world is 500 meters long, 150 meters wide, and nearly 10 stories high.

In the entire assembly plant, there are four huge gates, each of which is an assembly point.

There are six such assembly plants in this industrial area, two of which are dedicated to assembling global transport aircraft, and the rest are used to assemble other large aircraft.

When Cai Ruichen walked in with Anders, even the well-informed Anders showed a rather surprised look.

Anders has also been to several assembly plants of Boeing, and has also seen the assembly of the Galaxy transport aircraft and the assembly plant of the Globemaster, but none of them can reach this level.

The factory in front of you is like a huge industrial empire, in which four global transport planes are being assembled, and the equipment is being assembled at the assembly point.

The exterior of the fuselage of the four transport planes being assembled has been completed and painted with silver-gray exterior paint, and the installation of internal equipment is currently underway.

The automatic assembly robots on both sides of the assembly point are all in a resting state, and the four ultra-high-thrust engines located at the junction of the wings and the fuselage have also been installed, and it seems that the aircraft has been powered on, and the signal lights on the body are on.

Anders, who had seen the Galaxy transport plane, stood in front of the first global transport plane. Once again, I fully felt my own insignificance.

"It's just too big, just a little smaller than the An-225."

Hearing Anders's emotion, Cai Ruichen said: "The wingspan of this type of transport aircraft is seventy-six meters long. The length of the fuselage is eighty meters, and the height of the fuselage is equivalent to the height of a six-story building.

This is the Group's super transport aircraft for military transport and general commercial transport, which is capable of transporting 200 tons of cargo at a time and flying directly to the United States without any refueling in between.

The main purpose of the initial research on this transport aircraft was to speed up the efficiency of the transportation of the Group's goods to the world, as opposed to sea transportation. The efficiency is not a little higher, and compared to the cabin size of the world's largest transport aircraft, the An-225, our global transport aircraft. It is not small at all, we can also transport all the goods that the An-225 can transport, and in terms of range and fuel consumption, it is much less than the An-225. Reduce the cost of transportation. Improve the efficiency of transportation.

At present, we have received more than 200 large transportation orders from all over the world, ranging from the transportation of wind turbine blades up to 60 meters long, to small private jets or large container cargo......"

Hearing Cai Ruichen's words, Anders shook his head and said: "The transport plane is good, and the data is also very good, but with such a huge transport plane, there are not many airports around the world that can land smoothly." The strength and length and width of the runway will limit the use of this transport aircraft.

And at the moment such a huge transport task. It's all in small amounts, and even if there is a commercial use, it won't be too much.

What's more, if it is used for military transportation, I think this transport aircraft is like our Galaxy transport plane, which is too wasteful. ”

The reason why the Galaxy transport aircraft is not favored by the US military is indeed because the Galaxy transport aircraft is not a qualified military transport aircraft.

The main feature is that it cannot take off and land under complex conditions, and the requirements for the airport are too high.

And the Galaxy transport aircraft does not yet have the ability to fly around the clock, and once it encounters complex meteorological conditions, it cannot be used.

In addition, the transportation power is too wasteful, the fuel consumption is also very terrifying, and the cost performance is too low.

Therefore, after the US military ordered 80 Galaxy transport planes, it directly stopped continuing to order Galaxy transport planes, and at the same time, the production line of Galaxy transport planes was also immediately stopped.

What the United States really favors is the Global Overlord, because the Global Overlord has the ability to take off and land tactically while having the capability of a strategic transport aircraft.

And it can carry out all-weather transportation flights, and can also carry out in-flight refueling, which can truly achieve global flights.

The Global Overlord is still the pride of the U.S. military and the guarantee of the U.S. military's global deployment.

But what Anders didn't know was that the transport plane, which he was not optimistic about, seemed to be very large, but it also had the ability to take off and land tactically, and could take off at a distance of one thousand meters under afterburner.

Compared with the US military's global grasp, the performance of the Red Alert global transport aircraft far exceeds that of the Globemaster.

However, Cai Ruichen did not explain too much, the United States is not his customer, and it is naturally impossible to order his planes, after all, the United States itself has all kinds of advanced aircraft, and it is not his turn.

Compared with transport aircraft, those airlines in the United States are most interested in future passenger aircraft.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen naturally won't explain too much, and he won't explain too much to the outside world, after all, all the production capacity of the Red Police Corps is all self-sufficient, and there is not much room for sale at all.

This is also the reason why, for a long time, Future Technology Group has never seriously publicized its weapons and equipment, which is really unnecessary.

The Muhong Police Corps already has two professional transport aircraft, one is an ordinary tactical transport aircraft, and the other is a large strategic transport aircraft.

As for the views of the Americans, he is not in the mood to give the United States a meeting to explain the merits of his weapons and equipment.

As for the global take-off and landing problem mentioned by Anders, in Cai Ruichen's view, there is no problem.

As long as there are medium-sized airports in the world, there is a runway 40 meters wide and more than 1,500 meters long, and the world's transport planes can land smoothly, and there are more than 3,000 such airports in the world.

So such a problem, in Cai Ruichen's view, does not exist at all.

The global strategic transport aircraft, and not such a big guy as the An-225, does not have so many problems.

However, although he was not very optimistic about this transport aircraft, Anders was still very interested in looking around the transport aircraft in front of him, which was being assembled internally.

His preference was the rear door of the cabin, the automatic loading and unloading rails on the top and bottom of the cabin, which immediately made his eyes shine, and of course, the rear door that was the same size as the cabin after opening, which made him very interested. (To be continued.) )
