    Not only Zhuang Jianye, but also Lin Guanghua, Liu Chun, Qian Qiang and others were surprised.

    It is not uncommon for the naval aviation force to deal with air situations, because aircraft, especially civil aviation aircraft, have had an accident and need to adjust their routes urgently. At this time, the aviation force needs to take appropriate avoidance to eliminate interference for the civil aviation aircraft to deal with its own situation.

    ¡°But it¡¯s rare for a plane to make an emergency landing at a military airport like this. That¡¯s it. The key is that the emergency landing is a large wide-body passenger aircraft with a take-off weight of more than 200 tons. It¡¯s not uncommon, but rare.

    You must know that this naval aviation base is a typical military airport. The main runway is 3,200 meters long. It is no problem for ordinary fighter jets and small and medium-sized military transport aircraft to take off and land, but the take-off weight of DC-10 is hundreds of tons.  Big guy, the runway of more than 3,000 meters is still too short. It needs to be at least about 5,000 meters to meet the basic safe take-off and landing conditions.

    But even so, the fact that this McDonnell Douglas DC-10, which belonged to an unknown unit, fell regardless of it, can only mean one problem, that is, the aircraft encountered a very serious malfunction and had to risk an emergency landing.

    "Let's go over and have a look!"

    ??Whether it¡¯s to see the world or go take a look at the excitement, since you encounter such a rare situation, why not go and take a look?  So Zhuang Jianye said hello, and Lin Guanghua and others quickly followed and went straight to the airport.

    ¡­¡­

    Hugh Wood held the posture pole with both hands and stared blankly at the grass not far away. His dark gray eyes had lost focus, as if his soul had been taken away, and his whole person turned into a walking zombie.

    "God, we succeeded"

    At this moment, Beckman, who was in the co-pilot position, murmured in disbelief, then turned his head and looked at the dazed Hugh Wood: "Captain, we succeeded, we survived."

    "It was successful I survived"

    Hugh Wood repeated Beckman's words mechanically, and finally reacted. He tremblingly loosened his grip on the posture rod, and slumped down on the driver's seat. He immediately pulled out a pendant from his neck and opened it.  Looking at the photos of his wife and daughter inside, he kissed them affectionately, then sighed deeply and moved his mouth to say something, but in the end no word came out.

    Beckman on the side understood the captain¡¯s mood very well. Being able to narrowly escape from death is a matter of luck to everyone. This is the case for Hugh Wood, and even more so for Beckman.

    Even though this incident may have ruined McDonnell Douglas' carefully planned business exhibition, Beckman still doesn't feel any regrets. After all, no matter how much money you have, you have to spend it wisely.

    Unlike Hugh Wood and Beckman, who were glad that they could finally live, the 46-year-old Esther Foss, the product sales director of McDonnell Douglas in the luxury business class cabin behind them, was not so simple happy.

    Having encountered a life-and-death situation before, this senior sales director with an annual salary of two million US dollars was really afraid that his life would be buried with the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 that came to China for exhibition, even if there would be others after his death.  A generous inheritance and huge commercial insurance compensation were left to his family, but he still wanted to live. After all, there were so many beautiful girls around the world waiting for him to have a romantic encounter. If he died, his life would be too much.  loss.

    However, after Hugh Wood and Beckman used their superb operating skills and fearless courage to successfully make an emergency landing on this 3,200-meter-long flight that suffered a serious malfunction, Voss suddenly saved his life.  I found that it would be better to live than to die.

    The reason is very simple. This McDonnell Douglas DC-10 display event in China is very likely to be completely ruined due to this accident.

    This is by no means good news for McDonnell Douglas, which has seen a sharp decline in sales and seriously affected its revenue performance. You must know that the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 has experienced a sharp decline in reputation due to several air crashes in recent years, even though the original defects have been corrected later.  Improvements were made, but the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 seemed to be cursed by the devil, and accidents occurred one after another.

    At this time, the global aviation industry was in rapid turmoil, with major changes not seen in decades. European Airbus suddenly emerged and began to step up competition with American aviation companies.

    At the same time, domestic competition in the United States has also intensified. The first to fall was Lockheed's L1011 "Samsung" passenger aircraft. Due to operating costs, purchase prices and other reasons, it was unable to compete with other aviation companies and simply gave up the civil aircraft business.  Focus on the development of military products.

    Although McDonnell Douglas has attacked Lockheed in terms of three-engine passenger aircraft, faced with the suppression of the domestic Boeing Company's full range of passenger aircraft and the pursuit of European Airbus' twin-engine aircraft, McDonnell Douglas seems to be somewhat powerless, so it is eager to  Expand new markets in order to consolidate the current international civilian customer base?The status of production.

    So the choice went back and forth, and McDonnell Douglas chose China. The main reason is that China¡¯s economic development has been relatively rapid in recent years, and domestic demand for civil aviation has gradually increased. In addition, China¡¯s vast territory makes it a potential destination for the sale of civil aviation aircraft.

    It was at this time that the country began to adjust its development strategy for civil aviation aircraft, hoping to introduce advanced foreign technology and use a "market-for-technology" model similar to automobiles to promote the development of domestic large-scale aviation platforms.

    The two sides met each other and hit it off immediately, so the Y-10 project was cancelled, the McDonnell Douglas-82 joint venture project was officially launched, and the sales plan for the first batch of thirty-two aircraft was quickly completed.

    Regardless of the impact of the entire project on the country, it is a shot in the arm for McDonnell Douglas. Since China can completely open the market to McDonnell Douglas, does that mean that other models of its own can also be sold?

    So McDonnell Douglas sent a professional market consulting company to China to conduct a professional market survey. The conclusion made everyone at McDonnell Douglas rejoiced, because according to the analysis of the professional market consulting company, in the next ten to fifteen years, China will  The shortage of large wide-body mainline passenger aircraft is more than 200.

    With more than 200 large wide-body mainline passenger aircraft, if calculated at US$200 million per aircraft, that would be a market share of over US$40 billion.

    With more than 40 billion U.S. dollars, there is no market as big as China¡¯s anywhere in the world. As long as it can swallow it, what does McDonnell Douglas have to fear from Airbus and Boeing?  In turn, they are just as afraid of McDonnell Douglas.

    So McDonnell Douglas executives quickly dispatched their latest McDonnell Douglas dc-10-30fg aircraft to demonstrate to China Civil Aviation. Although the model is still McDonnell Douglas dc-10, the overall structure of the aircraft has been significantly improved, and the  Many technologies are used for the MD-11 wide-body passenger aircraft under development. In other words, this McDonnell Douglas DC-10 has already surpassed the original model and is a transitional model between the old DC-10 and MD-11. It is advanced.  Sex speaks for itself.

    McDonnell Douglas¡¯s intention of choosing this model to come to China is also very simple. It is to pave the way for the md-11 aircraft to enter the Chinese market. There is no way. McDonnell Douglas itself knows that its DC-10¡¯s reputation has collapsed and its sales have been bleak.

    So I simply bet on the next generation wide-body passenger aircraft, but the md-11 prototype in hand has not completed testing and cannot come, so I sent a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30fg that applied many md-11 technologies.  , first let Chinese customers experience the awesomeness of the next generation wide-body passenger aircraft.

    Before the results could even be shown off, the McDonnell Douglas dc-10-30fg that had flown all the way here had a problem. Fox wanted to die, so why couldn't the dc-10 live up to its expectations?  Is the market of more than 40 billion US dollars just gone?
