268. The first plane

Auerbach, who was reading the newspaper, raised his head, folded the newspaper neatly, and asked crossed his fingers, "Do you want to buy a plane?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "I thought about it. Now that the scale of the fishing ground has expanded, the fishing boats are too inefficient in bait spreading. It's time to buy a farm aircraft."

"I don't know much about this, I only know that most of the aircraft used in fishing grounds are agricultural aircraft of Polish M-18b dromedary camel. Previously, Dick Sea Vegetation Company sent to the fishing grounds to sow seaweed seeds."

It seems that Auerbach has no way to advise him, so Qin Shiou said, "I'll go online to check it out."

Auerbach smiled and said, "Why have to go online? Don't you have a Black Gold Centurion? I think Yuntong should have a special service staff for big customers like you. Ask them and they will give you satisfactory answers. If you want to buy a plane, you can buy a plane faster through them."

"So amazing?" Qin Shiou said suspiciously. After breakfast, he estimated that Yuntong Company had hired a special service staff member to work by the Black Gold Centurion Card holder, so he called Brandon to call him.

After the phone dialed, the phone rang three times, and a sweet voice appeared on Qin Shiou's microphone: "Hello, dear customer Mr. Qin, I am your specialist Jennifer Alby. I am very happy to serve you. Do you have any needs?"

The sound is very nice, no worse than the so-called female anchor of a radio station. Qin Shiou coughed and said, "That's right, Jennifer, I am Qin Shiou, I want to buy a farm aircraft. The price is best controlled within 500,000 Canadian dollars. Can you introduce me to a few models?"

When he finished speaking, Jennifer said, "Okay, Mr. Qin, please wait. Check your email in five minutes and I will send you the appropriate information."

Sure enough, five minutes later, Qin Shiou refreshed his email and a new email from Yuntong Company appeared.

After he opened it, the names of more than 20 aircraft were listed above. The prices, models, advantages and disadvantages, customer experience, etc. were followed by them, which were very detailed. In addition, Jennifer also marked the key points on the models with better market feedback, and the service was very thoughtful.

The first one to come out is the Polish plm18-b type dromedary agricultural aircraft. The user feedback of this aircraft is the best. It is considered one of the most cost-effective agricultural aircraft, and the lowest price for sale in Canada is 150,000 Canadian dollars.

Other popular agricultural aircraft include GA-200 Fateman, Emb-202 Tepanema, Z137t agricultural vortex, peak type, aerial tractor type, etc.

Qin Shiou looked at the introductions of these planes one by one. Although they were just agricultural planes, he still enjoyed it.

The GA-200 Fateman aircraft is from Australia Gippsland Airlines Co., Ltd., with a fuselage material of all metal sae4130 molybdenum steel pipe welded structure, with an empty weight of 770kg, and a maximum take-off weight of 1770kg. The cruising speed is 374 kilometers per hour.

The emb-202 Tepanema aircraft was designed by Embraer. It has a welded structure of all-metal 4130 steel pipes, with an empty weight of 1020 kg. The maximum take-off weight is 1580 kg and a speed of 230 kilometers per hour.

The z137t agricultural whirlpool aircraft is from the Czech Sports Aircraft Company. Its fuselage is made of a metal-skinned steel structure, with an air weight of 1250kg, a take-off weight of 2520kg, and a cruising speed of 228 kilometers per hour.

The peak comes from New Zealand Pacific Aerospace Corporation. The fuselage is made of aluminum-titanium alloy skin PDC plastic sheet material, with an empty weight of 1315kg. The maximum take-off weight is 3742 kg and a speed of 274 kilometers per hour.

The next one that is very distinctive is the aerial tractor. This aircraft is very famous in North America. It is a flagship aircraft produced by the American Air Tractor Co., Ltd. The fuselage material is a simple 4130 steel structure, rough and powerful, with an air weight of two tons, the maximum take-off weight is 4 tons and 3, and the speed is 253 kilometers per hour.

These aircraft are not expensive, with the most expensive air tractors being around 500,000 Canadian dollars, and other aircraft being less than 300,000 Canadian dollars.

Although there are only five types of aircraft here, in fact, each type of aircraft has more than ten seed models, such as aerial tractor, including the at-301 original model, at-401/401a improved model, at-400/402 improved model, at-501at-502 enhanced model, at-503/503a new model and at-802/at-802u ultimate model, etc.

These types of aircraft are the most representative in their respective fields. They are either simple and easy to use, such as Polish dromedary, or fast as GA-200 Fateman, or the most fuel-efficient Emb-202 Tepanema. In short, each aircraft has its own advantages.

Qin Shiou studied it and couldn't decide. It seems that it's best to buy a dharmian camel, because this kind of aircraft is not only cheap and easy to use, but also the accessories are also good. Although it is a Polish-made aircraft, it has a production line in Canada.

However, after some comparison, Qin Shiou decided to buy an air tractor, and he wanted an at-802 civilian model.

The at-802 was finalized in September 1995. This model is larger than the previous models. It is the first two-seat aircraft designed by the air tractor airline. It is mainly used for special tasks such as fire extinguishing, chemical agent spraying in mountain forests, high-volume seeding and fertilization, and anti-drugs.

This aircraft is equipped with a 820 kilowatt, 1115-axis horsepower Pratt-Whitney Canada PT6a-45r turboprop engine, which drives a pair of Hatzel five-bladder feathered reversible pitch constant speed metal propeller.

The empty weight of at-802 is terrifyingly 3,200 kilograms, which is more than three tons. Its bearing capacity is stronger, with a maximum take-off weight of 6,600 kilograms, a speed of 280 kilometers per hour, and an extreme speed of 360 kilometers per hour.

The reason why Qin Shiou made up his mind to buy this kind of aircraft was because he saw a news report when searching for these models: the US Southern Command purchased a series of armed improved at-802u of the At-802u to carry out anti-guerrilla, anti-riot, anti-drug, anti-smuggling and anti-terrorism missions in South America.

Qin Shiou studied this news and learned from a forum that the at-802 was originally developed as a military machine. It is very suitable for armed modification. As long as it is modified into a monitoring mission state, it can be equipped with optical, photoelectric, infrared thermal imaging, night vision, synthetic aperture radar pods and other equipment.

If modified to an armed attack state, it can carry 8,000 pounds of bullets, can be equipped with laser, radio and television, infrared weapons fire control pods, 2 gau-193 tube 12.7 mm Gatling machine guns, 2 bpw "Border Protection Weapons" precisely guided gliding bombs, 4 hellfire missiles, 16 Lockheed Martin drag laser guided rockets or m2607 tube uncontrolled rockets nests, mk82-250 pound laser guided bombs...

If it is modified to be equipped with protective equipment, then armor can be installed on the cockpit and engine, bulletproof glass of the cockpit, self-sealed fuel tank, optional aar-47/ale-47 self-defense system, helmet sight, and additional body auxiliary fuel tank...
