Linhai is not considered the largest city in Dong Province.
The scale of Linhai Airport is naturally not very large.
Although the sparrow is small, all its organs are fully developed.
As one of the few airports in Dong Province, Linhai Airport is also equipped with comprehensive facilities.
However, today's Linhai Airport appears to be a bit congested.
Under the condition that it does not affect normal aircraft takeoff and landing, the remaining space in the airport is almost occupied by aircraft.
However, unlike passenger planes, the aircrafts parked at the airport are all propeller planes.
This looks like a somewhat retro scene that makes many passengers who see it can't help but glance.
In the modern era where technology is becoming increasingly advanced, almost all fighter jets and commercial airplanes are developing in the direction of turbofan engines.
An engine like this turboprop is quite rare, let alone having so many turboprop aircraft.
"The paint job and logo seem to be from Shunfeng, are all these planes from Shunfeng?"
Some people with keen eyes quickly discovered the paint job and logo on the planes.
"Shunfeng?" Upon hearing this name, many people were taken aback.
Immediately, everyone felt puzzled: "Why does Shunfeng need so many antique planes?"
In the eyes of most people, turbofan is the mainstream, while turbo propeller is almost synonymous with outdated.
Those propellers don't look like they're from any advanced aircraft.
Although these propeller planes look very strange, as if they have never appeared in the world before...
"I've heard for the past two years that Shunfeng was planning to establish its own express airline. Are these Shunfeng's express planes?"
Not long after, a member of the crowd thought of some reasons.
"Establish a own express airline? Use these old antiques? True or false?"
"Whether this thing can take off first is not to be mentioned. Even if it can really take off, is this still called express? Don't make it slow delivery or you will be laughed at."
"……"
At the same time, there were countless chatter sounds inside a plane that had already started to taxi and prepare to take off.
Among the countless chatter sounds, an elderly man near the window was staring at what the crowd considered "old antiques" with a death grip, and a trace of suspicion and uncertainty kept flashing across his eyes.
"Xiao Jiang, have you seen the cockpit of these planes?"
Only after the passenger plane had taken off and soared into the high sky, gradually disappearing out of sight, did the elderly man return his gaze, and with a serious expression, asked a young man next to him.
Hearing the old man's question, the young man was taken aback, and then plunged into deep thought.
After a long time, the young man's eyebrows relaxed, and then he shook his head slightly: "It seems not."
Upon hearing this, the old man fell into silence immediately.
At the same time, the young man seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the old man intently, his face involuntarily revealing a trace of horror.
"Master, does that mean…"
At this moment, a storm of confusion swept through the young man's mind.
These propeller planes have a unique design. Although the front part of the plane looks no different from a regular plane, if you look closely, you will find that there is no cockpit in the front!
There are only three possibilities.
The first possibility is that the cockpit of these planes is concealed. The second possibility is that the cockpit is located somewhere else on the plane. The last possibility is that these planes do not have a cockpit at all!
Among the three possibilities, the first two can be basically ruled out.
Ordinary people may not be able to judge, but they are all professional personnel, the true experts in the field of aviation!
Especially the old man, who is a top figure in the industry!
Whether these planes have a cockpit or not, they can basically judge them at a glance.
So, only the last possibility remains!
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)?
For a moment, both of them were somewhat confused.
They hadn't seen drones, but the military had set up a special project for this technology within the national defense force, and there were also dedicated teams responsible for research and development.
They have seen drones both seen and not seen by others.
Like the Yinglong drone equipped by the military, outsiders only know its approximate parameters.
But they know all the internal data clearly!
But at least in terms of the body size, compared to the ones in front of them, the Yilong drone equipped by the military is like a small grasshopper seeing a giant! As for its performance, that's a different matter.
The Yilong drone equipped by the military is less than half the size of these drones!
As everyone knows, a larger size means stronger power!
Similarly, it also requires more complex flight control systems and ground communication commands!
It's easier for manned planes, but for drones, at present they have not yet solved this problem in their national defense forces.
Software is often more complex than hardware, and a small error in the code can be a disaster for drones!
And the sudden appearance of so many of them is clearly mass-produced products!
In other words, these planes not only solve the problems of flight control systems and communication, but also achieve stable mass production!
Combined with what those people just said, these planes are the express planes of that Shunfeng company.
The information contained in these planes is enough to shock their worldviews!
They naturally can't recognize the meaning of express, but even if they don't, they also know the meaning of "transportation".
They have seen transport planes many times, but such a large-scale unmanned transport plane??
"Are these drones domestically produced?"
For a long time, the old man forced down the shiver in his heart and then asked in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the young man beside the old man slightly shook his head: "I don't know, I've never heard of it before."
"……"
Hearing the young man's response, the old man fell into silence again.
After a long time, the old man looked out the window again and said solemnly, "After I get back, contact Shunfeng and see if it's possible to buy one of these drones to take a look."
"Okay, teacher" facing the old man's instructions, the young man responded by nodding immediately.
After a brief conversation, they fell into silence again.
Inside the cabin, after losing sight of the ground, everyone gradually quieted down.
Except for those who whispered to each other among acquaintances, most people either looked out the window at the white clouds in the sky or closed their eyes and began to nap directly.
…………
Meanwhile, on the ground airport, under the guidance of the responsible person, Su Heng and the president of Shunfeng, Wang Wei, arrived at the airport together.
"Great! It's wonderful!"
Looking at the twelve unmanned transport planes lined up neatly on the airport, Wang Wei's heart was filled with excitement.
With these inexpensive unmanned transport planes, he can quickly establish the Shunfeng Express Airline!
With the lowest cost, in 24 hours, delivering express all over the country!
At that time, they Shunfeng would become the fastest and most likely the largest express company in the country!
"By the way, Su President, can these drones take off and land in the northwestern province and the plateau province?"
After a long time, as if he had thought of something, Wang Wei suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and looked at Su Heng and asked.
