The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

　　 The plane has stopped, and the boarding car is leaning up-the height of its front door from the ground is really exaggerated. Zhang Nan felt that the angle of the boarding ladder was steeper than that of the 747 that was connected to him.

　　 The reporters of various news media affiliated to their own group pointed their guns at the cabin door. Soon, the cabin door opened, and a dozen men in casual clothes came out from inside.

　　 This is a random company staff, there are security officers, and also mechanical engineers. They all went to Russia to study before.

　　 Joseph of the Red Devil was also among these people. After these people got off the plane quickly, it was the crew members who got off the plane.

　　 When the first crew member appeared at the hatch, the shutter sounded!

　　 The four crew members disembarked one after another. The groups in Figure 144 consist of the captain, the co-pilot, and the random mechanic. Most of them are equipped with backup pilots.

　　 All four of them wore woolen coat-style Russian civil aviation uniforms, which seemed to be old-fashioned.

　　 The leader looks like he can be in his 50s. This should be a random mechanic.

　　 As for the other three pilots, at this glance, they are probably the oldest on average in the world!

　　 Zhang Nan greeted him. At this time, all the news reporters temporarily stopped filming, which was arranged in advance.

　　 The boss doesn’t like to appear in front of public cameras, so it’s best not to block yourself!

Here, Joseph, who got off the plane in advance, introduced the boss. First of all, the captain who got off the plane last: On more important occasions or special circumstances, when the flight crew disembarks, the captain walks last. This is the world aviation industry. An unwritten rule of.

　　 I can see that this person should be nearly 70 years old, but his spirit is very good!

　　 Very old pilots are still flying and can still fly. There must be something extraordinary about them. Otherwise, they should have been grounded for many years and go home for retirement.

　　"Boss, this is the chief captain of your Tu-144 fleet, Comrade Edward Allan. On December 31, 1968, he served as the captain and performed the first test flight of the Tu-144 prototype.

　　 In addition, at that time, our comrade Ailan had been the chief test pilot of the Tupolev Design Bureau for many years! "

　　 The chief test pilot of the Tupolev Design Bureau, an absolute world-class test pilot!

　　 Joseph speaks English, and all pilots can speak English, eliminating the trouble of translating.

　　 As far as Zhang Nan knew before, the oldest captain in his fleet would fly for himself at most for another two years, but he would not retire immediately after that.

　　 The Tu 144 fleet still needs him. The pilot of this type of aircraft is out of gear. This Edward Allan will also be responsible for a period of world pilot training.

　　 Zhang Nan shook hands with him, smiled and said in Russian: "обропо.жаловать.в.нашу.большую.семью, товаридАйленд!"

　　 "Welcome to join our big family, Comrade Edward Allan!", simple daily expressions in Russian, Zhang Nan has learned some in these years.

　　 "I'm glad to serve you, Mr. Allen..." The Edward Allan replied in English. This time it was introduced by an old friend and hired with a high salary.

　　Ilan, who has retired for a few years, can't stop the favorable conditions, and his family has also been newly assigned a very good job. This is a preparation for another three to five years of struggle.

　　 The second person introduced was Boris Kuznetsov, who was nearly sixty years old, who served as the co-pilot for today's flight.

　　 Don’t really use Comrade Kuznetsov as the co-pilot. According to Joseph’s introduction, it turns out that this man was the captain a long time ago.

　　As early as November 1, 1977, when the Tu-144 carried out the first passenger operation flight, he was the captain of the first flight, which was 18 years ago!

　　 The third place, today’s backup pilot, Boris-**f.

　　 This is the youngest of the three pilots. He is less than 45 years old this year, but he is not a waiter!

　　 Not only did he have the qualifications to be the captain of the Figure 144, he was also a test pilot of the Tupolev Design Bureau very early. Together with Edward Allan, he successfully made an emergency landing on the Figure 144, which was the only time in history.

　　 On May 23, 1978, the brand-new -77111 aircraft had a fatal failure during a routine test flight near Moscow. That was the aircraft's sixth flight.

　　 The right wing fuel line of the No. 77111 aircraft was cracked during flight. When the auxiliary power unit was activated, the leaked fuel was ignited and a large-scale fire was caused!

　　 The husband and Ailan were calm and calm, and piloted the plane on a flat ground near Yegoryevsk to make a very successful abdominal landing.

　　 The supersonic passenger plane made an emergency landing with a raging fire. This technical and psychological quality is beyond words!

However, due to the characteristics of the aircraft, there were casualties during the emergency landing: the lower nose of the aircraft was shoveled into the ground and was broken, and the flying debris hit the fuselage, which happened to kill the two flight engineers sitting in the cabin. NS.

The last one is a random mechanic in his fifties, Yuri Shelevi Olstorf, the top figure in the figure 144 mechanic who can fly randomly at present, and his knowledge of this aircraft can be comparable to his Of ten fingers.

　　 These four people are the current standing crew of this aircraft, the oldest but also the most experienced crew.

　　 Captain Ailan invited Zhang Nan to board the plane for inspection, which was also planned.

　　 Zhang Nan has not boarded a supersonic passenger plane and is very interested. Under the guidance of the captain, he pulled his daughter by the plane.

　　 As soon as I entered the cabin, there was no sense of depression as I imagined. The interior feels very good, but it feels that the aircraft is slightly narrower than the 737 cabin.

　　 I first looked at the cockpit. The instrumentation is quite traditional. The joystick follows the Tupolev Design Bureau’s one-pot tradition, just like the configuration of a large bomber.

　　 The cabin is divided into three sections, the front section is a 2 plus 1 configuration, a total of 12 seats, and there is a fixed table in front of the two side-by-side seats in the second row.

　　 This is the first-class configuration. Compared with ten years ago, the seat configuration has not changed, that is, the seats are replaced with more comfortable and spacious leather seats.

　　 This is Zhang Nan's first large private jet without a bedroom. It is not that there is not enough space and no place to set it up, but it is not necessary at all!

　　 Picture 144, there is no need for a bedroom, it is fast enough to catch up with time!

　　 Domineering!

　　 Its cabin is very long, and then it is divided into toilets and cloakrooms, and there are two cabins at the back.

　　 Ordinary cabin, originally equipped with 3 plus 2 seats, now all the seats have been changed, slightly wider than before, 2 plus 2, the seat spacing has also been increased, each cabin removes one row, and the ride becomes more comfortable.

　　 Of course, the passenger capacity of the whole plane is also a little less, and it has become the same as the same type, 105 people.

　　 3 people in flight attendant, enough, but few passengers.

　　 There are no entertainment facilities such as LCD screens behind the cabin seats. It is just the word "fast". There is no need for these bells and whistles and small pieces of time to pass the time on the plane.

　　 There is only one display screen per cabin, which is installed in the front of each cabin. The upper part will display real-time speed and altitude during the flight, as well as the temperature and air pressure inside and outside the cabin.

　　 When it flies at the usual cruising altitude, the temperature outside the cabin is minus sixty degrees below zero, and the temperature of the front skin is more than two hundred degrees!

　　 There is a question, Zhang Nan is very concerned and asked Edward Allan: "How far can this plane fly?"

　　" Sir, according to the official public information, it is 6,500 kilometers, but this is only about 70 tons of fuel, and the most prototype engine is used. That is the oil tiger.

　　 For political reasons, this public data has never been modified.

　　Before this modification, the second-type engine was used. With an actual oil load of 80 tons, it can easily fly the route from Moscow to Vladivostok, so there is still 20% remaining oil.

　　 The actual maximum fuel capacity of Figure 144 is 93 tons. With the engine of Figure 160, it can actually fly the Pacific route, at least from San Francisco to Shanghai, China.

　　 If it is flying from east to west, there will be more route options. "

　　 Good fellow, at least tens of thousands of kilometers!

　　 The earth is spinning, San Francisco Fly China is chasing the earth and flying, the other way around, the actual flight distance is much closer.

　　 At this time, the captain added: "This plane is actually very safe. The accident in 1973 was actually to avoid a French fighter who took pictures illegally. The action exceeded the strength limit of the plane.

　　 The French didn’t admit it, saying that it was our illegal operation and the strength of the plane. It was a pity that my old buddies, my former co-pilot was the captain of the flight at the time.

　　 The reason I made an emergency landing in 1978 was the quality of the pipeline. After that, the quality control was very strict, not to mention that the quality control of this modification was stricter than that of the space shuttle.

　　 It is safe and can provide you with the most reliable service, sir. "

　　 "You will be working hard recently. You have to take a cargo plane and take a few routes that I usually take. Get familiar with ~www.readwn.com~Zhang Nandao.

　　 When Edward Allan heard it, he smiled and said, "This is work, sir. When that happens, Boris and I will fly by ourselves and get familiar with the airport over there."

Zhang Nan just wanted to ask a question in his mind, but after reacting, he did not say: In addition to the large and medium-sized cargo planes of his own fleet, there are also a few Il-76s that have not yet arrived. The others are all safe. The product of Tonov Design Bureau.

　　 This one has been the chief test pilot of the Tupolev Design Bureau for at least 20 years since at least the 1960s.

　　Different design bureau products, it is estimated that such a veteran pilot cannot be difficult.

　　 After thinking about it, he still asked: "Captain Ailan, how many types of aircraft can you fly?"

　　 "The Soviet mass-produced transport aircraft will do, no matter what era, especially all passenger planes and bombers of the Tupolev Design Bureau.

　　 There are also fighters of the older MiG and Sukhoi series that can also fly. They have average technology, and they are older at first. It is estimated that high overload will not be enough.

　　 It is estimated that the old models will be fine, the technology is the same, and the new ones will not work. I have never contacted them. "

The child Yuchen sitting on the seat listened to the conversation between the two, and felt that this guy who could be a grandfather was very good, so he asked curiously: "Hello, ask the kind of big, big and powerful 160 Can you fly bombers too?"

　　 Edward Allan looked embarrassed, and finally smiled and said: "Yes, this beautiful little angel, I can fly the Tu160 bomber, and it flies very well."

　　 In the year and month of the Tu160 test flight, he was still a test pilot at the Tupolev Design Bureau.
