Chapter 1077: Seaplane

The Georgetown Sea Rescue Team really came by planes, and took away the drowned men from the "Vladimir". They really sympathized with those who fell into the water-----it seems that the situation was really not so good just now, just look at their dejected look.
"What do you think?" Yang Meng found Xiao Peng in the cockpit, frowning and thinking, looking serious.
"Where is Pengcheng?" Xiao Peng asked.
Yang Meng pointed to the outside: "Where are Xiaoqiu and the others rubbing iron."
"Sun Pengcheng!" Xiao Peng shouted.
Sun Pengcheng ran over: "Brother Peng, you call me?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Hey! Tell me, what is the seaplane that Georgetown and the others came to rescue just now? Why do I look so familiar?"
"Familiar? Of course you are familiar. That is Yun-12." Sun Pengcheng replied.
Xiao Peng frowned, "Don't tease me anymore! Is there an amphibious version of Yun-12? Besides, how can there be Yun-12 here?"
Sun Pengcheng was stunned when he heard it: "Yes, when did our country sell to the Cayman Islands?"
The Cayman Islands is a British colony. It is not a country at all and does not have the capital to establish diplomatic relations with other countries. However, due to its low tax policy, it has attracted a lot of investment.
This is because in 1978, the Cayman Islands received the "Permanent Tax Amnesty Order" issued by the United Kingdom. There is no direct taxation here. What is personal income tax, corporate tax, inheritance tax, capital income tax, etc.? There is no direct taxation on trusts and funds.
Just like the famous M Cow Milk in China, it could not be regarded as a national enterprise in the first place. M Cow Dairy Co., Ltd. is registered in the Cayman Islands and the company headquarters is also on Hong Kong Island. In this way, they can make full use of China's preferential policies for foreign-funded enterprises in various aspects, and pay about one billion in taxes and fees each year, which can be used for survival, operation and promotion. It was not until later that Hualiang Group was fed up with 20% of the shares, and then it was considered to have a relationship with Huaxia. Before that, the big boss behind him should be an international institution such as Morgan Bank.
Of course, this is not uncommon. Giant companies such as Du Niang, Sina, Li Ning, Ali, Anta, Qihoo 360, and even the subsidiaries of China Mobile are registered in the Cayman Islands. Especially China Internet companies, which are almost 100% registered in the Cayman Islands.
This is again because of domestic laws and regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that Internet companies whose servers are in China are not allowed to be listed abroad. In order to go public, Internet companies will now register a company in Cayman, and then use this company to get listed in the Stars and Stripes.
Therefore, every year in China's "Top 500 Private Enterprises" list, there are few names like Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent-all registered in the Cayman Islands.
But this also means that it is impossible for China to sell Yun-12 to them, especially the Yun-12 seaplane Xiao Peng has never heard of. If there is a Yun-12 amphibious version, then Qianliyan’s old Yun will be able to rest early in the morning. Doesn’t this aircraft look much more atmospheric?
Sun Pengcheng picked up the satellite phone and walked out. After a while, he returned to the cab: "Brother Peng, please be clear, this is not sold to them by us, but sold to them by the people of Star Stripes."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

Sun Pengcheng explained:
This is how the Star Stripe Air Administration has certified the land-based model of Y-12, and the EDO pontoon branch of Kenmore Water Airport in Seattle has designed a special pontoon for Y-12. , Converted into a seaplane and passed the type certification of their aviation administration, and then imported Y-12, modified it and sold it out. I heard that I made a lot of money."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng nodded: "They are all sold here. It seems to be a good seller."
"Of course." Sun Pengcheng said: "80% of the world's seaplanes are in the Stars and Stripes Nation and Maple Leaf Nation, especially the Stars and Stripes Nation, which has the largest seaplane fleet in the world, and is now in the Stars and Stripes Nation. There are more than 35,000 pilots with seaplane licenses, and an additional 1,500 licenses are added every year. So the development of seaplanes over there is very good."
But what is interesting is that, despite the popularity of seaplanes in Stars and Stripes, it does not develop and research seaplanes. There are so many seaplanes in the Star-Spangled Nation, but almost all of them were researched during World War II. For example, the famous PBY-5A "Katarina" and the HU-16A "Albatross" driven by Stallone in the movie "The Expendables" are all products before 1950. After 1960, they basically gave up research on seaplanes.
In fact, the Stars and Stripes originally still attached great importance to seaplanes. For example, the Hughes H-4'Spruce Goose' transport aircraft developed by Xiao Lizi in the movie "Aviator" is as high as five stories and has a wingspan longer than a football field, much larger than China's AG600'Kunlong'. But when the plane flew in 1947, the plane only flew at 21 meters altitude for 26 seconds, so many people now think that this is not an aircraft but a ground-effect wing craft.
If the water transport aircraft is broken, then play the water fighter. Then in 1951, a more frenzied aircraft appeared, that is, the F-2Y "Sea Javelin" water jet supersonic fighter! The entire aircraft has two water skis directly under the belly of the aircraft. The working principle is the same as that of a surfboard. It turns out that no matter how designed the two water skis, the vibration problem cannot be solved, so we changed it into a skid. The plane pops up like a drift in the sea! In the end, this kind of aircraft did "float in the water" because it was abandoned because of a crash during take-off and landing on the water.
If the water fighter can't play well, then play the water bomber! Then the most frenzied seaplane in the history of Star Stripe aviation appeared. That is P6M "Sea King"! The maximum take-off weight is 83 tons! It first flew in 1955, the only four-engine jet nuclear bomber in human history. The research and development cost of that era exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars (almost four billion now). As a result, due to the safety performance of water take-off and landing, the former Both prototypes crashed. . . . . .
Since then, Star Stripe Nation has never played seaplane anymore. Up to now, there are only four countries in the world that can play large seaplanes: Maple Leaf Country, Xiong Country, Wa Country, and China. . . . . . Although the Star-Spangled Nation can be built, they are all from the 1940s and 50s. For example, the first flight of Catalina in 1932 and the first flight of the Albatross in 1947 are now common in the Star-Spangled Nation. of. . . . . . .
China has only begun to attach importance to the construction of seaplanes in recent years, including the first flight of the AG600 "Kunlong", becoming the largest seaplane in service in the world.
But there are always some'known's. It is very disdainful to see'Kunlong' going up to the sky, saying that this seaplane is no longer beautiful. People in the Stars and Stripes will not develop seaplanes. We might as well import foreign products. For example, aircraft such as the US-2 of the Japanese country, the Bombardier CL-415 of the Maple Leaf country, and the A-40 and Be-200 of the Xiong country.
Let’s not talk about whether it can be imported or not (the Japanese US-1 and US-2 seaplanes are not allowed to board and visit, the Maple Leaf Country and the Bear Country only sell castrated versions of the aircraft, the A-40 is not for sale, and the Do-200 has only a dozen so far. frame,),
The Stars and Stripes countries did not develop seaplanes because in the military, they have many overseas bases and large aircraft carriers, which can take off and land solid-fixed-wing aircraft; and for commercial flights, the old seaplanes during World War II were also used. Enough; as for firefighting, they directly have Boeing 747 modified firefighting aircraft, so they have little motivation to study seaplanes.
However, the national conditions of China and the Stars and Stripes are different. Civilian water planes are basically blank, and there are almost no large professional firefighting planes and rescue planes. Moreover, the price of this "Kunlong" is cheap, just a fraction of the other two of the "Three Musketeers" (Yun-20 transport aircraft and C919 passenger aircraft), which has a lot of room for development.
As for the military, let alone, China does not have so many overseas bases, nor so many large aircraft carriers that can take off and land solid-fixed-wing general-purpose aircraft. The'Kunlong' has a heavy voyage. It used to be from Sansha City. It takes five days to sail to Zengmu Ansha, now four hours. . . . . .
So this seaplane is tasteless for the Stars and Stripes, but for China, it is very important.
Could it be that the scientific research plans laid down by so many think tanks in China cannot keep up with one or two ‘known’ brain circuits? This incident once again shows that the so-called ‘known’ is really nothing but farting. . . . . .
However, the Star Stripe Nation does not develop seaplanes. Their experience in transforming seaplanes is beyond the reach of others. Like this Huaxia Yun-12 plane, they bought them and converted them into seaplanes for delivery. In areas with many islands like the Caribbean , It has made a lot of money-------There are so many islands here, the capacity of the 18-seat Yun-12 aircraft, the good range and the high cost performance are definitely a good thing for the development of maritime tourism and transportation. !
But now Xiao Peng felt as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly. It was obviously a Huaxia plane. If he wanted to buy it now, he had to buy a water version from Star Stripe.
Let Star Stripe Nation make this money? The beauty of thinking. I don't buy it!
It looks good to be eaten! Ganming bought a bunch of Yun-5 and parked at Qianliyan, and flew an ‘S’ in the sky for a while, and flew a ‘B’ in the sky for a while, without spending the money!
