How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 843 - 339: The New Plane

However, to be fair, the first impression this airplane gave Qin Miao was quite good.

Since he had gained quite a bit of knowledge about airplanes, even though Qin Miao's first instinct was to judge the plane's first impression based on its proportions, body curvature, and paint design.

But now Qin Miao subconsciously judged the quality of an airplane from its aerodynamic perspective, drag coefficient, lift coefficient, the rationality of the landing gear design, engine output, and range.

But in Qin Miao's view, every detail of this Gulfstream G650 was just right.

From both the exterior and the internal performance, it gave Qin Miao a very comfortable feeling.

Most importantly, this airplane was given for free.

...

After gaining a general understanding of the airplane's shape and aerodynamic layout, Qin Miao, Qimeng, and his mother, under the guidance of Sousan Smith, took a brief tour of Qin Miao's airplane.

"Mr. Qin, please allow me to introduce: the Gulfstream G650." Smith, while introducing the airplane from his company, had a tone full of pride and delight.

"What makes us most proud about the Gulfstream G650 is that it is equipped with two Rolls-Royce BR725 engines. During testing, the BR725 reached a top speed of 0.995 Mach, meaning that if conditions permit, this airplane can achieve brief supersonic flight. According to our strength testing on the airplane's body, the Gulfstream G650's body can sustain stable long-term flight at a speed of 1.05 Mach.

This is why the Gulfstream G650 beneath your feet is currently the fastest civilian jet in the world.

Along with its faster speed, the Gulfstream G650 also boasts a maximum range of 13,000 kilometers, making it the fastest and longest-range Gulfstream model currently available for sale. It's akin to the F1 of civilian airplanes.

Our G650 can comfortably, safely, and swiftly take you anywhere in the world you wish to go within 24 hours.

Moreover, engineers have paid particular attention to the cabin's environment design. The space in the cabin is longer and wider compared to the G600, accommodating up to 18 passengers simultaneously.

The G650 also comes with a kitchen and a restroom with independent ventilation, and the cabin pressure is designed to be very suitable, ensuring that passengers feel quite comfortable even at high altitudes.

Cruising at an altitude of 15,545 meters, its cabin pressure is only equivalent to 1,487 meters. Cruising at 12,497 meters in altitude, cabin pressure is equivalent to 853 meters.

I imagine given your profession, Mr. Qin, you should understand what these figures imply in terms of passenger comfort.

Finally, and what we are most proud of, the G650 not only has a full kitchen and bar but also a variety of entertainment designs, including satellite phones, wireless internet, a full suite of professional gaming equipment, and a small gym, all tailored for you."

After speaking this passage smoothly without any stutters, Smith also took Qin Miao on a complete tour of the airplane.

Afterward, the group returned to the boarding area where Smith introduced the captain and a flight attendant of this airplane to Qin Miao.

This flight attendant looks quite decent and fits the Asian aesthetic, roughly earning a score of 7.5 out of 10.

However, Qin Miao didn't have much emotional fluctuation over this. One reason is Qin Miao is easily contented, and after being with Qimeng, Qin Miao barely thinks about other women.

Another reason is that this is ultimately a foreigner, and directly mismatches Qin Miao's XP system, so upon meeting her, Qin Miao just politely said hello and didn't even ask for her name.

It's worth mentioning that this entire crew and airplane were gifted to Qin Miao by Gulfstream Company. But unlike the airplane's complete gifting, Gulfstream Company only advanced the crew's salary for one year, and their wages will need to be covered by Qin Miao himself after a year.

But this sum of money is trivial to Qin Miao; their salaries combined might not even exceed what Qin Miao earns from attending a sponsor event.

In reality, Qin Miao was already quite satisfied after acquiring the airplane, and then knowing Gulfstream had assembled a crew for him and even covered the crew's salary for another year, Qin Miao felt a bit embarrassed.

Before departure, Qin Miao even asked Smith whether he needed him to do an endorsement or something.

But the other party very politely said: "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for supporting our work, but you must know that with your influence, merely choosing our products is the best support and advertisement for us.

I hope the flying experience on this airplane won't let you down."

Since the other party refused, Qin Miao didn't insist on advertising for them, and after sincerely thanking him, the other party politely took leave.

Then the captain of Qin Miao's airplane, Michael Sanchez, communicated with Qin Miao about the route to France and approximately when they would land if nothing unexpected happened.

To say the least, Gulfstream does possess strength.

Qin Miao's normal booked Emirates Airlines flight from Abu Dhabi to Paris takes about five hours.

Whereas the Gulfstream G650 takes a little over four hours, and the whole process doesn't require Qin Miao to wait for anything.

Whenever he gets to the airport, he can get in line on the runway waiting for the tower's call.
