徐立冬·首航直升機通用航空公司董事長
在決定購買機型前,我們與美國、意大利、法國等著名的直升機制造廠商都有密切接觸,并多次去生產地參觀、考察。在我看來,一款合格的商務直升機,除了要有最基本的寬敞客艙,優秀的續航性和航程,以及低噪音,在內飾的細節上也要精益求精。
高貴的內飾設計,風格化座椅和座艙可以營造出舒適、個性的氛圍,配合安靜迅捷的駕駛,客戶才能體驗商務飛行帶來的尊貴。而歐直的VIP直升機均融入了愛馬仕和奔馳的設計理念和元素。在擁有同級別直升機所具有的性能之外,由奢侈品品牌帶來的細節感受也很符合首航直升機“從細節中讓客戶體驗優質服務的理念”。
EC135出廠標配的目錄參考價為700萬美元,標準客艙設置可以載6名乘客,相比Bell429和MD902等同一級別的直升機,EC135最大735千米的航程和278千米/小時的飛行速度也不遜色。EC135的窗隔式函道尾槳也能有效地減少因尾槳損毀而造成的事故可能性,而且由于直升機的機身長12.16米,寬2.67米,高3.51米,這意味著它需要一個比Bell429和MD902小一些的機庫。
國內直升機商務出行的潮流近幾年發展很迅速,特別是北上廣深等大城市,嚴重的堵車現象更使越來越多的人意識到時間效率的重要性。北京作為高端商務人士和政府高官聚集的城市,這兩年也興起了直升機商務出行的熱潮。北京CBD區域的健一公館、奧體中心宏繡會館、望京潤澤會、頤和園附近的健壹景園等十幾個市內地點都設有起降點。從未來衛星城圍繞大都市的發展形態來看,商務直升機在市內出行、短途城際出行上的價值將越來越明顯。
The helicopter travel and relief market has been growing rapidly in China over the past few years, particularly in business leader and statesmen concentrated Beijing, where many upscale neighborhoods have built helicopter landing spaces. Capitalcopter is the first operator to offer helicopter charter service from Beijing (outside the third ring road) to the rest of the country.
VIP in details
I visited manufacturers in the U.S., Italy and France before I select my helicopter type. In my opinion, a VIP helicopter should not only have spacious cabin, appropriate range, and low noise, but should also have finely crafted interior. Elegant design and stylish seats could create a unique atmosphere to compliment the comfort of flying. Eurocopter also partners with Hermes and Mercedes Benz in its VIP helicopter interior design. Its luxury in details is high aligned with the service philosophy of Capitalcopter, which is to ensure “customers can experience quality service in details”.
EC135 has a 735km range and 278km/h speed and adopts a vectored thrust ducted propeller design to reduce propeller caused accidents. It is 12.16 meters long, 2.67 meters wide, and 3.51 meters tall, which means it saves hangar space compared with Bell429 and MD902.
