事業與生活的空中助推器

林海·Bell429機主·廣西地王集團董事長

決定購買商務直升機，我是根據公司的發展壯大順勢而為。因為直升機的低速、懸停、小面積場地垂直起落等特點，所以它在國外經常被用來巡視社區、樓盤項目，而地王集團主要以高端寫字樓房地產開發為主，兩者的結合可以為VIP客戶在接泊以及樓盤巡視時提供更優質、更便捷的服務。

任何在空中飛行的航空器，最重要的一定是安全性。在選擇直升機時，我對歐直、羅賓遜、蜂鳥等品牌都做了大量調研和了解。Bell429的雙發動機配置是最先令我動容的，其次它時尚、大氣的外形，尊貴舒適的客艙也是讓我心動的地方。

空重不到2噸的Bell429屬于輕型直升機，體積和重量相對重達6噸的中型直升機AW139和S76等機型都要低很多。但就客艙容積來講，我感覺Bell429并不遜色，6.16立方米的客艙容積也是輕型直升機里客艙較大的，由此帶來一系列空間上的優勢，完全沒有給我擁擠的感覺。Bell429的出廠標配機型參考目錄價約為700萬美元，6名乘客的載客量對我的商務飛行或家庭出行而言已經足夠。如果想要更大的座椅，座艙可以改為4座，空間大而且十分舒適與豪華，安裝艙內降噪設置后，可使內艙安靜和舒適。

Bell429的航程達676千米，可以滿足我在廣西境內以及周邊省份的出行需求。例如從南寧到柳州或者桂林、北海，駕駛車輛都需花費3～5小時，但乘坐Bell429可以將路途時間縮短到1～2小時內。對于所有企業家而言，充分合理地利用時間意味著創造更高的價值，從這個角度講，直升機是一種高效的工作設備。

其實除了是一名乘客，我還是一名資深的航空愛好者，并有多年飛行經歷。現在我已考取私用飛行駕駛員執照，獲得Bell429駕駛資格。有時候出行，我喜歡親自駕駛，感受飛行駕駛樂趣。

I bought a VIP helicopter to meet the growing demand of my group. Helicopters are widely used in foreign countries for building inspection as it can fly at low speed， standstill， and take off and land without runway. My group mainly develops office building， so a VIP helicopter offers a convenient option for picking up my VIP customers and taking them to inspect the buildings.

Safety is the top priority for any aircraft. Through my research on helicopter brands including Eurocopter， Robinson， and Hummingbird， Bell429 impresses me the most for its twin engine design， trendy look， and comfortable cabin.

As a light helicopter， Bell429 weights less than 2 tons， much lighter than the 6 ton AW139 and S76. But it has the largest cabin in its class. 6.16 cubic meters and 6 seats can well satisfy my business and family travel needs. You can also reconfigure it into four seats and furnishing noise reducing materials to make it more quiet and comfortable.

With a range of 676km， Bell429 can meet my needs for traveling within Guangxi and to surrounding areas. It takes 3-5 hours for me to get from Nanning to Liuzhou， Guilin， or Beihai by car in light traffic， but with helicopter， it only takes me 1 to 2 hours. For entrepreneurs， the saved time could as well mean more value created.

Apart from being a passenger， I am also a veteran aviation enthusiast. I have obtained a private pilot license for Bell429. Sometimes， I will fly the helicopter myself to enjoy the pleasure of flying.
