Njengoko usazi ngokuqinisekileyo, kuba esi ayisosihlandlo sokuqala sithethe ngalo mxholo ActualidadGadgetKwi-NASA asisebenzi nje kuphela ekuphuhlisweni kweeprojekthi ezinxulumene nokuhlola indawo, kodwa nazo zinezinye iintlobo zophando eziqhubekayo kwezinye iindawo ezininzi ezizikhangela ngazo, umzekelo kwaye njengoko kunjalo, sihlanganisene, yenza inqwelomoya yenqwelomoya yahluke kakhulu kuyo yonke into esiyaziyo, ngakumbi enkosi yayo Amandla okubhabha esibhakabhakeni ethe cwaka.
Ngolindelo, xelela ukuba olu hlobo lutsha lwenqwelomoya olucetywe yi-United States Space Agency kuluntu luphela lunento ekhethekileyo kwaye leyo iyakuba yenzelwe, yakhiwe yavavanywa ziingcali zaseLokheed Martin zokuhamba ngenqwelomoya kunye nenkampani yezomkhosi, Enye yeenkampani ezisebenzayo kweli candelo kwaye enodumo olukhulu ngenxa yenkqubela phambili eyenziwe ziinjineli zayo kule minyaka idlulileyo.
Kutheni le nto iNASA iphathise iprojekthi enje kwinkampani efana noLokheed Martin?
Ukuqonda ngcono ngcono inyani yokuba in I-NASA ityikitye ikhontrakthi exabisa phantse i-250 yezigidi zeedola no-Lockheed Martin Ukuze le yokugqibela iyile, yenze kwaye ivavanye umxholo omtsha wenqwelomoya ethe cwaka, kufuneka sithethe ngophando olwenziwe yiyo malunga nenkqubo Itekhnoloji yokuThula ngokuPheleleyo.
Ukujonga idatha encinci esele iqhubekile kolu phando, kubonakala ngathi iinjineli zikaLokheed Martin zikwazile ukwenza inkqubo eya kuvumela iinqwelomoya ukuba zifikelele kwisantya esiphezulu ngaphandle koku, ngenxa yoku, kufuneka ikhuphe loo ngxolo inkulu yaziwa njenge 'Sonic boom', eyenzeka xa inqwelomoya ifikelela kwaye idlula kwisantya sesandi. Endaweni ye 'Sonic Boom', inqwelomoya yayiza kuvelisa oko kubizwa ngokuba yi 'Low Boom', isandi esisezantsi kakhulu.
Ukubuyela kwinqwelomoya entsha ethe cwaka yeNASA, kuyacaca ukuba esi sixhobo, esele siyile senziwa saza kujoyina uluhlu lweeprojekthi ezenziwa licandelo le-X-Plane ye-NASA, kufanelekile fikelela kubude beemitha ezili-18.000 ukuphaphazela kubhabha ngesantya esimalunga neekhilomitha ezili-1.500 ngeyure. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo ngaphezulu kwedatha enomdla, nangona, njengoko isihloko salo ngeniso sisitsho, mhlawumbi eyona nto inomdla kukuba, xa isantya sesandi sidlulile, ingxolo iya kukhutshwa ekufuneka ihlale kwi Ama-decibel angama-75 esisandi sokuvalwa kocango lwemoto.
I-NASA ilindele ukuba le nqwelo-moya intsha ibe ilungile ngowama-2025
Olunye lwezibophelelo athe u-Lockheed Martin wazibophelela kuzo kukuba nemodeli entsha yenqwelomoya ilungele ukuphela kwe-2021 ukuze iimvavanyo zokuqala zentsimi zingaqala ngo-2023. Ngombulelo kwezi mvavanyo, inqwelomoya izakuqala ukubhabha esibhakabhakeni ngaphezulu kwezinye iidolophu zaseMelika, kwaye ngo-2025 izakuqala ukubhabha kwiidolophu ezisezidolophini nasezilalini.
Enkosi kwezi moya zovavanyo, i-NASA iya kuba nakho ukwenza idathabheyisi enkulu enolwazi olwaneleyo lokuqalisa Cebisa abavelisi kunye neenjineli kwihlabathi liphela ngendlela ekufuneka baqhubeke ngayo ukwenza ukuba iinqwelomoya zithule.
Njengeenkcukacha zokugqibela, xelela ukuba ayisiyiyo kuphela iprojekthi eyenziwa yiNASA namhlanje enxulumene nophuhliso lwesizukulwana esitsha senqwelomoya. Kwelinye icala, asinakusilela ukukhankanya olunye udidi lweeprojekthi ezithi zaziwe ngokuthe ngcembe kwaye, zona, zitsala umdla omkhulu kubo bonke abantu, njengenkampani Boom, efanayo exhaswa ngemali evela kwiVirgin Group kunye neJapan Airlines okanye leyo iphuhlayo, umzekelo, IAerion, Iprojekthi efuna ukwenza inqwelomoya yenqwelomoya ejolise kakhulu kwintengiso yeshishini kunye nabantu abazizityebi.
