Kwiintsuku nje ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo besithetha ngendlela i-NASA ethe ekugqibeleni yanikezela ngayo ikhontrakthi yesigidi ku-Lockheed Martin ngenxa yayo kunye nabasebenzi bayo abaqeqeshekileyo ukuya kusebenza Inqwelo moya ethe cwakaItekhnoloji ethi yakuba iphuhlisiwe, i-United States Space Agency icwangcise ukuthengisa kwezinye iinkampani ezinje, umzekelo, UBoom Supersonic.
Ngokuchanekileyo yiBoom Supersonic ethi ngoku ibe ngumlinganiswa ophambili wale posi ngenxa yokuba, emva kokubonisa iiprototypes ezininzi ngazo Ndiqinisekisile iinkampani ezinje ngeJapan Airlines kunye neVirgin Group ukuba zixhase ngezimali umsebenzi wazoBakwazile ukuseta umhla wokufika kwintengiso yenqwelomoya entsha, isizukulwana esitsha esiya kuqala ukubhabha kwihlabathi liphela, ngokucacileyo ngo-2023.
I-Japan Airlines kunye neQela leVirgin ziya kuba ziinkampani eziza kuba neenqwelomoya ezingaphezulu kwendalo ezenziwe yiBoom Supersonic kwizithuthi zazo
Njengoko kutyhilwe kwaye, kulindeleke ukuba, xa iiyunithi zokuqala zeenqwelomoya zeBoom Supersonic zikulungele ukuya emoyeni zorhwebo, ezi ziya kuqhutywa yiJapan Airlines kunye neVirgin Group. Ezi nqwelomoya, njengoko kutyhilwe, ziya kuba nefayile ye- Isikhundla sabakhweli abangama-55 namandla aneleyo oku usike kwisiqingatha sexesha elifunekayo lokuwela naluphi na ulwandle emhlabeni.
Ukubeka okokugqibela kancinci, yithi, umzekelo, uqikelelo lweenjineli ezisebenza ngoku kuphuhliso lwale projekthi, ezisixelela indlela eyinqwelomoya Uyakwazi ukuhamba usuka eSydney uye eLos Angeles ngeyure ezi-6 kunye nemizuzu engama-45 endaweni yokusebenzisa iiyure ezili-15 kuthatha namhlanje ngenqwelomoya ngenqwelomoya. Ngokuhamba kwangaphambili, kuqikelelwa ukuba usuka eSydney usiya eLos Angeles kwindiza enjalo Iya kubiza malunga ne-3.500, XNUMX yeedola kuhambo ngomhambi ngamnye.
Ukuphuhlisa inqwelo moya ngolu hlobo, ubhaptizwe yinkampani uqobo 'Iinqwelomoya ezikhawulezayo kwimbali yoluntu', iinjineli zaseBoom Supersonic kuye kwafuneka zisebenze nekhabhoni iikhompawundi ezithe zakwaziyo ukwenza iindawo zayo nayiphi na imeko. Enkosi ngokusetyenziswa kwale nto, iinjineli zenkampani ndikwazile ukuyila kunye nokwenza inqwelomoya elula enkosi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, kwinto yokuba le khompawundi ikhaphukhaphu kune-aluminium, enye yezinto eziphambili ezisetyenzisiweyo namhlanje ekwenziweni kolu hlobo lwenqwelomoya.
I-XB-1, i-Boom Supersonic's moya entsha, iya kuba namandla okufikelela kwi-2.716 yeekhilomitha ngeyure
Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, siphila kwixesha apho kubonakala ngathi intengiso yenqwelomoya eqala ukuvela kwakhona ngenxa yophando lolu didi lutsha lweenqwelomoya. Okwangoku, akunakuphepheka ukujonga ngasemva kwaye ubone ukuba, kwiminyaka emininzi ngoku, bekukho olunye udidi lweenqwelo moya ezingaphaya kwemarike, ezinje ngeConcorde eyaziwayo, eyayisebenza ukusukela ngo-1976 ukuya ku-2003 okanye leyo yayilwa ngu inkampani yaseRussia iTúpolev, eyaqala ukusebenza ngo-1975. Ukuba sibuyela emva phaya, inyani yeyokuba inqwelo moya yokuqala yokuqala yaqala ukusebenza ngo-1947. Inale nto engqondweni ... Yintoni enokubonelelwa yindiza ye-Boom Supersonic ebhetele kunokuba ithi iConcorde?
Uluvo lweBoom Supersonic ebonakala ngathi iqinisekisile abaqhubi abaninzi kunye nabathengi abadlulanga ekusebenziseni itekhnoloji ephezulu kakhulu yenza iinqwelomoya zikhuseleke. Le yenye yeentloko eziphambili zeprojekthi kunye nokubanakho ukuba Amaxabiso eenqwelomoya atshiphu kakhulu. Ezi, ixabiso eliphezulu lamatikiti kunye nokhuseleko, yayingamaqhosha amabini ukuze iConcorde iyeke ukusebenza. Kwimeko yeBoom Supersonic, sithetha ngetikiti eliza kuba lixabiso lesithathu elingabizi ngaphezulu kuneConcorde ngelo xesha.
