I-Boeing iguqula ama-F-16 abe ama-drones

Ithimba le-R & D leBoeing ligxile ekwakhiweni kwephrojekthi engaguqula umhlaba we-aeronautics njengoba sazi. Izilwi eziningi zamanje zingasetshenziswa kabusha ukuthi zibe ama-drones, ngaleyo ndlela zigweme ukulimala kokulwa, ngaphezu kwezinzuzo lokhu okukhona. Ama-F-16 Fighting Falcons, amenyezelwe ukuthi aphelelwe yisikhathi, aphila impilo yesibili ngenxa yale phrojekthi yeBoeing, siyabona kuvidiyo engaphakathi kwendatshana. Kodwa-ke, laba balwi ngeke babe nalutho olusetshenziswayo empini, kunalokho basetshenziswa njengezinjongo lapho kwenziwa.

Ngalokhu sisho ukuthi zisetshenziswa emoyeni ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza kwezikhali ezintsha bukhoma futhi ziqonde, ukufeza ukulingiswa okuphelele kwesimo sangempela sokulwa emoyeni. Ngale ndlela, izikhali ezifakwe kulaba abasha zizokwethenjelwa kakhulu. Igama elinikezwe le F-16 uma seliguqulwe laba yi-drone, yi-QF-16, kanti izindleko zalo zifinyelela kuma-euro angaphezu kwesigidi esisodwa. Inqubo yokuguqula la manyunithi abe yizindiza ezingenamuntu iqala ngokususa konke okungadingekile nokufakwa kohlelo olusha lwe-elektroniki olubhekele "ukuhambisa indiza."

Uhlelo olusha lokulawula luthatha indawo yomuntu, futhi manje lusetshenziswa yi-US Air Force ukuzijwayeza ngezinhloso zangempela. Akukona okokuqala, i-F-4 Phantoms yayivele isetshenziswa njengama-drones, noma kunjalo, ngokusho kuka I-Popular Mechanics ne-Avionics Magazine, i-QF-4 endala isiqala ukuba yindlala futhi sekuyisikhathi sokuyishintsha. Mhlawumbe isikhathi sizofika lapho abashayeli abangabantu besetshenziswa ngokuphelele, njengoba nje kunenqubekela phambili ephawulekayo ekwenzekeni okuzenzakalelayo ezingeni lezimoto ezihlakaniphile. Konke kumayelana nesikhathi.
