Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule besikhuluma ngokuthi iNASA ekugcineni inikeze kanjani inkontileka yamadola ayisigidi kuLokheed Martin ngayo kanye nabasebenzi bayo abaqeqeshiwe abasebenza ukuyothuthukisa izindiza ezithule ngomlilo, ubuchwepheshe obuthi uma sebuthuthukisiwe, i-United States Space Agency ihlele ukuthengisa kwezinye izinkampani njenge, I-Boom Supersonic.
Yiyona iBoom Supersonic okuyiyona namuhla eyi-protagonist yalesi sikhala ngenxa yokuthi, ngemuva kokwethula izibonelo ezithile baye baqinisekisa izinkampani ezifana neJapan Airlines neVirgin Group ukuthi zixhase umsebenzi wazo, bakwazile ukubeka usuku lokufika emakethe yendiza yabo entsha ephezulu, isizukulwane esisha esizoqala ukundiza emhlabeni wonke, ngokusobala ngonyaka ka-2023.
IJapan Airlines neVirgin Group kuzoba yizinkampani ezizoba nezindiza ezihamba phambili ezenziwe yiBoom Supersonic emikhunjini yazo
Njengoba sekuveziwe futhi, kanti futhi, bekulindelekile, uma amayunithi okuqala endiza ephezulu kaBoom Supersonic esekulungele ukungenisa emoyeni ngokuthengisa, izosebenza yiJapan Airlines neVirgin Group. Lezi zindiza, njengoba sekuveziwe, zizoba ne- Umthamo wabagibeli abangama-55 namandla anele uku usike uhhafu wesikhathi esithathayo ukuwela noma yiluphi ulwandle emhlabeni.
Ukubeka lokhu okuncane ngombono, sitshele, isibonelo, izilinganiso zonjiniyela abasebenza manje ekwakhiweni kwale phrojekthi, okusitshela ukuthi imodeli yabo eyinqayizivele yendiza uzokwazi ukusuka eSydney uye eLos Angeles ngamahora ayisithupha kuphela nemizuzu engama-6 esikhundleni sokusebenzisa amahora ayi-15 kuthatha namuhla ukundiza kwezentengiselwano. Ngokwenziwa kusengaphambili, kulinganiselwa ukuthi ukusuka eSydney kuya eLos Angeles ngendiza enjalo Izobiza cishe u- $ 3.500 ngohambo ngalunye kumhambi ngamunye.
Ukukwazi ukwenza indiza enjengale, ebhabhadiswe yinkampani uqobo njenge 'indiza yomphakathi esheshayo emlandweni', Onjiniyela beBoom Supersonic kuye kwadingeka basebenze ngamakhemikhali ekhabhoni abakwaze ngawo ukwenza izingxenye zanoma yisiphi isimo. Ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwalolu lwazi, onjiniyela benkampani ukwazile ukuklama nokwenza indiza elula ngiyabonga, phakathi kokunye, ukuthi le nhlanganisela ilula ukwedlula i-aluminium, enye yezinto ezisemqoka ezisetshenzisiwe namuhla ekwakheni lolu hlobo lwendiza.
I-XB-1, indiza entsha ye-Boom Supersonic, izoba namandla okufinyelela kumakhilomitha angama-2.716 ngehora
Akungabazeki ukuthi, siphila esikhathini lapho kubonakala sengathi imakethe yezindiza yezentengiselwano isiqala ukuvela futhi ngenxa yocwaningo lwalesi sigaba esisha sezindiza. Kuleli qophelo, akunakugwenywa ukubheka emuva bese ubona ukuthi, eminyakeni eminingi eyedlule, bekukhona ezinye izinhlobo zezindiza ezingaphezulu kwamandla emakethe, njengeConcorde eyaziwayo, yona leyo eyayisebenza kusukela ngo-1976 kuya ku-2003 noma leyo eyenzelwe yinkampani yaseRussia iTúpolev, eyaqala ukusebenza ngo-1975. Uma sibuyela emuva kakhulu emuva ngesikhathi, iqiniso ukuthi indiza yokuqala eyisimangaliso yaqala ukusebenza ngo-1947. Unalokhu engqondweni ... Yini enganikezwa yindiza yendiza iBoom Supersonic engcono kunokusho iConcorde?
Umqondo weBoom Supersonic obonakala ukholise opharetha abaningana ngisho namakhasimende awudluli ekusebenziseni ubuchwepheshe obuthuthuke kakhulu uku yenza izindiza ziphephe. Lokhu kungenye yemikhakha eyinhloko yephrojekthi kanye nethuba lokuthi amanani endiza ashibhile kakhulu. Lezi, izindleko eziphakeme zamathikithi nezokuphepha, bekungokhiye ababili ukuze iConcorde iyeke ukusebenza. Endabeni yeBoom Supersonic, sikhuluma ngethikithi elizoba esesithathu eshibhile kunaleso iConcorde eyayinaso ngaleso sikhathi.
