Umhlinzeki wezindawo zokupaka izimoto ze-Carbon fiber Carbon Revolution (Geelung, Australia) ubonise amandla kanye nekhono lezindawo zokupaka izimoto ezilula zokusetshenziswa kwezindiza, waletha ngempumelelo indiza enophephela emhlane iBoeing (Chicago, IL, US) CH-47 Chinook enamasondo ahlanganisiwe cishe aqinisekisiwe.
Leli sondo lomqondo lomhlinzeki wezimoto le-Tier 1 lilula ngo-35% kunezinhlobo zezindiza zendabuko futhi lihlangabezana nezidingo zokuqina, linikeza indawo yokungena kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza zezindiza eziphakanyisiwe kanye nezempi.
Amasondo asetshenziswe ngendlela ebonakalayo angamelana nesisindo esiphezulu sokusuka se-CH-47 esingu-24,500 kg.
Lolu hlelo lunikeza ithuba elihle kumhlinzeki wezimoto we-Tier 1 Carbon Revolution lokwandisa ukusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe balo emkhakheni wezindiza, ngaleyo ndlela kuncishiswe kakhulu isisindo semiklamo yezindiza.
“La masondo angatholakala ezindizeni ezintsha ze-CH-47 Chinook futhi afakwe kabusha ezinkulungwaneni zezindiza ze-CH-47 ezisebenza emhlabeni jikelele njengamanje, kodwa ithuba lethu langempela lisezinhlelweni zezinye izindiza zomphakathi nezempi ze-VTOL,” kuchaza abasebenzi abafanele. “Ikakhulukazi, ukonga isisindo kwabasebenzi bezentengiselwano kuzoholela ekongeni okukhulu kwezindleko zikaphethiloli.”
Labo abathintekayo bathi lo msebenzi ubonisa amakhono eqembu ngale kwesondo lemoto. Amasondo aklanyelwe ukuhlangabezana nesidingo somthwalo ophezulu we-CH-47 oqondile ongaphezu kuka-9,000kg ngesondo ngalinye. Uma kuqhathaniswa, imoto esebenza kahle idinga cishe ama-500kg ngesondo ngalinye kwelinye lamasondo alula kakhulu eCarbon Revolution.
“Lolu hlelo lwezindiza lulethe izidingo eziningi ezahlukene zokuklama, futhi ezimweni eziningi, lezi zidingo zaziqinile kakhulu kunezezimoto,” kuphawula umuntu. “Iqiniso lokuthi sikwazile ukuhlangabezana nalezi zidingo futhi sisakha isondo elilula liwubufakazi bamandla e-carbon fiber, kanye nethalente lethimba lethu lokuklama amasondo aqinile kakhulu.”
Umbiko wokuqinisekiswa okubonakalayo othunyelwe eSikhungweni Sokusungula Izinto Zokuzivikela uhlanganisa imiphumela evela ekuhlaziyweni kwezinto ezilinganiselwe (i-FEA), ukuhlolwa kwesilinganiso esingaphansi, kanye nomklamo wesakhiwo sezendlalelo zangaphakathi.
“Ngesikhathi senqubo yokuklama, sicabangele nezinye izici ezibalulekile, njengokuhlolwa kwangaphakathi kanye nokukhiqizwa kwesondo,” kuqhubeka umuntu. “Lokhu kubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi amaphrojekthi anjengalawa ayasebenza ezweni langempela kithi nakumakhasimende ethu.”
Isigaba esilandelayo salolu hlelo sizobandakanya ukukhiqiza nokuhlola amasondo e-prototype e-Carbon Revolution, okungenzeka ukuthi akhulele kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza zezindiza esikhathini esizayo.
