I-Solvay ibambisana ne-UAM Novotech futhi izonikeza ilungelo lokusebenzisa uchungechunge lwayo lwezinto ezinamathelayo, ezihlanganisiwe ze-thermoplastic kanye nezinamathelayo, kanye nokusekelwa kobuchwepheshe ekuthuthukisweni kwesakhiwo sesibili se-prototype sendiza yokufika emanzini ehlanganisiwe i-“Seagull”. Indiza ihlelelwe ukundiza kamuva kulo nyaka.
I-“Seagull” iyindiza yokuqala enezihlalo ezimbili esebenzisa izingxenye ze-carbon fiber composite, lezi zingxenye zakhiwe ngokufakwa kwe-fiber okuzenzakalelayo (i-AFP), kunokuba kwenziwe ngesandla. Abasebenzi abafanele bathi: “Ukwethulwa kwale nqubo yokukhiqiza ezenzakalelayo ethuthukisiwe kuphawula isinyathelo sokuqala sokuthuthukiswa kwemikhiqizo ekwazi ukukhuliswa ukuze kube nendawo esebenzayo ye-UAM.”
UNovotech wakhetha imikhiqizo emibili kaSolvay ukuze ibe nohlelo lozalo lwezindiza olunenani elikhulu lamasethi edatha yomphakathi, ukuguquguquka kwenqubo, kanye namafomu omkhiqizo adingekayo, okudingekayo ukuze kwamukelwe ngokushesha futhi kuqaliswe imakethe.
I-CYCOM 5320-1 uhlelo lokulungiselela i-epoxy resin oluqinile, oluklanyelwe ngokukhethekile ukukhiqizwa kwe-vacuum bag (VBO) noma i-out-of-autoclave (OOA) yezingxenye eziyinhloko zesakhiwo. I-MTM 45-1 uhlelo lwe-epoxy resin matrix olunezinga lokushisa eliguquguqukayo, ukusebenza okuphezulu kanye nokuqina, olulungiselelwe ukucubungula i-vacuum bag ngomfutho ophansi. I-MTM 45-1 ingalashwa futhi kwi-autoclave.
I-“Seagull” enamandla kakhulu iyindiza ehlanganisiwe enesistimu yamaphiko agoqekayo ngokuzenzakalelayo. Ngenxa yokuma kwe-trimaran yayo, ikwazi ukwenza umsebenzi wokufika nokusuka emachibini nasezilwandle, ngaleyo ndlela inciphise izindleko zezinhlelo zokuqondisa ulwandle nomoya.
I-Novotech isivele isebenza kuphrojekthi yayo elandelayo - indiza esebenza ngogesi i-eVTOL (indiza ephumayo neyaphansi kagesi). I-Solvay izoba ngumlingani obalulekile ekukhetheni izinto ezifanele ezihlanganisiwe nezinamathelayo. Le ndiza yesizukulwane esisha izokwazi ukuthwala abagibeli abane, isivinini sokuhamba ngesikebhe esingamakhilomitha angu-150 kuya kwangu-180 ngehora, kanye nebanga elingamakhilomitha angu-200 kuya kwangu-400.
Ukuthuthwa ngendiza emadolobheni kuyimakethe ekhulayo ezoshintsha ngokuphelele imboni yezokuthutha kanye nezindiza. Lezi zindawo ezintsha ezihlanganisiwe noma ezisebenzisa ugesi zizosheshisa ukushintshela ekuthuthweni ngendiza okusimeme, okufunwa ngabagibeli kanye nempahla.
