Umthengisi weehabhu zeemoto zefayibha yekhabhoni iCarbon Revolution (Geelung, eOstreliya) ibonakalise amandla kunye nokukwazi kweehabhu zayo ezikhaphukhaphu kwizicelo zeenqwelo-moya, yaphumelela ekuveliseni ihelikopta ye-CH-47 Chinook yamavili adibeneyo ephantse yavavanywa.
Eli vili lomthengisi weemoto leTier 1 lilula ngama-35% kuneenguqulelo zeenqwelo-moya zemveli kwaye liyahlangabezana neemfuno zokuqina, libonelela ngendawo yokungena kwezinye izixhobo zeenqwelo-moya eziphakamisa ngokuthe nkqo kunye nezomkhosi.
Amavili abonakaliswe ngendlela ebonakalayo anokumelana nobunzima bokusuka obuphezulu be-CH-47 obuyi-24,500 kg.
Le nkqubo inika ithuba elihle kumthengisi weemoto weTier 1 iCarbon Revolution yokwandisa ukusetyenziswa kwetekhnoloji yayo kwicandelo leenqwelo-moya, ngaloo ndlela inciphisa kakhulu ubunzima boyilo lweenqwelo-moya.
“La mavili anokubonelelwa kwiinqwelo-moya ezintsha ze-CH-47 Chinook kwaye afakwe kwakhona kumawaka ee-CH-47 ezisebenza kwihlabathi liphela ngoku, kodwa ithuba lethu lokwenyani likwizicelo ze-VTOL zasekuhlaleni nezomkhosi,” bacacisa abasebenzi abafanelekileyo. “Ngokukodwa, ukonga ubunzima kubaqhubi bezorhwebo kuya kubangela ukonga okukhulu kweendleko zepetroli.”
Abo babandakanyekayo bathi le projekthi ibonisa amandla eqela ngaphaya kwevili lemoto. Amavili enzelwe ukuhlangabezana neemfuno eziphezulu ze-CH-47 zomthwalo othe nkqo ongaphezulu kwe-9,000kg ngevili ngalinye. Xa kuthelekiswa, imoto esebenzayo ifuna malunga ne-500kg ngevili ngalinye kwelinye lamavili alula kakhulu eCarbon Revolution.
“Le nkqubo yeenqwelo moya izise iimfuno ezininzi ezahlukeneyo zoyilo, kwaye kwiimeko ezininzi, ezi mfuno bezingqongqo kakhulu kunezeemoto,” utshilo umntu. “Inyani yokuba sikwazile ukuhlangabezana nezi mfuno size senza ivili elikhaphukhaphu bubungqina bamandla e-carbon fiber, kunye netalente yeqela lethu yokuyila amavili aqinileyo kakhulu.”
Ingxelo yokuqinisekiswa okubonakalayo engeniswe kwiZiko loPhuhliso loKhuselo ibandakanya iziphumo ezivela kuhlalutyo lwezinto ezilinganiselweyo (i-FEA), uvavanyo olungaphantsi, kunye noyilo lwesakhiwo seeleya zangaphakathi.
“Ngexesha lenkqubo yoyilo, siqwalasele nezinye izinto ezibalulekileyo, ezinje ngokuhlolwa kwangaphakathi kunye nokukwazi ukwenziwa kwevili,” uqhube watsho umntu. “Oku kubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuba iiprojekthi ezinje ziyasebenza kwihlabathi lokwenyani kuthi nakubathengi bethu.”
Isigaba esilandelayo sale nkqubo siza kubandakanya ukuvelisa nokuvavanya amavili eeprototype zeCarbon Revolution, apho kunokwenzeka ukuba andise nakwezinye izicelo zeenqwelo-moya kwixesha elizayo.
