I-Solvay isebenzisana ne-UAM Novotech kwaye iza kubonelela ngelungelo lokusebenzisa uthotho lwayo lwezinto ezinamathelayo, ezisebenzisa i-thermoplastic composite kunye nezincamathelisi, kunye nenkxaso yobugcisa yophuhliso lwesakhiwo sesibini somzekelo wenqwelo-moya yokufika emanzini e-hybrid "Seagull". Le nqwelo-moya icwangciselwe ukubhabha kamva kulo nyaka.
I-“Seagull” yinqwelo-moya yokuqala enezihlalo ezimbini esebenzisa izinto ezidityanisiweyo ze-carbon fiber, ezi zinto zenziwe nge-automatic fiber placement (AFP), endaweni yokucubungula ngesandla. Abasebenzi abafanelekileyo bathi: “Ukwaziswa kwale nkqubo yemveliso ezenzekelayo ephucukileyo kuphawula inyathelo lokuqala ekuphuhlisweni kweemveliso ezinokulinganiswa ukuze kubekho imeko-bume esebenzayo ye-UAM.”
UNovotech ukhethe iimveliso ezimbini zikaSolvay ukuba zibe nenkqubo yofuzo lweenqwelo-moya enenani elikhulu leeseti zedatha zikawonke-wonke, ukuguquguquka kwenkqubo, kunye neefom zemveliso ezifunekayo, eziyimfuneko ukuze kwamkelwe ngokukhawuleza kwaye kuqaliswe imakethi.
I-CYCOM 5320-1 yinkqubo yokulungiselela i-epoxy resin eyomeleleyo, eyenzelwe ngokukodwa ukwenziwa kwe-vacuum bag (VBO) okanye i-out-of-autoclave (OOA) yeendawo eziphambili zesakhiwo. I-MTM 45-1 yinkqubo ye-epoxy resin matrix enobushushu obuguquguqukayo bokuphilisa, ukusebenza okuphezulu kunye nokuqina, elungiselelwe ukucutshungulwa kwe-vacuum bag ephantsi koxinzelelo. I-MTM 45-1 inokunyangwa nakwi-autoclave.
Inqwelo-moya edibeneyo ene-“Seagull” yinqwelo-moya exutyiweyo enenkqubo yamaphiko asongekayo ngokuzenzekelayo. Ngenxa yokwakheka kwe-trimaran yayo, iyenza umsebenzi wokuhla nokusuka emachibini nakwiilwandle, ngaloo ndlela inciphisa iindleko zeenkqubo zokuqhuba ulwandle nomoya.
I-Novotech sele isebenza kwiprojekthi yayo elandelayo-inqwelo-moya esebenzisa umbane wonke i-eVTOL (inqwelo-moya yokuthatha nokuhla ngombane ngokuthe nkqo). I-Solvay iya kuba liqabane elibalulekileyo ekukhetheni izinto ezifanelekileyo ezidityanisiweyo nezincamathelisayo. Le nqwelo-moya yesizukulwana esitsha iya kukwazi ukuthwala abakhweli abane, isantya sokuhamba ngenqanawa esiziikhilomitha ezili-150 ukuya kwezili-180 ngeyure, kunye nomgama ophakathi kweekhilomitha ezingama-200 ukuya kwezingama-400.
Uthutho ngenqwelo moya lwasezidolophini lurhwebo olusakhulayo oluya kutshintsha ngokupheleleyo amashishini ezothutho kunye neenqwelo moya. La maqonga axutyiweyo okanye asebenzisa umbane kuphela aya kukhawulezisa utshintsho oluya kuthutho ngenqwelo moya oluzinzileyo, olufunekayo ngexesha elifanelekileyo.
