IRiyadh Air iKhusela iiNjini zeBoeing 787 Dreamliner Fleet yayo

Ukulandela isivumelwano samva nje somyalelo obanzi womzimba we-39 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, i-Riyadh Air isayine isivumelwano kwiinjini ze-90 GEnx-1B ukunika amandla iinqwelo zayo ezintsha. Lo myalelo ukwaquka iinjini ezingasetyenziswanga kunye nesivumelwano seenkonzo zeTrueChoice.

Isivumelwano sisayinwe kwi-Paris Air Show kwi-Riyadh Air chalet, apho i-airline yatyhila i-livery yayo entsha kwihlabathi emva kokubhabha kwiveki ephelileyo ngaphaya komda wesixeko saseRiyadh.

UTony Douglas, iGosa eliyiNtloko yeSigqeba saseRiyadh Air uthe, "Isivumelwano sigxininisa ukuzimisela kwethu ukwandisa kakhulu uqhagamshelwano lweSaudi Arabia kunye nehlabathi kunye nokuzalisekisa injongo yethu yokuxhuma kwiindawo ze-100 ngo-2030. I-ecosystem njengoko siqhubeka nokubumba inqwelomoya yethu entsha yemveli yedijithali ukuba ibe yenye yezona zinto zizinzileyo kunye nabathwali abahamba phambili kwihlabathi.

URussell Stokes, uMongameli kunye ne-CEO, iiNjini zoRhwebo kunye neeNkonzo ze-GE Aerospace uthe, "Siyazingca ukusebenzisana ne-Riyadh Air ukuxhasa iinqwelo zayo ezintsha kunye nokuzalisekisa umbono wayo weendlela ezide zamazwe ngamazwe. Injini ye-GE Aerospace ye-GEnx ifanelekile kwiinqwelo ze-787 kunye nokudibanisa amandla kunye nokukwazi ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamafutha kunye nokukhutshwa kwe-CO2."

I-Riyadh Air yatyhilwa kwihlabathi ngo-Matshi, kwaye oku kubonisa intsebenziswano yokuqala ye-injini kunye ne-GE Aerospace yeenqwelo zayo ezintsha ze-Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. Ukuhanjiswa kokuqala kucwangciselwe ekuqaleni kuka-2025 njengoko iRiyadh Air ijolise ekusebenzeni enye yezona nqwelomoya zintsha kwaye zizinzileyo kwihlabathi.

Usapho lwe-injini ye-GEnx luphantse lube zizigidi ezingama-50 zeeyure zokubhabha ukususela ekungeneni kwinkonzo ngo-2011 kwaye yeyona injini ithengisa ngokukhawuleza, iphezulu kakhulu kwimbali ye-GE ephantse ibe yi-3,000 yeenjini ezikwinkonzo nakwi-backlog, kubandakanywa nezincedisi.

I-GEnx-1B inika amandla amabini kuzo zonke ezintathu zeenqwelomoya ezingama-787 ezikwinkonzo. I-injini ikwabonelela nge-1.4% yokonga amafutha kwi-mission eqhelekileyo ye-787 xa kuthelekiswa nokhuphiswano lwayo, elingana ne-300,000 yeedola ngenqwelomoya ngonyaka ekongeni amafutha. Ukongiwa kwepetroli okongeziweyo kwenza ngaphezulu kwe-2 yezigidi zeeponti ezimbalwa ze-CO2 ngenqwelomoya nganye ngonyaka.
Ukumela inyathelo elikhulu eliya phambili kwitekhnoloji ye-propulsion, i-GEnx isebenzisa izinto ezilula, ezizinzileyo kunye neenkqubo zokuyila eziphambili zokunciphisa ubunzima, ukuphucula ukusebenza, kunye nokugcinwa okuphantsi, okwenza kube yinjini engcono kakhulu yokukhetha iinqwelo-moya ezihamba ixesha elide.

I-Riyadh Air, i-airline entsha ephazamisayo evela e-Saudi Arabia iya kubhabha kwiindawo ezingaphezu kwe-100, kwaye ifike kwiindwendwe ze-100 yezigidi, ngo-2030 yenza i-Riyadh City ibe yindawo ehamba phambili yohambo lwehlabathi kunye nokutyelela uBukumkani kwishishini kunye nokuzonwabisa. Inkampani yeenqwelomoya iza kuzisa inqanaba elitsha lokuqwalaselwa kweenkcukacha kumava eendwendwe kwaye inetekhnoloji eya kuphakamisa umgangatho weshishini.

Isazisi sophawu sibamba ilifa loBukumkan ngexa sisezi mini kwaye sicinga phambili ngethegi 'Ikamva Liyahamba'.

Abathathi-nxaxheba bokwabelana ngengeniso ye-GEnx yi-IHI Corporation yase-Japan, i-GKN Aerospace Engine Systems yase-UK, i-MTU yaseJamani, i-TechSpace Aero (i-Safran) yase-Belgium, i-Safran Aircraft Engines yase-France kunye ne-Samsung Techwin yase-Korea.
