Uvavanyo lwe-American Airlines 'Eco-Friendly' kuvavanyo lweTrans-Atlantic ukubonisa ipetroli, izibonelelo zokonga ikhabhoni kwitekhnoloji ye-NextGen

I-PARIS - Xa i-American Airlines Flight 63 isuka eParis isiya eMiami ngo-10 am ngexesha lendawo ngoLwesine, i-11 kaJuni, iya kuqalisa uhambo olujolise ekuboniseni ukuba iinqwelomoya ze-Atlantiki zinokuqhutywa kancinci kwaye zincinci.

Ngokusebenzisa i-Atlantiki ye-Interoperability Initiative yokunciphisa i-Emissions (AIRE), i-American iya kuba yi-airline yokuqala yase-US ukuvavanya iteknoloji yesizukulwana esilandelayo kunye neenkqubo eziza kunciphisa kakhulu ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kunye nokugcina amafutha kwiindlela ze-Atlantiki. Uvavanyo luya kuqhutywa ngexesha lenqwelomoya ecwangcisiweyo eqhelekileyo ukuze iMelika ifumane izibonelelo zexesha lokwenyani.

I-AIRE, inyathelo elidibeneyo phakathi kweFederal Aviation Administration (FAA), iKhomishini yaseYurophu, kunye neenqwelomoya ezininzi, yenzelwe ukukhawulezisa ukusetyenziswa kwetekhnoloji entsha kunye neenkqubo zokusebenza, ezinefuthe elithe ngqo ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kunye nongcoliseko lwengxolo ngokunjalo. ukugcina amafutha. Inxalenye yeprojekthi ye-AIRE ibandakanya imiboniso yenqwelomoya yesango ukuya esangweni ukuvavanya iinzuzo zobuchwepheshe eziya kusetyenziswa kunye ne-FAA ye-NextGen yolawulo lwenkqubo yolawulo lwezomoya.

“Kubalulekile ukuba ishishini lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya lisebenze kunye namaqabane ethu oLawulo lweNdlela yoMoya ukubonisa izibonelelo zetekhnoloji ye-NextGen namhlanje. Ngokusebenzisa le teknoloji ngokukhawuleza, singenza amanyathelo okwenene kunye nentsingiselo yokunciphisa impembelelo yethu kwindalo, ukwandisa umthamo wenkqubo, kunye nokunciphisa ukulibaziseka kwezithuthi zomoya, "utshilo uBob Reding, uSekela Mongameli oLawulayo waseMelika - Imisebenzi. “Ukusebenzisa itekhnoloji ye-NextGen yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yeenzame zokusingqongileyo zaseMelika kunye nokonga amafutha. Ezi nzame sele zibonise ukongiwa kwepetroli ngaphezulu kwe-110 yezigidi zeelitha ngonyaka kwaye zanciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni nge-2.3 yeebhiliyoni zeeponti ngo-2008.

Ukusebenzisa inqwelomoya ye-Boeing 767-300, i-American Flight 63 iya kubhabha ukusuka eParis uCharles De Gaulle kwaye ifike kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseMiami ngo-1:55 pm EDT. Inqwelomoya iya kuqhuba iindlela ezininzi zolondolozo lwepetroli, kubandakanywa iteksi ene-injini enye ekundulukeni nasekufikeni, ukunyuka nokuhla ngokuqhubekayo, indlela efanelekileyo phezu kwamanzi, kunye “nokufika okulungiselelweyo.” Uninzi lwezi nzame sele ziziimpawu eziphambili zeFuel Smart, inkqubo eqhubekayo yokugcinwa kwamafutha yabasebenzi baseMelika. Kwi-2009, i-American ijolise ukugcina i-120 yezigidi zeegaloni ze-jet fuel kunye nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni nge-2.5 yeepounds zeebhiliyoni.

Uhlalutyo lwedatha ye-post-flight yi-FAA, iKhomishini yaseYurophu, kunye neMelika iya kugqiba i-carbon kunye nokugcinwa kwepetroli efunyenwe kwi-flight demonstration. I-FAA kunye ne-AA iya kuthi emva koko iqhube uvavanyo lweenyanga ezimbini eMiami ukuqhubeka nokuvavanya iteknoloji yesizukulwana esilandelayo kunye neenkqubo.

IMelika kudala iyinkokeli ekuphuculeni ukusebenza kakuhle kokuhamba ngenqwelomoya phezu kweAtlantiki. Ngapha koko, ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo, i-American yaba nguvulindlela kusetyenziso lwesiqhelo lweenqwelomoya ezineenjini ezimbini kwiinqwelomoya ezidlula elwandle, ezitshintshe ngokusisiseko ukusebenza komoya. Ukuza kuthi ga ngelo xesha, phantse zonke iinqwelomoya zamazwe ngamazwe zaziqhutywa ngenqwelomoya ezineenjini ezintathu nezine. Iinzame zaseMelika zokuvula iAtlantiki kwiinqwelomoya ezineenjini ezimbini zikhokelele ekubeni iBoeing kunye neAirbus zitshintshe yonke indawo ukusebenzisa iinqwelomoya ezineenjini ezimbini kwiinqwelomoya. Oku kubangele ukuncitshiswa okukhulu kokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kwiinqwelomoya ezindala kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kwamafutha kulo lonke ishishini.
