I-Delta Air Lines iyalele inqwelomoya ezintlanu ezongezelelweyo ze-A220-100, ezisa kwi-95 inani elipheleleyo lee-odolo ezibekwe, kuquka zombini i-A220-100 kunye ne-A220-300s. Inkampani yeenqwelomoya yeyokuqala ukukhetha olona khetho lonyukileyo lobunzima bokuthatha uhambo lweenqwelomoya zayo zonke ukusuka ngo-2020.
I-Airbus ibhengezwe ngoMeyi ukuba iya kwandisa ubunzima obuphezulu bokuhamba (MTOW) kwi-A220 nge-2,268 kg (i-2.3 metric tonnes). I-MTOW entsha iya kwandisa izakhono zoluhlu oluhlukeneyo nge-450nm ukuya kwi-3,400 nm ye-A220-100 kunye ne-3,350nm ye-A220-300.
I-Delta yayiyi-US yokuqaliswa komthengi kwi-A220, ibeka umyalelo wokuqala we-aircraft ye-75 ngo-2016 kunye nokubhukisha i-15 eyongezelelweyo ngoDisemba 2018. Ngalo myalelo wamva nje, ii-odolo ze-Delta zizonke ze-45 A220-100 kunye ne-50 A220-300s.
I-Delta ye-A220-100s iveliswa e-Mirabel, e-Québec, ngelixa i-A220-300s iya kwakhiwa kwiplanti entsha yendibano yase-US ngoku esakhiwayo kwi-Mobile, e-Alabama kufuphi nendawo yendibano ekhoyo ye-Airbus A320.
Kwilungiselelo elahlukileyo, i-Airbus kunye ne-Delta basayine imemorandam yokuqonda engabopheleli kwi-Delta TechOps ukubonelela nge-A220 yokulungiswa kwecandelo kunye neenkonzo zempahla ye-Airbus 'A220 Flight Hour Services inkqubo yolondolozo-ngeyure. Le ntsebenziswano icwangcisiweyo iya kuvumela i-Airbus ukuba iqhubele phambili ekuphuculeni inkqubo yeeNkonzo ze-Flight Hour (FHS) eyimpumelelo kubathengi be-A220 ngokwakha kwi-Delta TechOps eqinisekisiweyo yokulungiswa kwecandelo kunye namandla okulawula kunye nobuchule be-Airbus kubunjineli bokugcinwa, ulawulo lwe-inventory, kunye nezisombululo zeenkonzo ezintsha.
I-A220 kuphela kwenjongo yenqwelomoya eyenzelwe i-100-150 yemarike yezihlalo; ihambisa ukusebenza ngokungafunekiyo kwamafutha kunye nokuthuthuzelwa kwabahambi ngeenqwelomoya kwinqwelomoya enye. I-A220 idibanisa i-aerodynamics ye-state-of-the-art, izixhobo eziphambili kunye ne-PW1500G ye-PW20G ye-injini ye-turbofan yokubonelela ubuncinci iipesenti ezingama-220 zokutshisa amafutha kwisitulo ngasinye xa kuthelekiswa neenqwelo moya zangaphambili. I-AXNUMX inika intsebenzo yenqwelomoya enye enkulu.
Ngencwadi yoku-odola yeenqwelo moya ezingaphezu kwama-536 ekupheleni kukaMeyi, i-A220 inazo zonke iziqinisekiso zokuphumelela isabelo sengonyama semarike yeenqwelo-moya ezizitulo ezili-100 ukuya kwezingama-150 eziqikelelwa ukuba zimele ubuncinane iinqwelo-moya ezingama-7,000 kule minyaka ingama-20 izayo.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- With an order book of more than 536 aircraft at the end of May, the A220 has all the credentials to win the lion's share of the 100- to 150-seat aircraft market estimated to represent at least 7,000 aircraft over the next 20 years.
- In a separate arrangement, Airbus and Delta have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding for Delta TechOps to provide A220 component repair and material services for Airbus' A220 Flight Hour Services maintenance-by-the-hour program.
- The new MTOW will increase the respective maximum range capabilities by 450nm to 3,400 nm for the A220-100 and 3,350nm for the A220-300.
