Iinqwelo-moya ze-Airbus A320 iBoeing 737 njengeyona jet ithengisa kakhulu emhlabeni

Kugqatso lwamashumi eminyaka phakathi komenzi weenqwelomoya waseYurophu Airbus kunye nomvelisi weenqwelomoya wase-US iBoeing, Inkampani yase Seattle ibonakala isuka kwindawo ephezulu njengoko inqwelo-moya yayo yenkwenkwezi, i-single-aisle 737, ayiseyona jet ithandwa kakhulu. Ibiyeyona nqwelo-moya ithengiswa kakhulu ngalo lonke ixesha kumashumi amahlanu eminyaka yembali yayo, kodwa ulawulo lubonakala luphela.

I-Airbus isanda kufika phambi kwembangi yayo yaseMelika, kunye nejethi yosapho lwe-A320 ibambe iwonga lenqwelomoya yenqwelomoya emxinwa ethengiswa kakhulu kwihlabathi kwimodeli ye-Boeing enezibetho ezingama-737 kunye ne-737 MAX.

Njengoko amanani avela kuzo zombini izigebenga zeenqwelomoya ebonisa, i-A320 - kunye neentlobo zayo - itsale i-odolo ye-15,193 iyonke, idlula i-737 yodidi olufanayo, ene-15,136 kwiincwadi ukusuka ngo-Okthobha.

I-Boeing, nangona kunjalo, iphambi kwe-Airbus ngokuhambisa okwenyani, kodwa umsantsa uvalwa ngokukhawuleza. Ngo-Okthobha kuphela, inkampani esekwe eToulouse yathumela iinqwelomoya ezingama-77 kubathengi bayo, i-59 yazo yayiyi-A320s, ngelixa abachasi babo baseMelika babehambise iijethi ezingama-20 kuphela.

Ukuba i-Airbus ikwazile ukugcina ukukhokela kwayo, iya kuzalisekisa uthumo emva kokuqalisa iprojekthi ye-A320 kwiminyaka engama-30 eyadlulayo. Inqwelomoya yayiyilelwe ukuba icele umngeni kwi-737's hegemony kwimarike yeejethi ezinomzimba omncinci, ibe yinqwelomoya yokhetho kwiinqwelomoya ezininzi eYurophu nangaphaya.

I-Airbus ngokwayo ibanga ukuba ijethi enye yosapho lwe-A320 iyanduluka okanye ihlale kwindawo ethile emhlabeni rhoqo ngemizuzwana eyi-1.6. I-Boeing ayinazo izibalo ezinjalo, kodwa umlinganiselo kufuneka ufane.

Zombini i-A320 kunye ne-737 zibonakalisa izihlalo ezizithandathu, kodwa ngokombono womkhweli, ijethi yaseMelika iphangalele kancinane njengoko ikhabhathi yayo iyi-15cm ububanzi. I-Airbus ibamba ngokunyusa ukusebenza kakuhle kwamafutha ejethi, ukunciphisa indawo yengxolo okanye ukunciphisa iindleko zokusebenza.

Kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, nayo ifuna umntu okhuphisana naye ixesha lonke ngokuphehlelela iNeo (ukhetho lwenjini entsha) ye-A320. I-iteration entsha yehashe lokusebenza le-Airbus imiselwe ukubetha imodeli ye-Boeing's 737 MAX.

Iingozi ezibandakanya olu hlobo lwenqwelomoya zibulele abantu abangama-346, kwaye kwabekwa ityala kwindlela yokulawula inqwelomoya, kodwa eyaziwa kancinci.

Ijethi entsha yamiselwa kwenye indawo emhlabeni, ikhokelela kwizityholo zokuba iBoeing ikhawuleze yaphucula kwaye yaqinisekisa i-737 MAX ukuze ifumane i-Airbus. Ukuzama ukuphelisa le mpikiswano, umenzi wenqwelomoya wase-US uthe kule veki ukuba i-US Federal Aviation Administration isendleleni yokuqinisekisa isoftware yayo yolawulo lokubhabha phakathi kuDisemba, okuthetha ukuba ijethi inokubuyela esibhakabhakeni kulo nyaka uzayo.

Nangona kunjalo, ukuzithemba kwiinqwelomoya ze-MAX kunokuhamba ixesha elide, njengoko nabasebenzi beenqwelomoya baseMelika kuthiwa "bacenga ukuba bangabuyeli kuloo nqwelomoya."
