I-Airbus, ebonisa inqwelomoya yenqwelomoya ethi "I-Flight Lab" ye-BLADE okokuqala kumboniso omkhulu womoya, ityikitye isivumelwano kunye nabameli beqela labachaphazelekayo ukuba bangaphawuli kuphela impumelelo edibeneyo yokuzisa le nkqubo ikhethekileyo, kodwa Ngqina umnqweno wabo wokwakha kule nkqubo kwisakhelo saseYurophu soMoya ococekileyo. Abachaphazelekayo abakhoyo kunye nomphathi omkhulu weAirbus uTom Enders kulo msitho babebandakanya amalungu ePalamente yaseYurophu, iKhomishini yaseYurophu, uRhulumente waseJamani, Amazwe angamaLungu aseYurophu kunye namahlakani kwezoshishino kwiYurophu iphela.
Iprojekthi ye-BLADE, emele "Uqhekeko lweLaminar Aonator e-Yurophu", yinxalenye yesigaba sokuqala soMoya ococekileyo- inkqubo eyi-1.6 yezigidigidi ye-Euro ebisebenza ukusukela ngo-2008. Itekhnoloji yephiko kwinqwelomoya enkulu. Ijolise ekuphuculeni imeko yonyawo lwezinto eziphilayo, izisa ukuncipha kwenqwelomoya kwiipesenti ezili-10 ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezintlanu ezikhutshiweyo ze-CO2. I-Airbus isebenze neqela labangaphezulu kwamaqabane angama-20 aphambili * kunye nabaxhasi abangama-500 abavela kulo lonke elaseYurophu. Ngapha koko, ngenxa yobungakanani bayo kunye nokuntsonkotha kwayo, le projekthi yabakho kuphela ngenxa yenyathelo loPhando lwaseYurophu elicocekileyo.
Ngo-Septemba ngo-2017 i-Airbus 'A340 laminar-flow Flight Lab yovavanyo lwenqwelomoya (A340-300 MSN001) yenza uhambo lwayo lwentombi oluyimpumelelo kwaye ukusukela ngoko ibibandakanyeka kuvavanyo oluyimpumelelo lokujonga iimpawu zephiko kwindiza. Inqwelomoya yovavanyo yeyokuqala emhlabeni ukudibanisa iphrofayili yempiko ye-laminar enesakhiwo esiyinyani sangaphakathi.
Ngaphandle inqwelomoya inezinto ezimbini ezimeleyo zangaphandle ezinamaphiko, ngelixa ngaphakathi kwikhabhathi kukho isikhululo seengcali sokuvavanya inqwelo moya (FTI). Uhlengahlengiso olubanzi kwi-A340-300 yovavanyo lweebhedi zenqwelo-moya lwenzeka ngexesha leqela elisebenza iinyanga ezili-16 eTarbes, eFrance, ngenkxaso yamaqabane amaninzi kwimizi-mveliso kwiYurophu iphela. Ngokwethekhinoloji yovavanyo, 'izinto zokuqala' eziphawulekayo zibandakanya ukusetyenziswa kweekhamera ze-infrared ukubeka esweni iindawo zokuhamba zokuhamba laminar kunye nejenali ye-acoustic elinganisa ifuthe le-acoustics kwi-laminarity. Enye yokuqala yinkqubo ebonakalayo yokubonisa umlinganiso olinganisa ukusilela ngokubanzi ngexesha lokwenyani ngexesha lokubhabha. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku i-Flight Lab yenze iiyure ezingama-66 zokuhamba. Iinqwelomoya ziya kuqhubeka kude kube ngu-2019, ezinikele ekuhloleni izinto ezinefuthe kumgangatho wokukhanya.
