Umphathiswa wexabiso eliphantsi laseMelika, iBreeze Airways, enekomkhulu e-Cottonwood Heights, e-Utah, ubhengeze ukuthengwa kweenqwelomoya ezili-10 ngaphezulu ze-A220-300, ukwandisa umyalelo wabo oqinisekisiweyo opheleleyo wale modeli yenqwelomoya ukuya kwi-90. umthengi omkhulu kwihlabathi jikelele kwi-A220.
NgokukaBenoît de Saint-Exupéry, uThengiso lwe-EVP, iiNqwelo-moya zoRhwebo, i-Airbus, i-A220 inamandla okusebenza akhethekileyo ayenza ibe yinqwelomoya efanelekileyo Umoya womoya opholileyo ukuzalisekisa injongo yayo yokubonelela ngeenqwelomoya ezingaphazanyiswa kwiindlela ezingahoywanga kulo lonke elaseUnited States.
Inqwelomoya ibonelela ngokusebenza okusebenzayo kunye namava okuhamba akhethekileyo, ngelixa igcina eyona ndawo incinci yekhabhoni phakathi kwenqwelomoya encinci yendlela enye emhlabeni. Ukongeza, ivelisa ungcoliseko oluncinci lwengxolo kwimimandla esebenza kuyo.
Inqwelo-moya ayinikezeli kuphela amava afanelekileyo ekhabhini kodwa inegalelo ekunciphiseni iindleko zokusebenza kweenqwelomoya kunye nefuthe lokusingqongileyo. Inoluhlu olungapheliyo lokubhabha ukuya kuthi ga kwi-3,600 yeemayile ze-nautical okanye i-6,700 yeekhilomitha. Xa kuthelekiswa neenqwelomoya zesizukulwana sangaphambili, i A220 inikeza i-25% yokutshisa amafutha aphantsi kunye nokukhutshwa kwe-CO2 kwisitulo ngasinye. Yenzelwe ngokukodwa imarike yezihlalo ze-100-150, isebenzisa i-aerodynamics, imathiriyeli ephucukileyo, kunye neenjini zeGTF zesizukulwana samva nje sikaPratt & Whitney. Nge-A220, abathengi banokonwabela i-50% yokunciphisa ingxolo yeenyawo xa kuthelekiswa neemodeli zeenqwelomoya ezindala, kunye ne-40% ephantsi yokukhutshwa kwe-NOx kunemigangatho yoshishino.
I-A220, njengazo zonke ezinye iinqwelomoya ze-Airbus, okwangoku zingasebenzisa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-50% i-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). I-Airbus iceba ukwenza zonke iinqwelomoya zayo zisebenze ukuya kuthi ga kwi-100% ye-SAF ngo-2030.
NgoDisemba ka-2021, iBreeze ifumene i-Airbus A220 yayo yokuqala kwaye ngoku isebenza ngenqwelomoya ezingama-20 (ukusukela ngoJanuwari 2024) kulo lonke elaseUnited States. UBreeze uphinde wabhengeza injongo yakhe yokuqesha kuphela inqwelo-moya equka kuphela iinqwelomoya ze-A220 kwimisebenzi yayo yorhwebo ekupheleni kuka-2024.
Ngaphezulu kwe-300 ye-A220s ihanjiswe kwiinqwelomoya ezingama-20 kumazwekazi amahlanu, kuquka i-Oceania. Le nqwelo-moya ibonelela ngokuguquguquka kokusebenza kuzo zombini iindlela zengingqi kunye nomgama omde. Ngaphezulu kwe-100 lezigidi zabakhweli baye babhabha kwi-A220, esebenza ngoku kwiindlela ezingaphezu kwe-1,350 kwaye isebenza kwiindawo ezingaphezu kwama-400 kwihlabathi liphela. Ukusukela ngoJanuwari ka-2024, malunga nabathengi abangama-30 bafake iiodolo zeenqwelomoya ezingama-900 ze-A220, beqinisa indawo yabo njengomdlali okhokelayo kwimakethi encinci yendlela enye.
