Korean Air kutshanje waba umthengi A350 Family, emva kokufaka iodolo eqinileyo Airbus kwiinqwelomoya ezingama-33. Umyalelo ubandakanya i-27 A350-1000 kunye ne-A350-900 ezintandathu.
I-A350, enoluhlu lwayo olukhethekileyo, iyakwazi ukunika iinkonzo kuzo zonke iindlela ezikhoyo zamazwekazi zenkampani yomoya ngelixa isebenzisa amafutha angaphantsi ngama-25% kwaye ikhupha ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni okumbalwa kuneemodeli zeenqwelomoya ezindala. Ngaphaya koko, uluhlu olwandisiweyo lwe-A350 luya kuvumela inkampani yenqwelomoya ukuba icinge ngokuphonononga iindawo ezintsha zokuhanjwa ezinde.
UJason Yoo, iGosa eliyiNtloko loKhuseleko kunye nokuSebenza kunye ne-EVP kwi Air Korea, bavakalise isiqinisekiso sokuba ukudityaniswa kwe-A350 kwingqokelela yeenqwelomoya zabo kuya kuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle kwaye kuphakamise amava okuhamba xa ewonke kubakhweli bazo.
U-Benoit de Saint Exupéry, i-EVP yeNtengiso yeeNqwelo-moya zoRhwebo kwi-Airbus, ivakalise ukuba umyalelo ovela kwi-Korean Air lugunyaziso olubalulekileyo lwe-A350 njengeyona nqwelo-moya ehamba phambili. I-Korean Air iya kuxhamla ekusebenzeni okuphuculweyo kwimisebenzi yabo, kuquka ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamafutha kunye nokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni. I-A350 iya kubonelela ngeqonga eligqwesileyo lenkampani yeenqwelomoya ukuphakamisa amava ayo okuhamba ngenqwelomoya kunye nenkonzo ekumgangatho wehlabathi. I-Airbus iyakuxabisa ukuthembela okuqhubekayo kwe-Korean Air kwiimveliso zabo kwaye ijonge phambili ekuboneni i-A350 ihonjiswe kwi-livery eyahlukileyo yenqwelomoya.
I-A350 Family yamkelwa ngokubanzi njengomgca wemveliso woluhlu olude oluqhayisa ngeenguqulelo zabakhweli ezinokubhabha ukuya kuthi ga kwi-9,700 nm / 18,000 km ngaphandle kokumisa. Ngeenjini zamva nje zeRolls-Royce, inqwelo-moya isebenzisa izinto eziphucukileyo njengee-composites, i-titanium, kunye ne-alloys yale mihla ye-aluminiyam, iyenza ibe khaphukhaphu kwaye ingabizi kakhulu. Ngenxa yoko, ifumana umndilili wokusetyenziswa kwamafutha kunye nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni malunga ne-25% xa kuthelekiswa neenqwelomoya zesizukulwana sangaphambili ezinobungakanani obufanayo.
Ukusukela ekupheleni kukaFebruwari, i-A350 Family yayifumene iiodolo ezili-1,240 kubathengi abangama-59 behlabathi.
