I-Airbus yembule i-MAVERIC (Imodeli Yendiza Yokuqinisekisa Nokuhlola Izilawuli Eziqinile Ezintsha) umbonisi wayo wesilinganiso sobuchwepheshe “wephiko elihlanganisiwe” lombonisi.
Kumamitha angu-2 ubude kanye namamitha angu-3.2 ububanzi, nendawo engaphezulu ecishe ibe ngu-2.25m², i-MAVERIC ihlanganisa idizayini yendiza ephazamisayo, enamandla okunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli ngamaphesenti angafika kwangu-20 uma kuqhathaniswa nendiza yamanje enendawo eyodwa. Ukucushwa "komzimba wamaphiko ahlanganisiwe" kuphinda kuvule amathuba amasha ohlobo lwesistimu ye-propulsion kanye nokuhlanganiswa, kanye nekhabhinethi eguquguqukayo ukuze uthole ulwazi olusha lwabagibeli abagibele.
Yethulwe ngo-2017, i-MAVERIC yaqala ukubheka esibhakabhakeni ngoJuni 2019. Kusukela lapho umkhankaso wokuhlola indiza ubulokhu uqhubeka futhi uzoqhubeka kuze kube sekupheleni kwe-Q2 2020.
“I-Airbus isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusafufusa ukuvula ikusasa lendiza. Ngokuhlola ukumiswa kwezindiza eziphazamisayo, i-Airbus iyakwazi ukuhlola amandla azo njengemikhiqizo yesikhathi esizayo,” kusho uJean-Brice Dumont, i-EVP Engineering Airbus. “Yize ungekho umugqa wesikhathi oqondile wokungenela inkonzo, lo mbonisi wezobuchwepheshe angaba nesandla ekuletheni ushintsho ekwakhiweni kwezindiza zezentengiselwano ukuze kube nekusasa elisimeme ngokwemvelo embonini yezindiza.”
I-Airbus isebenzisa amandla ayo ayisisekelo kanye namakhono obunjiniyela nokukhiqiza, ngokubambisana eduze nohlelo olusha olunwetshiwe lwe-ecosystem, ukusheshisa imijikelezo yocwaningo nentuthuko evamile. Ngokwenza lokhu i-Airbus iyakwazi ukuzuza ubufakazi bemiqondo, ngezinga eligculisayo nesivinini, ngaleyo ndlela iqhubekisela phambili ukuvuthwa nokwandisa inani layo.
Nge-AirbusUpNext, uhlelo locwaningo, i-Airbus njengamanje isebenza kumaphrojekthi amaningi ababonisi ngokuhambisana; I-E-FAN X (i-hybrid-electric propulsion), i-fallo'fly (indiza “emise okwe-v”) kanye ne-ATTOL (I-Autonomous Taxi Take-Off & Landing).
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- By doing this Airbus is able to achieve proof of concepts, at a convincing scale and speed, thereby driving forward maturity and increasing their value.
- Airbus is using its core strengths and capabilities of engineering and manufacturing, in close collaboration with an extended innovation ecosystem, to accelerate traditional research and development cycles.
- Through AirbusUpNext, a research program, Airbus is currently working on a number of demonstrator projects in parallel.
