I-seaplane enkulu kunazo zonke enomusa njenge-swan

Indiza enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni, i-AG600 eyenziwe ngamaShayina, yenze indiza yayo yokuqala ngeSonto ekuseni eZhuhai, idolobha elisogwini esifundazweni saseGuangdong.

I-AG600, ihlolwe amalungu amane ezisebenzi, yasuka esikhumulweni sezindiza i-Zhuhai Jinwan ngo-9:50 ekuseni futhi yahlala emoyeni isikhathi esingangehora ngaphambi kokubuya.

Incwadi yokuhalalisela eyathunyelwa yiQembu LamaKhomanisi leKomidi Elikhulu LaseChina kanye noMkhandlu Wombuso ifundwe emcimbini wokumaka indiza yokuqala, obuhanjelwe yiPhini likaNdunankulu uMa Kai kanye nesikhulu seQembu laseGuangdong uLi Xi, kanye namakhulu ezinye izikhulu kanye ababukeli abangaba ngu-3,000 XNUMX.

Uhulumeni omkhulu wagunyaza ukuthuthukiswa kwe-AG600 ngoJuni 2009, nomsebenzi owenziwa yi-Aviation Industry Corp yase-China, umkhiqizi wezindiza ohamba phambili ezweni. Ukwakhiwa kwe-prototype yokuqala kwaqala ngoMashi 2014 futhi kwaqedwa ngoJulayi 2016.

Ngo-Ephreli, ukuhlolwa kokuqala kwetekisi kwaba yimpumelelo. Ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga, indiza yasolwandle yathola imvume kuhulumeni yokundiza okokuqala ngeSonto.

I-AG600 ingesinye sezindiza ezintathu ezinosayizi omkhulu ezithathwe emzamweni wokulangazela wesizwe wokuba umdlali osezingeni eliphezulu emkhakheni wezokundiza emhlabeni jikelele, ngokujoyina indiza yezokuthutha ye-Y-20, okuqale ukulethwa kwayo embuthweni wasemoyeni waseChina ngoJulayi. 2016, kanye nejeliner engumzimba omncane i-C919 ehlolwayo.

Indiza ehlala emanzini izoba nomsebenzi ikakhulukazi wokucisha umlilo emoyeni kanye nokusesha nokuhlenga olwandle. Ingaphinda ifakwe ukuze ihlole imvelo yasolwandle, ukuhlola izinsiza zasolwandle kanye nabasebenzi kanye nokuhlinzeka ngezinto zokuhamba, ngokusho komkhiqizi.

Inikwa amandla izinjini ezine ze-WJ-6 turboprop ezine eziklanywe ekhaya, i-AG600 inosayizi ocishe uqhathaniswe nowe-Boeing 737 kanye nesisindo esikhulu sokusuka esingamathani angama-53.5 metric. Le mininingwane iyenze yaba indiza enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni, idlula i-ShinMaywa US-2 yaseJapan kanye neBeriev Be-200 yaseRussia.

Indiza ingasuka futhi yehlele kokubili emhlabathini nasemanzini. Inebanga lokusebenza elingaphezu kwamakhilomitha angu-4,000 futhi iyakwazi ukuthwala abantu abangu-50 ngesikhathi somkhankaso wokusesha nokuhlenga olwandle.

Ukucisha imililo yasehlathini, ingaqoqa amathani angu-12 amanzi echibini noma olwandle phakathi nemizuzwana engu-20 bese isebenzisa amanzi ukubhula imililo endaweni ecishe ibe ngama-square metres angu-4,000, ngokusho kwenkampani.

U-Huang Lingcai, umklami omkhulu we-AG600, uthe abacwaningi banqobe ubunzima obuningi bezobuchwepheshe kanye nezobuchwepheshe lapho beklama indiza, njengalezo eziphathelene ne-aerodynamic ne-hydrodynamic airframe yayo kanye nomkhumbi okwazi ukumelana namagagasi olwandle.

Le nkampani ithe indiza izobaluleka kakhulu ohlelweni lokuhlenga izimo eziphuthumayo zezwe kanye nokwakhiwa kwamandla aqinile olwandle, ephawula ukuthi amashumi ezinkulungwane zabacwaningi nonjiniyela abavela ezikhungweni ezicishe zibe yi-200 zasekhaya, amanyuvesi kanye namabhizinisi ababambe iqhaza kulo msebenzi.

Isikhondlakhondla sezindiza sikahulumeni siphinde sathi amaphesenti angama-98 ezingxenye ze-AG600's 50,000-plus ahlinzekwa yizinkampani zaseShayina, echaza ukuthi le phrojekthi iyikhulise kakhulu imboni yezwe yokukhiqiza izindiza zomphakathi.

U-Leng Yixun, umphathi omkhulu wephrojekthi ophethe i-AG600, uthe i-China inamakhilomitha angaba ngu-18,000 ogwini, iziqhingi ezingaphezu kuka-6,500 nezixhobo zamatshe kanye nemboni yasolwandle ekhula ngokushesha, ngakho-ke idinga ngokushesha indiza ekwazi ukuhlinzeka ngokusekela kanye nokuqhuba izimo eziphuthumayo. ukusesha nokuhlenga olwandle olude.

I-AG600 izigqaja ngobubanzi obude bokusebenza kanye nesivinini esisheshayo uma iqhathaniswa nezindiza ezinophephela emhlane nemikhumbi. Usizo lwendiza yasolwandle luzothuthukisa kakhulu amandla eChina okuqhuba ukusesha nokuhlenga olwandle, esho.

UZhang Shuwei, iphini lomphathi jikelele we-China Aviation Industry General Aircraft, inkampani engaphansi kwe-Aviation Industry Corp yaseChina ehlanganise indiza yasolwandle, uthe inkampani ithole ama-oda angu-17 AG600s kubasebenzisi basekhaya. UZhang uthe imodeli igxile kakhulu kubathengi basekhaya, kodwa futhi izothinta imakethe yamazwe ngamazwe.

Okulandelayo, indiza izoqhubeka nokwenza izivivinyo zendiza futhi izoqala inqubo yokuthola izitifiketi, kusho umenzi.
