I-Airbus A320neo, indiza yakamuva yesizukulwane esifushane nesiphakathi nendawo, manje isiyasebenza isuka eMunich. Kusukela kuvulwe unyaka, zine I-A320neo izindiza bezisebenza enkampanini yaseMunich. I-Airbus entsha sha izofika eMunich ekupheleni kukaJanuwari, kanti enye izolandela ngoFebhuwari. Uhlelo lwenzelwe ukuthi imikhumbi yaseMunich A320neo ikhule ibe yizindiza eziyisishiyagalolunye ekupheleni kuka-2020.
“Kusukela manje, i-Airbus A320neo izothula kakhulu futhi ilondoloze imvelo emizileni emifushane naphakathi nendawo. Izindiza zingumphelelisi ophelele wemikhumbi yethu yobude obude be-Airbus A350, nayo endiza ngophethiloli kahle nangokuthula isuka eMunich. Sitshala imali eyizigidigidi zama-euro ezindizeni zakamuva futhi ngenxa yalokho sithatha isibopho sezindiza ezisimeme, ”kusho uWilken Bormann, oyi-CEO Lufthansa IHub Munich.
Izindiza ezindala zakamuva zinezinjini ezithuthukisiwe futhi zithuthukise i-aerodynamics, evumela ukuncipha okukhulu komsindo nokukhishwa kwe-CO2. I-Airbus A320neo isebenzisa cishe amaphesenti angama-20 kaphethiloli omncane kumgibeli ngamunye kunamamodeli afanayo. Ngaphezu kobuchwepheshe benjini obusha, amaphiko azophinde afakelwe “oshaka” abasanda kuthuthukiswa (amaphiko ezimpiko). Lokhu kubangela izinzuzo ze-aerodynamic ezenza ukusetshenziswa okuphansi kwephethiloli.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, umugqa womsindo we-A320neo oqala uyisigamu nje kuphela ngobukhulu njengaleyo ye-Airbus A320. Onke ama-A320neos azofakelwa ama-vortex generator amasha, nawo anciphise umsindo. Ngakho-ke i-A320neo yenza umnikelo omkhulu ekunciphiseni umsindo osebenzayo. ILufthansa Group iyalele ukuthi kube nezindiza ezingama-neo ezingama-149 sezizothunyelwa ngonyaka ka-2025.
