Izindiza Ezintsha Zikagesi ZaseRolls-Royce Ziyasuswa

1. URolls-Royce wenze omunye umzamo kwirekhodi lomhlaba ngendiza yawo esebenza ngogesi wonke.
2. Le ndiza yokuqala inika inkampani ithuba lokuqoqa idatha yokusebenza okubalulekile kumandla kagesi endiza kanye nasekuqhubeni amandla endiza.
3. Ekuthuthukisweni uhlelo oluphelele lokuhambisa amandla kagesi epulatifomu yalo, noma ngabe lokho kungukusuka okumi mpo nokufika (i-eVTOL) noma indiza yabagibeli.

URolls-Royce umemezele namuhla ukuphothulwa kwendiza yokuqala kagesi wayo wonke Umoya Wokusungula indiza. Ngo-14: 56 (BST) indiza yaya esibhakabhakeni iqhutshwa amandla ayo kagesi angama-400kW (500 + hp) ngebhethri elincane kakhulu elake lahlanganiselwa indiza. Lesi bekuyisinye isinyathelo esiya emzameni wokuqopha umlando wendiza kanye nesinye isinyathelo esibalulekile ohambweni lomkhakha wezindiza olubhekise ekuhlukaniseni ngamatshe.

UWarren East, isikhulu esiphezulu se- Rolls-Royce, wathi: “Indiza yokuqala Umoya Wokusungula yimpumelelo enkulu yethimba le-ACCEL neRoll-Royce. Sigxile ekukhiqizeni intuthuko yezobuchwepheshe umphakathi odinga ukuhlukanisa ezokuthutha kuwo wonke umoya, umhlaba, nolwandle futhi ubambe ithuba lezomnotho lenguquko ku-zero zero.

“Lokhu akukona nje ukwephula irekhodi lomhlaba kuphela; ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukile be-battery kanye ne-propulsion technology obenzelwe lolu hlelo bunezicelo ezijabulisayo zemakethe ye-Urban Air Mobility futhi zingasiza ekwenzeni 'i-jet zero' ibe ngokoqobo. ”

UNobhala Wezebhizinisi wase-UK uKwasi Kwarteng uthe: “Le mpumelelo, kanye namarekhodi esethemba ukuthi azolandela, kukhombisa ukuthi i-UK isalokhu ihamba phambili ekuthuthukisweni kwezindiza. Ngokusekela amaphrojekthi afana nalawa, uhulumeni usiza ekuqhubekiseleni phambili umngcele, ecindezela ubuchwepheshe obuzosiza ukutshalwa kwezimali futhi kuvule izindiza ezihlanzekile ezidingakalayo ukuqeda umnikelo wethu ekuguqukeni kwesimo sezulu. ”

Ngalesi sikhathi sokuqala sendiza, abakwaRolls-Royce bazobe beqoqa imininingwane ebalulekile yokusebenza kwamandla kagesi nendiza yokundiza. Uhlelo lwe-ACCEL, olufushane ngokuthi “Ukusheshisa ukufakelwa komoya kweNdiza,” lufaka phakathi abalingani abalulekile i-YASA, abakhiqizi bezimoto zikagesi nabalawuli, kanye nokuqala kwezindiza i-Electroflight. Ithimba le-ACCEL liqhubekile nokwenza izinto ezintsha ngenkathi linamathela ekuqhekekeni komphakathi kukaHulumeni wase-UK nakwimihlahlandlela yezempilo.

Uhhafu woxhaso lwephrojekthi uhlinzekwa yi-Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), ngokubambisana noMnyango Wezebhizinisi, Amandla Necebo Lezimboni kanye ne-Innovate UK.

Isikhulu esiphezulu se-Aerospace Technology Institute, uGary Elliott, uthe: “I-ATI ixhasa amaphrojekthi afana ne-ACCEL ukusiza i-UK ithuthukise amakhono amasha futhi ihole ukuhola kubuchwepheshe obuzohlukanisa izindiza. Sihalalisela wonke umuntu osebenze kuphrojekthi ye-ACCEL ukwenza indiza yokuqala ibe yimpumelelo futhi sibheke phambili emzameni wokuqopha umlando wejubane ozobamba imicabango yomphakathi ngonyaka lapho i-UK izosingatha i-COP26. Indiza yokuqala yeSpirit of Innovation ikhombisa ukuthi ubuchwepheshe obusha bunganikeza kanjani izixazululo kwezinye zezinselelo ezinkulu emhlabeni. ”

Le nkampani yenzela amakhasimende ayo uhlelo oluphelele lokuhambisa ugesi lwesikhulumi sayo, noma ngabe lokho kuyi- ukusuka kagesi mpo nokwehla (eVTOL) noma izindiza zabagibeli. Le nkampani izosebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obuvela kuphrojekthi ye-ACCEL bese ibusebenzisa kwimikhiqizo yalezi zimakethe ezintsha. Izici ezifunwa “ngamatekisi omoya” kumabhethri zifana kakhulu nalokho okwenzelwe i- Umoya Wokusungula, ukuze ikwazi ukufinyelela ngejubane le-300 + MPH (480+ KMH) - okuyilokho okuqondiswe kukho ukuzama irekhodi lomhlaba. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uRolls-Royce no-airframer Tecnam njengamanje basebenzisana neWiderøe, inkampani yezindiza yesifunda eScandinavia, ukuletha indiza yabagibeli enamandla kagesi emakethe yabagibeli, okuhlelwe ukuthi ilungele ukulethwa kwemali ngo-2026.

AbakwaRoll-Royce bazibophezele ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi imikhiqizo yabo emisha izohambisana nokusebenza kwenothi ngo-2030 futhi yonke imikhiqizo izobe ihambisana ne-zero zero ngo-2050.
