Iinqwelomoya ze-X, uninzi lwazo ziyilelwe yi-NASA, ziye zasebenza ngokwesiko ukuphanda uninzi olungavakaliyo kwimida yetekhnoloji ye-aerospace yexesha ngalinye. Kwaye eyokugqibela kubo, iX-57 Maxwell, ayizokwahluka kwezangaphambili, nangona ngeli xesha izakuphucula ulwazi kunye nokusebenza kweenqwelomoya zombane.
I-X-57 isekwe kwi-Tecnam P2006T, inqwelomoya elula eneenjini ezimbini zomlilo, eziza kuguqulwa ngokuthe ngcembe ukuze zibe moya yombane. Isigaba soku-1 seprojekhthi siqulathe ukuvavanya iTecnam P2006T, isixhobo esithengwe yiNASA ukuba sibe neeparameter esinokuthi siyithelekise nayo xa iphinde yenziwa yombane, kwelinye icala kusenziwa uvavanyo olufanelekileyo iinjini zombane eziza kusetyenziswa ngohlobo lwamaphiko akhwele kwilori.
Inqanaba lesibini liya kubandakanya ukubuyisela endaweni ye-P2006T iimoto zothotho ngombane ezinobunzima malunga nesiqingatha sezoqobo kunye nokwenza iimvavanyo ezihambelanayo ukujonga ukuba zihamba njani inqwelomoya kunye nabo kwaye ke kamva ziqokelele idatha ukuthelekisa Iimpawu zohlobo oluqhelekileyo kunye nohlobo lweemoto ezimbini.
Kodwa ukucwangciswa kokugqibela kukaMaxwell kunomdla ngakumbi, ukusukela ukuba amaphiko okuqala e-P2006T ayakutshintshwa ngamanye amade kwaye anciphileyo aphoEsikhundleni sesibini, akuyi kubakho kwaye zingabi ngaphantsi kweenjini ezilishumi elinesine. Ezilishumi elinambini zazo, ezintandathu kwiphiko ngalinye, ziya kusetyenziswa ngokudibeneyo neinjini eziphambili, eziya kuthi zisiwe kumanqwanqwa amaphiko, kwisigaba sokunduluka kunye nokwehla, nangona ziya kwenziwa zingasebenzi xa inqwelomoya ifikelela kwisantya esaneleyo ukubhabha isebenzisa kuphela iinjini eziphambili; izixhobo zakho ziya kusonga xa zingasetyenziswanga ukunciphisa utsalo ngokuchasene nomoya obhudlayo.
Eyona njongo iphambili yeX-57 Maxwell kukubona ukuba, njengoko izifundo zisitsho, ingaba iyabhabha kwisantya esifanayo sokuhamba ngenqanawa njenge-P2006T apho isekwe kodwa ichitha phakathi kwe-75% okanye i-80% yamandla angaphantsi, ukongeza, isibonelelo esongezelelekileyo iya kuba kukubonisa iindleko zokusebenza ezingama-40 zeepesenti ezisezantsi kunaleyo yenqwelomoya. Inqwelomoya ngaphandle kokukhutshwa kweC02 -Nangona kufuneka sibone ukuba uvela phi umbane ogcinwe kwiibhetri zeenqwelomoya- kwaye ngenqwelomoya ehamba moya ethe cwaka ikwayimicimbi ekufuneka ihlolwe ukusuka indlela entle kakhulu.
Ngapha koko lisekhona ixesha elide ukuba lihambe de amandla ombane athandwe kwiinqwelomoya, njengoko ubunzima obunzima beebhetri buya kwenza iX-57 ibe sisihlalo esihlala abantu ababini, ukuphulukana nezihlalo ezibini xa kuthelekiswa ne-P2006T yoqobo. Kodwa ukuba asisothuki kwaphela xa sibona iimoto zombane, mhlawumbi kungekudala ngekhe simangaliswe kukubona iinqwelomoya zombane. Igama likaMaxwell, ngasendleleni, yimbeko kuJames Clerk Maxwell, ngenkulungwane ye-XNUMX ifiziksi yaseScotland eyavelisa ithiyori yeklasikhi ye-electromagnetic.
Iinqwelomoya X
Los inqwelo moya X Luthotho lweenqwelomoya zovavanyo zaseMelika (kunye nezinye iirokethi) ezisetyenziselwa ukuvavanya itekhnoloji entsha kwaye zihlala zigcinwa ngokufihlakeleyo ngexesha uphuhliso lwayo.
Eyokuqala kolu ngcelele lwenqwelomoya, iBell X-1, yaziwa ngokuba yinqwelomoya yokuqala ukoyisa isithintelo sesandi, isiganeko esifezekileyo ngo-1947. Inqwelomoya eyalandelayo u-X yanikezela ngeziphumo zophando ezibalulekileyo, kodwa yinqwelomoya yenyakatho ye-Amerika eyi-X-15 yasekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1960 yafumana udumo olulinganiswa nolo yeX-1.
Iinqwelomoya X ukusuka kwinombolo 7 ukuya kwi-12 yayizizijukujuku, kwaye ezinye zeemoto bezingenamntu. Uninzi lweenqwelomoya ze-X azikaze zilindelwe ukuba zingene kwimveliso epheleleyo, kwaye zimbalwa kuphela ezivelisiweyo. Ngaphandle kweLokheed Martin X-35, okhuphisana ne-Boeing X-32 kwiNkqubo yoBumbano lweStrike yokuLwa kwaye yaqhubeka yaba yi-F-35 Lightning II.
