I-Boeing and Commercial Aircraft Corp. yaseChina (i-COMAC) namuhla isayine isivumelwano esisha sokwandisa ukusebenzisana kwabo ngokubambisana kocwaningo ukuze kusekelwe ukukhula okuzinzile kwesikhathi eside kwezindiza zezentengiselwano.
Lezi zinkampani ezimbili, ezasayina isivumelwano sokuqala sokusebenzisana ngoNdasa wezi-2012, bezicwaninga izindlela zokwenza ngcono ukusebenza kahle kukaphethiloli endizeni kanye nokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwesisi esingcolisa umoya, okuhlanganisa ukusebenza kahle kwe-biofuel yezindiza kanye nokuphathwa kwethrafikhi yomoya (ATM).
Ngalesi sivumelwano esisha, esisayinwe e-Zhuhai Airshow, izinkampani zizohlola imikhakha eyisithupha yocwaningo oluzuzisayo ngokusebenzisa isikhungo esiqanjwe kabusha se-Boeing-COMAC Sustainable Aviation Technology Center. Bazoqhubeka nokushintshanisa izibikezelo zemakethe yezindiza zezentengiselwano.
“Njengoba sisondela onyakeni wama-45 wokusebenzisana phakathi kwemboni yezindiza i-Boeing ne-China, i-Boeing ne-COMAC bandisa imizamo yethu yokuqinisekisa ukukhula okusimeme kwendiza yezohwebo, ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kwayo kanye nokunciphisa umthelela kwezemvelo,” kusho u-Ian Chang, iphini likamongameli, Umphakeli. Ukuphatha Ukusebenza kanye Nokuthuthukiswa Kwebhizinisi laseShayina, Izindiza ze-Boeing Commercial. “Ucwaningo lwethu oluzuzisa kakhulu ne-COMAC luyaweseka umzamo weBoeing womhlaba wonke wokuvumela ukukhula kanye nozakwethu ukubhekana nezinselelo zemboni yethu.”
"Lezi zinkampani zombili zithuthukise ukwethembana nokuqonda phakathi neminyaka emihlanu yokusebenza ndawonye," kusho uWu Guanghui, iPhini likaMongameli we-COMAC. "Isivumelwano esisayinwe namuhla siyanwebeka futhi sizoletha ukubambisana kwethu ezingeni elisha, sinikeze amandla lezi zinkampani ezimbili ukuthi zisebenzise izinzuzo zazo ukuze zizuze imiphumela engazuzisi iChina kuphela, kodwa nomhlaba wonke."
Izindawo zocwaningo zeSustainable Aviation Technology Center zizofaka:
• Ubuchwepheshe obusekela ukuthuthukiswa kwamafutha endiza esimeme kanye nokuhlola izinzuzo zezindiza zokusebenzisa lobu buchwepheshe;
• Ubuchwepheshe be-ATM kanye nezicelo;
• Ukukhiqiza okusimeme kwemvelo, okuhlanganisa ukugaywa kabusha okuthuthukisiwe kwezinto;
• Ubuchwepheshe bokuthuthukisa indawo yekhebhini yendiza ehlobene nokunakekelwa kwemvelo kanye nokuhamba ngendiza kwabantu asebekhulile;
• Imboni entsha noma amazinga omhlaba ekongiweni kwamandla endiza kanye nokunciphisa intuthu;
• Ukuthuthukiswa kokuphepha kwendawo yokusebenza ngesikhathi sekhabhini kanye nokusebenza phansi.
Njengoba benzile kusukela ngo-2012, i-Boeing ne-COMAC izokhetha ngokuhlanganyela futhi ixhase ucwaningo lwamanyuvesi nezikhungo zocwaningo ezizinze eChina. Isivumelwano sabo sokuqala sidale i-Boeing-COMAC Aviation Energy Conservation and Emissions Reductions (AECER) Technology Centre.
Kusukela lapho, i-Boeing-COMAC AECER Centre yenze amaphrojekthi ocwaningo angu-17, okuholele esikhungweni sokubonisa i-biofuel yezindiza esishintsha imfucuza "uwoyela we-gutter" ibe uphethiloli wendiza kanye nezinhlelo ezintathu zesofthiwe ye-ATM. Lesi sikhungo sihehe ukubamba iqhaza kozakwethu bocwaningo basekhaya nabamazwe ngamazwe abayi-12.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Boeing ne-COMAC bahlela ukuvula indawo ehlangene e-Zhoushan, e-China, ezofaka ingaphakathi futhi ipende ama-737 ngaphambi kokuba i-Boeing ilethe lezi zindiza kumakhasimende aseShayina.
I-China ingenye yezimakethe zezindiza ezikhula ngokushesha emhlabeni. I-Civil Aviation Administration yaseChina isibikezele ukuthi ukuhamba kwabagibeli eChina kuzofinyelela ezigidini ezingu-485 kulo nyaka futhi kuzofinyelela abagibeli abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1.5 ngo-2030. I-Boeing ilinganisela ukuthi izindiza zaseShayina zizodinga ukuthenga izindiza ezintsha ezingaphezu kuka-6,800 ngo-2035 ukuze zihlangabezane nezikhula ngokushesha. isidingo sokuhamba ngendiza yasekhaya neyamazwe ngamazwe.
