Helikopita yoyamba ya Airbus imawuluka mothandizidwa ndi mafuta okhazikika oyendetsa ndege

Airbus inalengeza kuti ndege yake ya H225 yachita ulendo woyamba wa helikopita ndi 100% mafuta oyendetsa ndege (SAF) amphamvu onse a Safran's Makila 2 injini.

Ndege iyi, yomwe ikutsatira kuthawa kwa H225 ndi injini imodzi ya SAF-powered Makila 2 mu November 2021, ndi gawo la ntchito yoyendetsa ndege yomwe cholinga chake ndi kumvetsa zotsatira za ntchito ya SAF pa machitidwe a helikopita. Mayesero akuyembekezeka kupitilira pamitundu ina ya ma helikopita okhala ndi mafuta osiyanasiyana ndi zomangamanga zama injini ndi cholinga chotsimikizira kugwiritsa ntchito 100% SAF ndi 2030.

"Kuthawa kumeneku ndi SAF kupatsa mphamvu injini zamapasa za H225 ndizofunikira kwambiri pamakampani a helikopita. Zikuwonetsa gawo latsopano paulendo wathu wotsimikizira kugwiritsa ntchito 100% SAF mu helikopita yathu, zomwe zingatanthauze kuchepetsa mpaka 90% mu mpweya wa CO2 wokha, "anatero Stefan Thome, Wachiwiri kwa Purezidenti, Engineering ndi Chief Technical. Ofesi, Airbus Helicopters.

Kugwiritsiridwa ntchito kwa SAF ndi imodzi mwazitsulo za Airbus Helicopters kuti akwaniritse cholinga chake chochepetsera mpweya wa CO2 kuchokera ku helikopita yake ndi 50% ndi 2030. Chimodzi mwa ubwino waukulu wogwiritsira ntchito mafuta atsopanowa ndikuti amalola kuti ndegeyo ichepetse mpweya wake wa carbon pamene kusunga momwe ndege zimayendera.

Malinga ndi lipoti la Waypoint 2050, kugwiritsa ntchito SAF paulendo wa pandege kumatha kukhala ndi 50-75% ya kuchepetsa CO2 komwe kumafunikira kuti afikitse mpweya wotulutsa mpweya pofika 2050 mumakampani oyendetsa ndege. Ngakhale kupanga kwa SAF pakadali pano kumangopanga 0.1% yokha yamafuta amtundu wa pandege, chiwerengerochi chikuyembekezeka kukwera kwambiri m'zaka zikubwerazi kuti zikwaniritse zomwe zikuchulukirachulukira kuchokera kwa ogwira ntchito komanso zomwe zikubwera za SAF.

Mu June 2021, Ndege za Airbus Helicopters zinayambitsa Gulu la Ogwiritsa Ntchito la SAF ndi cholinga chobweretsa onse ogwira nawo ntchito pamodzi kuti agwiritse ntchito njira zofulumizitsa kugwiritsa ntchito mafuta a mafuta a SAF osakanikirana ndikutsegula njira yopita ku 100% SAF ndege zamtsogolo. Ndege zonse zamalonda za Airbus ndi ma helikoputala ndi ovomerezeka kuti aziwuluka ndi 50% kuphatikiza kwa SAF.
