NASA: Ndege yatsopano 'yabata' idzatsitsimutsa maulendo apamwamba kwambiri amalonda

NASA adalengeza kuti ikugwira ntchito ndi Lockheed Martin pa pulojekiti yatsopano ya ndege ya jet yamalonda yomwe imatha kuswa liwiro la phokoso popanda kupanga sonic boom yodziwika bwino.

Chilichonse chomwe chikuyenda mumlengalenga mwachangu kuposa liwiro la mawu chimatulutsa phokoso lamphamvu lomwe limamveka ngati kuphulika kapena kugunda kwa bingu kotchedwa sonic boom, komwe kumakhudza madera akulu, omwe nthawi zambiri amakhala ndi anthu ambiri mamailosi ambiri kutali ndi ndegeyo.

Ma sonic booms anali vuto lalikulu paulendo wapaulendo wapaulendo wapaulendo ndipo adakakamiza ambiri a Concorde - ndege zonyamula anthu ku Britain-French turbojet zoyendetsedwa ndi turbojet zomwe zidagwira ntchito pakati pa 1976 ndi 2003 - maulendo apandege kuti achepetse kumtunda mpaka kutsika kwa liwiro la mawu.

Ndege yatsopano, yotchedwa X-59, ikupangidwa ndi Lockheed MartinSkunk Works ku Palmdale, California, ndi NASA lipoti “encouraging”  zotsatira zoyeserera panjira yaing'ono ya ndege yake yatsopano. T

Iye amayesa adatsimikizira kuyerekezera kwapakompyuta kwa NASA komwe kukuwonetsa kuti ndege yatsopanoyo ikhoza kutulutsa phokoso lochepa kwambiri, bungweli lidatero.

Pulojekiti ya X-59 ‘Quiet SuperSonic Technology ndege’ (QueSST) ikukula kuyambira 2018. Lockheed MartinSkunk Works monga gawo la polojekitiyi. Zotsatira zake, ndege ya X-59 yomwe ikupangidwabe idapangidwa kuti ikhale ndi liwiro la 925 mph, lomwe ndi nthawi 1.4 kuposa liwiro la mawu.

Ndi X-59, tikufuna kuwonetsa kuti titha kuchepetsa ma sonic boom okwiyitsa kukhala osamveka, otchedwa 'sonic thumps,'” anatero John Wolter, wofufuza wamkulu pa mayeso a X-59 sonic boom wind-tunnel.

"Cholinga chake ndikupereka phokoso ndi chidziwitso cha anthu ammudzi kwa owongolera, zomwe zingapangitse kuti pakhale malamulo atsopano oyendetsa ndege zapamtunda. Mayeserowa atsimikizira kuti sitingokhala ndi mapangidwe a ndege opanda phokoso, komanso kuti tili ndi zida zolondola zomwe zimayenera kuneneratu phokoso la ndege zamtsogolo, "adawonjezera Wolter.

NASA ndi Lockheed Martin akuyembekeza kuti ayambe kuyesa ndege yoyamba kumapeto kwa 2022. Pakalipano, mtundu wa jet wamtundu uliwonse ukuyesedwa ku durability ku Texas center, bungweli linati. Maulendo apandege “m'madera aku US” ayamba mu 2024, inawonjezeranso.
