Kunyange zvazvo ndege ine simba iripo nhasi, kubhururuka kunonzi "Kangaroo Route" pakati peLondon neSydney isina kumbotaridzika kwakaratidza kuti haibviri kune dzimwe ndege, kubva kune zvose zvinobatsira uye mutengi kunyaradza pfungwa.
Chokutanga uye chinonyanya kukosha, kufamba 10,573 mawendo emakiromita pakati peLondon neSydney inoda maawa anenge makumi maviri ari mumhepo pane ndege yemazuva ano ichifamba nokukurumidza, nguva yakawandisa yekupedza mumutambo wesimbi, kunyange iwe uine mukana wekureva nhema -gadzira chigaro chekutanga.
Chechipiri, hupfumi hwemafuta emigwagwa yakareba hunozivikanwa hurombo, ndicho chikonzero vazhinji vasingagari kwenguva refu - chiitiko chinokurumidza kuurayiwa ndiSingapore Airlines 'chisina kusimba Singapore-Newark nzira (kunyange zvazvo ndege yakazivisa iyo inoda kuunza iyo nzira zvakare pane imwe pfungwa).
Pasinei neizvi, pfungwa dzakawanda dzeveviation uye vezvemabhizimisi vanotenda kwete chete kuti London-Sydney isati yasvika inogona kuva nzira inobatsira-inotenda iyo inogona kutenderera mumaawa mana, kana kunyange pasi!
Akabudirira kune Concorde?
Kana iwe uine aritemikirini yakakwana chero ipi zvayo, mhinduro yakananga yedambudziko reLondon-Sydney nguva yekupamba ndeyokuwedzera kukurumidza zvikuru. Kufanana, ichiti, vaiti veScordorde supersonic jet vakagara pfupi, pavakagadzirira ndege inogona kubhururuka pa1 200 maawa paawa, inopfuura kaviri nokukurumidza kune imwe ndege yemazuva ano.
Sezvakanyorwa izvi, makambani akadai seGulfstream, Lockheed Martin uye kunyange NASA vari mukukwikwidza kuedza nekuvaka "Anonzi Concorde," mwanakomana uyu chete ndiye angave ane simba rakanyanya kupfuura baba vake, kusvika pamakiromita 2 500 neawa - kana zvichida kunyange nokukurumidza.
The Supersonic Problem
Dambudziko reConstorde, nderechokwadi, rakanga risati riri mari yakawanda yemapurisa aifanira kubhadhara kana yega (asi yakanyanya kwazvo profile) Concorde crash yakaitika muna 2000 paParis 'Charles de Gaulle yendege. Pane kudaro, chidziro chikuru chekuendesa ndege huru kune ... zvakanaka, izwi rinonzwika, uye "sonic boom" ndege inogadzira kana ichiiputsa.
Nokuda kwendiza dzinofamba pamusoro pemvura (dzakadai seNew York kuLondon neParis, iyo yaiva chingwa cheChordorde uye mafuta), iyi yakanga isiri iyo yakadaro. Asi kubva kuLondon kuenda kuSydney (uye, kuva nechokwadi, dzakawanda dzemakwikwi akawanda-refuha munyika yose) dzinoda kufamba pamusoro pemasasa emunyika, mapato ari pamusoro apa ari kuedza kutsvaga nzira yekuderedza kana kubvisa kushanda kwe sonic booms pa nyika inobudirira.
Shanduro yaRichard Branson's
