Boom Supersonic hais tias nws tsis xav tau cov pab pawg li qub ntawm Subsonic Engine Makers

Cia peb hais ua ntej hais tias feem coob ntawm cov neeg hauv aviation tsis xav tias Boom Supersonic yuav ua tiav hauv kev tsim lub dav hlau supersonic uas niaj hnub ntxias cov neeg caij tsheb ntawm kev ya hla dej. Cov kev tsis ntseeg tshwm sim suav nrog lub ntiaj teb cov tuam txhab dav hlau saum toj kawg nkaus, uas nyob rau ob peb lub hlis dhau los no txhua tus tau rov qab los ntawm lub sijhawm los txhawb Boom lub phiaj xwm Overture supersonic dav hlau.

Qhov ntawd tsis txwv Boom, uas hnub Tuesday tau tshaj tawm cov koom haum ntawm peb lub tuam txhab tsis tshua paub los tsim, sab laj thiab tswj hwm nws lub cav, hu ua "Symphony." Boom tau hais tias Florida Turbine Technologies, kev faib tawm ntawm tus neeg ua haujlwm tiv thaiv Kratos Defense, yuav tsim Symphony; GE Additive yuav muab kev sab laj thev naus laus zis ntawm kev tsim khoom ntxiv thiab Arizona-based StandardAero yuav tswj nws.

Denver-based Boom npaj yuav tsim cov dav hlau Overture ntawm tsob ntoo tshiab ntawm Greensboro, North Carolina's Piedmont Triad International Tshav Dav Hlau, qhov chaw Boom CEO Blake Scholl tau hais rau hnub Tuesday rau txog 150 tus neeg ua haujlwm, cov thawj coj hauv zos, cov neeg siv koob yees duab thiab cov neeg sau xov xwm. Kev nthuav dav rau cov nroj tsuag, qhov chaw ua haujlwm yog tsom mus txog 1,750 tus neeg ua haujlwm, xav kom nyob rau lub Ib Hlis.

Nug seb cov neeg tsim lub cav tso Boom los yog Boom tawm ntawm cov neeg tsim cav, Scholl tau teb tias, "Nws tau pom tseeb tias qhov no nyob deb thiab deb ntawm txoj kev zoo tshaj plaws rau peb mus. Peb tuaj yeem tau txais lub cav subsonic thiab hloov kho nws. Peb tuaj yeem coj tus qauv ua lag luam subsonic thiab hloov kho nws.

"Nws ua haujlwm," nws hais. "Tab sis nws tsis yog ze li qhov zoo rau peb cov neeg siv khoom thiab peb cov neeg caij tsheb vim tias nws nqa lub hnab nqa khoom ntawm cov qauv tsim uas tsis tau ua kom zoo rau lub dav hlau supersonic thiab nce nqi khiav lag luam ntau."

Raws li lub sijhawm hloov pauv, Scholl tau hais tias, "Peb tau muaj kev txhim kho lub cav txij li thaum ntxov xyoo no hauv txoj hauv kev no.

Nws tau hais tias "Peb tau kawm ntau xyoo txog dab tsi lub zog txhawb nqa rau Overture xav tau los ua tau," nws hais. "Peb tau ua qhov ntawd nrog qee lub tuam txhab cav zoo tshaj plaws hauv ntiaj teb. Tab sis nyob rau hauv parallel peb tau hais tias 'Cia peb saib tshiab ntawm txoj kev tshiab yuav ua li cas.' Qhov ntau peb nkag siab txog lub ntiaj teb subsonic, qhov ntau peb paub tias yuav muaj txiaj ntsig zoo kom muaj peev xwm xav txawv. "

Nrog subsonic xyaw, kev saib xyuas yog kim thiab cuam tshuam rau kev ua haujlwm, nws hais. Qhov tseeb, feem ntau, "cov cav tau muab tso tseg," nws hais. "Tag nrho cov nyiaj yog rau kev kho thiab qhov chaw." Tsis tas li ntawd, nws hais tias, cov tshuab subsonic ua haujlwm hnyav tshaj plaws ntawm kev tawm mus, thaum lub tshuab supersonic ua haujlwm ntawm kev ua haujlwm puv sijhawm. Rau lawv, "Kev tawm mus yog qhov yooj yim," nws hais.

Raws li ib txwm muaj, Scholl tsis kam tawm tswv yim txog nyiaj txiag, tshwj tsis yog hais tias, "Peb ib txwm xav tias Boom yuav tau txais nyiaj txiag ib feem tseem ceeb ntawm kev txhim kho cav. Txoj kev no nws yog peev nyiaj ntau dua, ua haujlwm ncaj qha nrog cov saw hlau. "

Txhawm rau tshuaj xyuas, Boom ntsib qhov kev sib tw cav thaum lub Kaum Ib Hlis, thaum Rolls-Royce tau hais tias nws yuav xaus lawv txoj kev koom tes, tshaj tawm xyoo 2020, "kom ua haujlwm ua ke txhawm rau txheeb xyuas lub zog txhawb nqa uas yuav txhawb nqa Overture lub dav hlau." Hnub Tuesday, Scholl tau hais tias nws ua tsaug rau qhov kev siv zog, ceeb toom "Peb thawj zaug xav tias peb tuaj yeem hloov lub cav subsonic rau lub davhlau supersonic." Tab sis qhov kev xav hloov.

Tsis tas li ntawd nyob rau lub Kaum Ib Hlis, kev lag luam luam tawm Flight Global tau tshaj tawm tias cov neeg xa khoom muaj peev xwm GE Aviation, Honeywell thiab Safran Aircraft Engines kuj tsis txaus siab rau kev tsim cov cav rau Overture. Thaum Lub Kaum Ob Hlis, kuv nug tus thawj tswj hwm ntawm Pratt & Whitney txoj kev lag luam cav faib seb P&W puas yuav ua haujlwm nrog Boom. Nws tau tshem tawm cov lus nug, hais tias lub tuam txhab tsis khoom ua lub cav rau lub dav hlau nqaim subsonic, suav nrog Airbus A321. "Peb yog 100% tsom mus rau cov haujlwm uas twb muaj lawm," nws hais. "Peb pom lub khw muag khoom nqaim yog lub sijhawm tiag tiag."

Hnub Tuesday yog hnub tseem ceeb rau kev tsav dav hlau hauv Carolinas. Raws li Scholl tau hais hauv Greensboro, cov thawj coj ntawm BoeingBA
thiab United Air Lines nyob rau hauv North Charleston, South Carolina tshaj tawm ib qho loj United xaj rau Boeing 787s. Tsis muaj lub tshuab tsim hluav taws xob tau tshaj tawm, tab sis 787 feem ntau yog siv los ntawm GE Aerospace's GEnx lossis Rolls-Royce Trent 1000.

Nug nws cov kev xav ntawm cov xwm txheej ib txhij, Scholl hais tias, "Supersonic davhlau yog pub dawb rau lub davhlau subsonic." Nws tau hais tias Boom "lub hom phiaj kawg yog txhawm rau ua kom lub dav hlau supersonic rau txhua tus neeg uas ya, [tab sis] peb tab tom pib nrog kev tsom mus rau cov neeg caij tsheb hwm [thiab] muaj peev xwm ua haujlwm ntawm tus nqi 75% qis dua (tus qauv) - Overture yog tsuas yog qhov pib. "

Ntawm Piedmont Triad, North Carolina yuav them $ 57 lab los tsim ib lub tsev rau cov kab sib dhos, uas cov khoom siv nkag mus thiab cov khoom tiav lawm. Tab sis Kevin Baker, tus thawj coj ntawm tshav dav hlau, tau hais tias lub chaw yuav tsim nrog plaub lub qhov rooj qhov rooj nkag rau sab, kom nws tuaj yeem hloov pauv mus rau kev saib xyuas bays tau yooj yim. Baker tau hais tias nws koom nrog 13 lub tuam txhab uas xav nrhiav cov cuab yeej nyob ib sab ntawm lub tshav dav hlau: kwv yees li ib nrab ntawm lawv xav muab kev saib xyuas dav hlau. Nws tau hais tias "Yog tias Boom tsis tuaj yeem siv qhov chaw, nws tuaj yeem hloov mus rau lwm qhov kev siv," nws hais.

Lub sijhawm tam sim no rau Greensboro, Scholl tau hais tias, xav txog kev tsim kho hauv 2023, tsim tawm hauv 2024, nthuav tawm thawj zaug Overture hauv 2026, kev sim davhlau hauv 2027, thiab Tsoom Fwv Tebchaws Aviation Administration daim ntawv pov thawj xyoo 2029.

Ambitious, tseeb, tab sis cov kwv tij Wright kuj ambition. Scholl qhov kev nthuav qhia yog laced nrog cov lus hais rau cov aviation pioneers uas thawj zaug ya nyob rau hauv 1903 ntawm Kitty Hawk, nyob rau North Carolina ntug dej hiav txwv txog 300 mais sab hnub tuaj ntawm Greensboro. Cov kwv tij Wright tau ua haujlwm tawm lub cav ua rau tus neeg tsim khoom Charles Taylor, Scholl tau hais. "Yog tias peb saib rov qab los ntawm keeb kwm, cov dav hlau zoo thiab cov foob pob hluav taws zoo ib txwm ua tau los ntawm cov tshuab zoo," nws hais, hais txog Space X thiab Blue Origin ntawm lub foob pob hluav taws.

Hais txog Piedmont Triad qhov kev xaiv los ua qhov chaw tsim khoom, Scholl tau hais tias, "Muaj kev mob siab rau kev dav hlau hauv lub xeev no uas rov qab mus rau Wright Brothers. Peb xav tias nws zoo heev uas peb tab tom tsim tsis deb ntawm qhov chaw Wrights thawj zaug ya. "

Peb feem ntau hais tias kev cia siab tsis yog lub tswv yim. Qhia rau Wright cov kwv tij.
