Lockheed Martin's Skunk Ua Haujlwm Pabcuam nrog Supercar Maker McLaren - Vim li cas, Peb Tsis Paub

Hauv hom lus tsis meej hyperbolic uas dhau mus rau kev tshaj tawm hnub no, "kev koom tes" ntawm Lockheed MartinLMT
Skunk Works thiab McLaren Automotive los tshawb txog futuristic tsim qauv tau tshaj tawm thaum ntxov lub lim tiam no. Yuav ua li cas Lockheed tus tibneeg hu tauj coob innovation hub thiab ib tug tawm tsam British supercar tsim yuav los ntawm kev sib koom tes yog leej twg xav.

Yog tias ib daim duab muaj nqis 1,000 lo lus, tom qab ntawd daim duab saum toj no ntawm Mclaren tus $ 230,000 Artura hybrid sportscar nyob rau hauv pem hauv ntej Lockheed Martin's Advanced Development Programs lub hauv paus hauv Palmdale, CA yuav theoretically muab rau lwm tus neeg tsim khoom ntawm kev ceeb toom tias McLaren tab tom yuav muab qee qhov kev ua kom yuam kev Skunk ua haujlwm rau hauv nws cov tsheb.

Ib yam li ntawd, nws yuav xav tias Skunk Works xav kom paub txog cov txheej txheem thiab thev naus laus zis hloov cov txiaj ntsig los ntawm kev ua haujlwm nrog lub tuam txhab supercar uas nws tsis tau xav txog yav dhau los - tsis yog rau F-117 Nighthawk lossis saum rab phom movie hypersonic Dark Star mockup lub tsheb yog duab nrog.

Tab sis tsis yog Lockheed Martin thiab McLaren tsis kam muab cov ntaub ntawv tiag tiag txog qhov khub niam txiv npaj yuav ua. Ib tsab xov xwm McLaren tshaj tawm hais tias kev sib koom tes yuav "tsom mus rau kev siv lub Skunk Works tshiab" tsim qauv, tsim rau lub ntiaj teb ntawm aviation, mus rau hauv lub realms ntawm high-kev ua tau zoo, txiav-ntev automotive supercar tsim.

Qhov twg ntawm lub tuam txhab cov lus piav qhia txog qhov kev tsim qauv uas nws tau hais txog yog nyob rau hauv nws qhov kev sib cav hais tias, "Lub software pioneering teeb tsa cov kev txwv rau cov tshuab hluav taws xob nrawm dua thiab nrawm dua li cov qauv tsim ib txwm muaj."

Yog tias lub software yog "tshiab" thiab "pioneering", yog vim li cas Lockheed Martin tso nws mus rau hauv lub unclassified realm ntawm ib tug supercar project?

Tus kws tshaj lij ntawm Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, Candis Roussel, tsis muaj qhov qhia tau hais tias, "Qhov peb tuaj yeem qhia tau rau lub sijhawm no yog tias Lockheed Martin Skunk Works pom muaj txiaj ntsig zoo hauv kev koom tes hauv thiab sab nraud ntawm Aerospace thiab Defense kev lag luam," email teb rau yav tav su no.

Qhov ntawd zoo siab yog tias tsis yog txhua qhov tshwj xeeb. McLaren tus cev lus, Laura Conrad, tau lees paub tias kev sib koom tes siv rau McLaren txoj kev tsheb tuam txhab, tsis yog rau pawg neeg sib tw uas muaj npe hu ua Formula 1 uas tuaj yeem xav tias yuav siv cov thev naus laus zis ntau dua li nws cov neeg sib tw. Ms. Conrad tau rov hais dua tias lub tuam txhab tsis tuaj yeem qhia dab tsi ntxiv rau lub sijhawm no dua li hauv xov xwm tshaj tawm.

Tej zaum nws yuav qhia tau tias qhov kev tso tawm suav nrog cov lus hais los ntawm Darren Goddard, Tus Thawj Saib Xyuas Kev Ua Haujlwm, McLaren Automotive tab sis tsis suav nrog cov lus los ntawm Lockheed's John Clark uas tau los ua tus lwm thawj thiab tus thawj tswj hwm ntawm Skunk Works thaum ntxov xyoo no. Lockheed Martin tsis zoo li tau tshaj tawm nws tus kheej tso tawm ntawm txoj haujlwm sib koom tes thiab nws cov kev saib xyuas zoo li yuav tsom mus rau kev muag 35 F-35As rau lub teb chaws Yelemees tau lees paub ua ntej hnub no.

Skunk Works tau ua tsis ntev los no xov xwm ua tiav kev sib koom ua ke ntawm 5G network thiab cov tub rog siv xov tooj cua rau hauv Hybrid Base Chaw nres tsheb muaj peev xwm ua haujlwm hauv kev ya davhlau ntawm cov dav hlau tsis tau teev tseg. Tshaj-the-air 5G thiab tactical network kev sib txuas tuaj yeem yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev sib txuas lus / cov ntaub ntawv sib qhia tus nqi rau US aircraft.

McLaren Automotive cov xov xwm tsis ntev los no muaj feem cuam tshuam txog kev lag luam nyiaj txiag vim yog kev muag khoom qeeb thiab cov saw hlau tsis muaj zog. Tom qab ua tiav cov nyiaj rov qab los ntawm nws cov tswv lag luam feem ntau, Bahrain lub peev nyiaj txiag muaj txiaj ntsig, Mumtalakat, mus txog $ 279 lab txij li lub caij ntuj sov dhau los, kev lag luam yuav xav tau peev ntxiv rau thaum ntxov 2023 raws li Standard & Poor's (S&P).

Lub siab-profile tsos ntawm Dark Star hypersonic aircraft mock-up nyob rau hauv saum rab phom yog ib qho kev ceeb toom Skunk Works tau hais tias, qhov kev tsim sai sai / engineering cov txheej txheem siv los tsim nws yog tiag tiag. Tab sis cov peev txheej no tau muaj nyob ntev ntawm Lockheed's Advanced Programs faib thiab muaj tseeb nquag siv nyob rau hauv ntau yam treatises txog dab tsi lwm tus yuav kawm tau los ntawm innovation unit uas legendary designer, Kelly Johnson, launched thiab saib xyuas.

McLaren yuav tau txais kev tshoov siab los ntawm Skunk Works cov txheej txheem thiab kev ua lag luam raws li ntau lwm tus tau ua tab sis qhov tseeb tsis yog nws los yog Lockheed Martin txaus siab los qhia seb lawv npaj yuav siv Skunk Works tshiab 'kev tsim qauv rau supercar (los yog cov lus xaiv yuav los tom ntej SUV lossis tag nrho EV) kev tsim khoom qhia tias lawv yuav tsis paub lawv tus kheej tiag tiag.
