Indlela yokubhabha "i-Kangaroo Route" engekho ngaphaya kwexesha
Nangona i-aircraft enekhono ikhona namhlanje, ukuhamba nge-"Kangaroo Route" phakathi kweLondon neSydney engaqineki kuye kwabonakala kungenakwenzeka kwiinqwelo-moya, ukusuka kokubili inzuzo kunye nombono wenduduzo yabathengi.
Okokuqala nokuphambili, ukuhamba ngeekhilomitha ezili-10,573 ze-nautical phakathi kweLondon neSydney kudinga iiyure eziyi-20 emoyeni kwixesha elikhoyo lokuhamba ngeenqwelo zeenqwelo-moya, ixesha elingaxhamliyo lokuchitha kwi-tube enxinxubileyo yensimbi, nangona unenhlanhla ukuba uxoke -i-class first seat.
Okwesibini, uqoqosho lwezoqoqosho lweendlela ezide lubonakala luhlwempuzekileyo, yingakho ininzi ingapheli ixesha elide-into ephawulekayo yongxowankulu yindlela yaseSingapore yaseNingapore -Newark engeyona ingqungquthela (nangona i-airline ibhengeze ukuba ifuna ukubuyisela indlela leyo ngongoma).
Nangona kunjalo, iingqondo ezininzi zezobuchwephesha kunye nosomashishini abakholelwa kuphela ukuba iLondon-Sydney engazange ibe yindlela yokufumana inzuzo-bayakholelwa ukuba ingaqhutyelwa kwiiyure ezine, okanye nangaphantsi!
Umphumeleli weComporde?
Ukuba unayo i-arithmetic aptitude nantoni na, isisombululo esicacileyo kwingxaki yexesha laseFondon-Sydney ukunyuka ngokukhawuleza. Njengoko, zithi, abadali beJet Concorde supersonic jet benza i-jet craftic jet, xa baqulunqa inqwelo ekwazi ukuhamba ngeebhite ezili-1,200 ngeyure, ngaphezu kokuphindwe kabini ngokukhawuleza nayiphi na i-moya.
Njengalo mbhalo, iinkampani ezinjengeGulfstream, i-Lockheed Martin kunye ne-NASA zincintisana nokuzama nokwakha "u-Son of Concorde," kuphela lo nyana uya kuba namandla kunoyise, kwi-2,500 miles ngeyure - okanye mhlawumbi ngokukhawuleza.
Ingxaki ye Supersonic
Ingxaki kunye neComporde, ngokuqinisekileyo, yayingekho intlawulo yeeflaya ezifunekayo ukuba zihlawule okanye enye (kodwa iphrofayli ephezulu kakhulu) ukuqhuma kukaCordorde okwenzeka ngo-2000 kwi-airport kaPartius yaseCharles de Gaulle. Kunoko, umqobo oyintloko wokwenza indiza ehamba phambili yiyo ... ngokuqinisekileyo, isithintelo somsindo, kunye ne "sonom boom" idiza iyakha xa iphulaphula.
Ngeenqwelo ezinokuhamba ngokubanzi phezu kwamanzi (njengeNew York ukuya eLondon naseParis, eyona isonka se-Concorde kunye nebhotela), oku kwakungenjalo. Kodwa ukususela eLondon ukuya eSydney (kwaye, ngokuqinisekileyo, ezininzi zeenqwelo zeenqwelo ezindizayo kwihlabathi) zifuna ukuhamba ngamazwe omhlaba, amaqela achazwe ngasentla ahlawula ukufumana indlela yokunciphisa okanye ukucima umphumo we-booms sonoms impucuko yomhlaba.
Isixazululo sikaRichard Branson
Akumangalisi ukuba u-mega-usomashishini kunye nabo bonke abajikeleze imbono uRichard Branson ucebise isisombululo. Kwaye ngendlela engafanelekanga, isisombululo sakhe sibonakala siphendulekile xa sifunda kuqala.
U-Branson ubheka iLondon-Sydney (kunye nezinye iindlela ezinqamlekileyo) ezingasebenzisi i-aircraft, kodwa kunokusebenzisa i-Virgin Galactic "spaceplane" ehamba kwindawo, kunokuba ihambe emoyeni. Ukwenza oko kungekukuvumela kuphela ukuba indiza ibonise ukukhawuleza kwee-rocket njengoko ihamba nge-gravity (i-Branson ibona i-London-Sydney ithatha iiyure ezintathu okanye iphantsi koko), kodwa ingaba nefuthe phantse kwimihla ngemihla ehamba.
Okwangoku, nangona kunjalo, abahambi phakathi kweLondon neSydney baya kufuna "ukugquma" njengekhamaroo, kunye nokuyeka ukuya eHong Kong, eSingapore, eDaibhi okanye e-Abu Dhabi, ukubiza ezinye iindlela zokuhamba.
