Hybrid eletise Twin Otter: Muamua laʻasaga i lelei, maualalo emission vaʻalele vaʻalele

Ampaire ma IKHANA Aircraft Services ua faʻalauiloa a NASA-faʻatupeina agavaʻa suʻesuʻega mo le faʻafetauina o le faʻaaloalo Twin Otter workhorse vaʻalele mo hybrid-eletise faʻamalosia.

Na faʻamanuiaina Ampaire i se konekalate a le NASA e faʻafetaia le hybrid-electric propulsion i luga o le Twin Otter o se vaega o taumafaiga a le NASA EAP (Electric Aircraft Propulsion). Ampaire ma IKHANA o loʻo faʻatinoina uma lenei NASA polokalama. O kamupani e lua o loʻo galulue faʻatasi e iloilo le tele o hybrid diesel / eletise configurations mo le vaʻalele, ma ia atiaʻe le tau, faʻatulagaina ma lamatiaga faʻaititia fuafuaga mo se isi laʻasaga o vaalele atinae.

O le autu faʻamoemoega o le paionia o se fesuiaʻiga o le eletise eletise fesuiaʻiga a le IKHANA's RWMI DHC-6-300HG ™ Twin Otter vaalele. O lenei vaalele 14,000 lb. (6350 kg) o le a gaosia le sili atu i le 1MW o le aofaʻi o le paoa ma aveina atu i le 19 pasese ma uta, aʻo ausiaina matua faʻaititia le faʻaitiitia o le suauʻu. Lenei taumafaiga taumafai mai Ampaire's ma IKHANA galulue faʻatasi mo vaʻalele suʻesuʻega ma tekonolosi atinaʻe i luga Ampaire Eletise EEL ono-nofoa vaalele demonstrator vaʻalele, o Cessna 337 masaga suia mo hybrid eletise malosi. O le faʻaaogaina o le Ampaire's plug-in tutusa hybrid propulsion tekonolosi, o le hybrid Twin Otter tatalaina gafatia talatala gafatia mo tagata lautele ma malo tagata faʻatau.

"O le eletise o vaalele nofoa e 19 nofoa o se avanoa lata mai lea o le a faʻamanuiaina ai tagata faʻataʻavalevale ma pasese, ae faʻaititia ai le ea kasa ma fesoasoani i le vaega o vaʻalele e ausia lona tulaga tutoʻatasi o le faʻatupulaia o sini," o le saunoaga lea a le Ampaire CEO Kevin Noertker. "Matou te vaʻai i le lagolago a le NASA o se faʻamaoniga o le toe faʻafouga a Ampaire. O se maualalo-lamatia, ausia auala i se hybrid / eletise, ma iʻu ai o se atoa eletise, lumanaʻi. O lenei auala toe faʻafouina ua eseʻese ai Ampaire mai le fou-fausia, ose polokalama taua tele. "

Na faʻamatala e Noertker le taua o le 19 nofoa i le alualu i luma i le lele eletise. "O le suʻesuʻega a Ampaire o le maketi vaʻalele o loʻo faʻailoa mai ai o le tasi vaetolu o vaʻalele tau vaʻalele o loʻo fuafuaina e ala i auala e le atoa se 1,000 kilomita. O loʻo ia i matou le tekonolosi i aso nei e faʻatonutonu ai nei vaega auala, luga o vaʻalele e oʻo i nofoa e 19., ae o fofo eletise o le a oʻo mai mo vaʻalele tele i le taimi umi. E mafai ona matou maua se eletise faʻalua Twin Otter i le tautua i ni nai tausaga. Ole mea lena e avea ai lenei vaega muamua ole galuega mo le NASA groundbreaking. O lenei suʻesuʻega o le a tele lona faʻaaogaina i tua atu o le Twin Otter platform. ”

"O le Twin Otter o se tulaga ese eseese-vaʻalele vaʻaia ma faʻamaonia fetuutuunai e faʻagaioia o se taulaga commuter, o se tua-vao togavao vaalele, ma i eseese faʻapitoa misiona talosaga. O se faʻaaliga talafeagai lelei mo le faʻaaogaina o tekonolosi ma talu ai o se oloa ua faʻamaonia o le a iai se aia tele a le maketi i lana ia lava aia tatau. " "Ua fiafia le vaega a le IKHANA e avea ma paionia hybrid tekonolosi mo le DHC-6 Twin Otter; O le fetuunaʻi ma le faʻamaoniaina o agavaʻa fou e faʻalauteleina ai le aoga mo tagata faʻatautaia o le mea lea tatou te masani ai uma.
