E noiʻi ʻia kekahi mau kahawai ʻenehana, e pili ana i nā pae like ʻole o ka electrification, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kinoea turbines a i ʻole nā wahie ʻē aʻe, a me nā hoʻolālā ʻenekini kiʻekiʻe e hōʻemi hou i ka footprint acoustic o nā turbines.
"Aia mākou ma ka ʻaoʻao o kahi ʻōmaʻomaʻo i kā mākou ʻoihana, a ma ke ʻano he mea hana helikopter civila nui loa o ka honua, ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei au he kuleana ko mākou e holomua i nā ʻenehana a me nā hoʻonā e hoʻomau i ka hana ʻana i ka lele kū i ke koho maikaʻi loa e hoʻopili i nā kūlanakauhale a lawe i nā poʻe kaʻa me ka palekana. ma nā kaona o ke kūlanakauhale, "wahi a Bruno Even, Airbus Helicopters CEO.
