Hoʻomaka ʻo Etihad i ka 2020 ecoDemonstrator

Following the launch of the Etihad Greenliner Program at the 2019 Dubai Airshow, and the arrival of the flagship Greenliner in January 2020, Etihad Airways today officially inaugurated the latest aircraft in its journey towards sustainability, with the pioneering 2020 ecoDemonstrator entering commercial service following a series of industry-leading test flights across the United States. The aircraft, a brand-new Boeing 787-10 registered A6-BMI, is the latest arrival to Etihad’s 39-strong fleet of 787 Dreamliners, making the UAE national airline one of the world’s largest operators of the technologically advanced aircraft type. 

E like me ka 2020 ecoDemonstrator, i ka laulima ʻana me Boeing, NASA a me Safran Landing Systems, ua hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Etihad's 787 Dreamliner ma ke ʻano he wahi lele e hoʻoholomua i nā hoʻomohala ʻenehana me ka pahuhopu e hoʻolilo i nā mokulele mokulele i mea ʻoi aku ka palekana ʻO kahi ʻike i ʻike ʻia ma ka lani ma luna o ka Northwest ʻAmelika i loko o nā mahina i hala iho nei, ʻo Dreamliner i kuni ʻokoʻa ʻia, i kī ʻia me nā pono hoʻokolohua paʻakikī, alakaʻi i ka noiʻi nui e lele ana ma luna o Montana a ma waena o ka moku ʻo Wakinekona a me South Carolina.

ʻO Tony Douglas, ka Luna Hoʻokele o ka Pūʻulu, ʻo Etihad Aviation Group, i ʻōlelo: nā waiwai a me ka hihi wā lōʻihi. Kūlike kēia me nā hana nui a Abu Dhabi e hana ai, a me ka UAE, i ka noiʻi a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā hopena kūpono e pale aku ai i ka loli. 

"ʻO ko Etihad hui pū ʻana me Boeing, a me ke komo pū ʻana i ka papahana me NASA a me Safran, kahi a ka mokulele mokulele ʻo UAE e haʻaheo nei. ʻO kēia papahana hoihoi a holomua hoʻi e loaʻa ka hopena o ka honua maoli i kā mākou ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka Etihad's Greenliner Program a hōʻike i ka hoʻolālā holomua a Etihad. Ma ke ʻano he laʻana o ka laulima ʻana o ka ʻoihana, ʻo kēia mokulele kahi hiʻohiʻona kūlike ʻole o ka pehea e hiki ai i ka ʻoihana mokulele ke hui pū no kahi wā e hiki ke hoʻomau mau.

No ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i kāna lawelawe maʻamau, ua hoʻokau ʻia ka mokulele kūikawā me kahi hōʻailona hoʻomanaʻo e hōʻike ana i kāna kōkua i ka hoʻomau ʻana, ʻoiai ʻo ka fuselage ke hoʻomau nei i kekahi o nā hoʻolālā lele lele ecoDemonstrator kumu, e like me ka ecoDemonstrator a me nā Boeing logos, i hoʻohui ʻia me ka nā huaʻōlelo 'Mai Abu Dhabi no ka Honua', kahi mana hou o ka tagline kaulana a ka mokulele.

I loko o ka papahana ecoDemonstrator, ua kāhiko ʻia ʻo A6-BMI me nā pono hana no ʻewalu mau lā o ka hoʻowalewale hoʻokolohua ʻana i nā hanana he ʻehiku e hoʻonui ai i ka palekana a hoʻēmi i nā emissions a me ka walaʻau. Ua mālama ʻia nā huakaʻi ma Glasgow, Montana, a i ʻelua mau huakaʻi transcontinental ma waena o Seattle, Wakinekona, a me Charleston South Carolina. I ka wā o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana, ua hōʻiliʻili ʻia kahi moʻo o nā mokulele i ka ʻike nui o ka leo o ka mokulele NASA a hiki i kēia lā mai kahi o 2 microphones i hoʻopili ʻia ma waho o ka 1,200 a hoʻonohonoho pū ʻia ma ka honua. 

E hoʻomaikaʻi ka ʻike i nā hiki wana o ka mokulele NASA, nā ala i mua no nā pailaka e hōʻemi i ka walaʻau a hoʻomaopopo i nā hoʻolālā mokulele mālie i ka wā e hiki mai ana. Ua hōʻike ʻelua mau mokulele mokulele ma waena o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kahi ala hou no nā pailaka, nā mea hoʻokele kaʻa ʻea a me nā kikowaena hana mokulele e kamaʻilio pū i ka manawa like, i ka hopena o ka hoʻokele maikaʻi ʻana, nā wā hōʻea a hoʻemi ʻia nā emissions.

"ʻO ko Boeing hui pū ʻana me Etihad Airways ma ka papahana ecoDemonstrator o kēia makahiki i hoʻokiʻekiʻe aʻe i ka pilina paʻa paʻa a mākou i hana ai i ka makahiki i hala i kahi pae hou loa," i ʻōlelo ʻo Stan Deal, pelekikena a me CEO ʻo Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "ʻO nā laulima e like me kēia he mea waiwai nui e hōʻeleu i ka hana hou e hoʻonui hou ai i ka palekana a me ka paʻa o ka lele ʻana. ʻO nā hoʻokolohua a mākou i alakaʻi ai, me ka hui pū ʻana me NASA a me Safran Landing Systems, e pōmaikaʻi i ka mokulele a me ka honua no nā makahiki e hiki mai ana. "

Ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka papahana, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Etihad a me Boeing i ʻenehana ʻenehana hou e kōkua i nā mokulele e hakakā i ka mālama ʻana o COVID-19, e ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe wikiwiki ʻana i nā ʻāpana kiʻekiʻe. ʻO kēia kahi ʻōnaehana disinfecting light ultraviolet i hoʻopaʻa ʻia a me kahi uhi antimicrobial e kōkua ai i ka pale ʻana i ka ulu ʻana o nā bacteria ma nā pā pā, nā hoʻomaha lima a me nā ʻilikai ʻē aʻe. 

ʻO ka hoʻowahāwahā kiʻekiʻe loa o Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) i hoʻohana ʻia ma loko o ka papahana, a ma ka lele lele hoʻi mai Charleston a i Abu Dhabi. A ʻo kahi hopena, ua pale ʻia ma mua o 60 tonnes o nā hoʻokuʻu i ka lele lawe wale ʻana. 

ʻO ka lele ʻana o ka mokulele i Abu Dhabi i ʻike ai ʻo Etihad i ka hana pū ʻana me nā mea lawelawe ʻo Airspace Navigation Service (ANSPs) me FAA, UK NATS a me EUROCONTROL e hoʻomaikaʻi i ke ala lele, e ʻoki ana i ka wahie i ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi tone a me nā emissions CO2 e ka ʻehā mau tonnes. Ma hope o nā huakaʻi kūikawā a Etihad i Brussels a me Dublin i Ianuali a me Malaki 2020 i kēlā me kēia, ke hoʻomau nei kēia hana e hōʻike i ka papa mele ikaika a Etihad i ka laulima ʻana me nā ANSP e hoʻonui i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lewa e hoʻoliʻiliʻi i ka wahie, ka halulu a me nā hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ke kalapona.

Ua hana pū ʻo Etihad lāua ʻo Boeing ma ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka ʻenehana hoʻolālā ala hou ma ka lele lele o A6-BMI. Hoʻolālā ka hiki o Boeing i loko o ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ke kaha o nā hanana anilā kūpono a hōʻike i nā koho ala kūpono e loaʻa.

Hāʻawi ʻo Etihad a me Boeing i ka launa pū ʻana ma ka papahana ecoDemonstrator i ka hoʻokō ʻana o ka mokulele no kāna Boeing 787 Dreamliners e lilo i wahi hoʻāʻo no ka holomua ʻenehana ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka papahana Etihad Greenliner, a ua hōʻike i ka hoʻokō paʻa ʻole a Etihad i ka hoʻomau ʻana i loko o nā pilikia COVID-19 o kēia wā. . Hoʻomau paʻa ʻia ʻo Etihad i kahi pahuhopu palena iki o nā kūpona ʻaʻohe kalapona e 2050 a me ka hapalua o nā pae hoʻokuʻu net 2019 o ka mokulele e 2035.

E kūlike me ka ʻike a Abu Dhabi a me kāna kūpaʻa i ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi o Carbon Emissions e kū i nā pahuhopu o ka Palapala Aelike ma Paris, ka hoʻomau ʻana a me ka pale ʻana i ke kaiapuni i kā Etihad DNA. Ke hoʻokani nei i kāna ʻāpana e like me ka moku lawe hae o United Arab Emirates (UAE), ke kālele nei ʻo Etihad i nā hanana holomua i ka lele ʻana me nā hana ʻē aʻe o ka Emirate o Abu Dhabi, a me ka UAE holoʻokoʻa. 

Ma ke ʻano he lālā paʻa o ka International Civil Aviation Organization, ʻo ka UAE kekahi o nā ʻāina mua i hāʻawi manawaleʻa i ka Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). I kēia lā, ke hana pū nei ʻo ka UAE me ka hui wahie kūwaho ʻo ICAO ma Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) a me Low Carbon Aviation Fuel (LCAF), a he mau mea koʻikoʻi kekahi o lāua e hiki ai i ka ulu palekana o ka ʻāpana mokulele. e hoʻēmi nei i kona ikaika kalapona.
