- ʻO United ka mokulele US mua loa e kau inoa i ka ʻaelike kalepa me Boom Supersonic
- E ʻokiʻoki nā mokulele hou i nā manawa huakaʻi i ka hapalua a hana a hiki i ka 100% wahie holo kaʻa mau
Ua hoʻolaha ʻo United Airlines i kēia lā i kahi ʻaelike kalepa me ka hui aerospace ma Denver ʻO Boom Supersonic e hoʻohui i nā mokulele i kona mauʻauwaʻa honua a me kahi hoʻolālā hoʻomau paʻa - kahi neʻe e kōkua ai i kahi lele i mua i ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i nā wikiwiki supersonic i ka mokulele.
Ma lalo o nā ʻōlelo o ka ʻaelike, Hawaiian Airlines e kūʻai iā 15 o nā mokulele 'Overture' a Boom, ke hui ʻo Overture me ko United koi koi palekana, ka hana ʻana a me ka hoʻomau pono ʻana, me kahi koho no kahi mokulele he 35 hou aʻe. E hana pū nā ʻoihana i ka hoʻokō ʻana i kēlā mau koi ma mua o ka lawe ʻana. Ke holo nei, manaʻo ʻia ʻo Overture ka mokulele kalepa nui mua loa e lilo i net-zero carbon mai ka lā ʻekahi, optimized to run on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Hoʻolālā ʻia e ʻōwili i 2025, lele i 2026 a manaʻo ʻia e lawe i nā mea kaʻa e 2029. E hana pū pū ʻo United a me Boom e wikiwiki i ka hana o nā lako ʻoi aku o SAF.
"Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo United i kāna huakaʻi e kūkulu i kahi mokulele holomua hou aku, a me nā holomua o kēia mau lā i ka ʻenehana ke kūpono nei no ia e hoʻokomo i nā mokulele supersonic. ʻO kā Boom manaʻo no ka wā e hiki mai ana o nā mokulele kalepa, i hui pū ʻia me ka ʻoihana ʻoihana ʻoi loa o ka ʻoihana o ka honua, e hāʻawi i nā huakaʻi huakaʻi a me nā huakaʻi leʻaleʻa i kahi ʻike lele nui loa, "ʻO kā mākou mikiona e pili mau ana i ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā poʻe a ke hana nei me Boom, hiki iā mākou ke hana i kēlā me kahi pālākiō ʻoi aku ka nui."
Hiki ke lele i nā wikiwiki o Mach 1.7 - ʻelua manawa ka wikiwiki o nā airliners ʻoi loa o kēia lā - Hiki iā Overture ke hoʻohui i nā wahi he 500 a ʻoi i ka hapa o ka manawa. Ma waena o nā huakaʻi hiki ke hiki hou aku no United ʻo Newark i Ladana i loko o ʻekolu wale nō a me ka hapa hola, Newark i Frankfurt i ʻehā mau hola a me Kapalakiko i Tokyo i loko o ʻeono mau hola. E hoʻolālā ʻia ʻo Overture me nā hiʻohiʻona e like me nā pale leʻaleʻa o ka noho, kahi pilikino pilikino, a me ka ʻenehana ʻike ʻole. ʻO ka hana ʻana me Boom kekahi mea ʻē aʻe o kā United hoʻolālā hoʻolālā e hoʻopukapuka i nā ʻenehana hou e kūkulu i kahi holomua e hiki mai ana o ka huakaʻi ea.
"ʻO ka ʻaelike kūʻai mua a ka honua no net-zero carbon supersonic mokulele kahi ʻanuʻu nui i kā mākou nuʻukia e hana i kahi honua i hiki ke maʻalahi ʻia," wahi a Blake Scholl, hoʻokumu a me CEO ʻo Boom Supersonic. "Māhele ʻo United lāua ʻo Boom i kahi kumu maʻamau - e hoʻohui i ka honua me ka palekana a me ka hoʻomau. Ma ka wikiwiki ʻelua wikiwiki ʻana, e ʻike nā mea holo kaʻahele United i nā pono āpau o ke ola i noho kino ʻia, mai nā pilina ʻoi aku ka hohonu o nā ʻoihana ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi, nā hoʻomaha hoʻomaha hou aku i nā wahi mamao loa.
