Pono ʻo Skylon e lanakila i ka stratosphere i XNUMX mau minuke ma hope o ka lele ʻana

ʻO ka ʻenehana o nā ʻenekini jet hiki ke hana i ka lewa a me nā ʻenekini rocket ex-atmospheric, i kapa ʻia ʻo SABER, pono e hoʻohana ʻia i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā "spaceships" hiki ke piʻi i ka 30 km / h. hola

Ma muli o kēia ʻenehana, makemake nā ʻenekini Pelekane e kūkulu i nā mokulele Skylon hiki ke hiki i ka stratosphere he ʻumikumamālima mau minuke ma hope o ka lele ʻana. Manaʻo ʻia nā kaʻa he mea hoʻokūkū paha i ka ʻōnaehana huakaʻi suborbital a Richard Branson. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole like me nā ʻāpana Virgin Galactic i lawe ʻia e ka mokulele kahi e lele ai lākou i ka orbit haʻahaʻa, pono e lele pololei ka Skylon a me ka nānā ʻole i ke ala holo i kona kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe.

Hoʻokumu ʻia ka ʻenekini SABER ma kahi ʻano hana ʻelua o ka hana - holo ia ma luna o ka wahie hydrogen i puhi ʻia e ka ea e hele ai i nā paipu intake, kahi e hoʻopili ʻia a hoʻomaha ʻia i kahi mahana kokoke i kahi kūlana wai. Hiki i kēia ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka compressor a me ka ʻōnaehana compressor e hana ana i kahi kaapuni helium paʻa.

Komo ka ea maalili i loko o ke keʻena kuni, a hoʻohana ʻia ka wela mai ke kaʻina hoʻoluʻu e wela ai ka wahie hydrogen wai ma mua o ka hoʻokomo ʻia ʻana i loko o ke keʻena puhi. Hoʻomaka ke kaʻina hana ma kahi wikiwiki he 5,5 mau manawa o ka wikiwiki o ke kani a me ke kiʻekiʻe i lilo ai ka ea i rarefied. Hoʻopili koke nā mokulele, a hele ka mīkini i ke ʻano "rocket" o ka hana ma ka wahie hydrogen.

Eia kahi hiʻohiʻona wikiō o ka mikiona Skylon.
