Izindiza zishesha ngokuphindwe kahlanu kunomsindo

I-US Air Force ihlose ukwakha indiza esebenzayo esekelwe ku-prototype hypersonic X-51 Waverider, eyahlolwa cishe eminyakeni emibili edlule e-Pacific Ocean. Ngokusho kochwepheshe be-DARPA abasebenza kule phrojekthi, ekuqaleni kuka-2023, kungase kuvele uhlobo olusebenzisekayo lwendiza yendiza enesivinini esingaphezu kuka-Mach XNUMX.

I-X-51, ngesikhathi sezindiza zokuhlola endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha angu-20, yafinyelela isivinini esingaphezu kuka-6200 km/h. I-scramjet yakhe ikwazile ukusheshisa ngaleli jubane futhi ibingakhama iphume ngaphezulu, kodwa yaphelelwa uphethiloli. Kunjalo, amasosha ase-US akacabangi ngale nqubo hhayi ezomphakathi, kodwa ngezinjongo zempi.

IScramjet (ifushane ngeSupersonic Combustion Ramjet) iyinjini yejethi evuthayo engasetshenziswa ngesivinini esingaphezu kwaleso se-ramjet evamile. Indiza yomoya igelezela ku-inlet diffuser yenjini yejethi enamandla kakhulu ngesivinini esidlula isivinini somsindo, iyancishiswa, icindezelwe, futhi iguqule ingxenye yamandla ayo e-kinetic ibe ukushisa, okubangela ukwanda kwezinga lokushisa. Khona-ke uphethiloli wengezwa ekamelweni elivuthayo, elivutha emfudlaneni, lisahamba ngesivinini esiphezulu, okuholela ekwandeni okwengeziwe kokushisa kwalo. Ku-nozzle ekhulayo, i-jet iyakhula, iphole futhi isheshise. I-Trust ingumphumela oqondile wesistimu yokucindezela ekhula ngaphakathi kwenjini, futhi ubukhulu bayo bulingana noshintsho lwenani lesikhathi senani lokunyakaza eligeleza enjinini yomoya.
