I-Boeing kunye ne-General Electric zilungiselela i-injini enkulu kwihlabathi ukuhamba.

Kwangoko kule veki, ezi nkampani zimbini zakhwelisa injini ye-Boeing 747-400 e-California, ngoku ka Uhambo lwemihla ngemihla . Iinqwelomoya zovavanyo zicwangciselwe ukuqala ukuphela konyaka.

Injini enkulu iya kuthi isetyenziswe kwiinqwelo-moya ezizayo ze-Boeing ezingama-777X.

Injini kukodwa sele kuphuhliso iminyaka engaphezulu kwesihlanu- kwaye loo minyaka mihlanu ichithwe ixinana kwisixa sobuchwephesha.

Abalandeli bangaphakathi bodwa banobude obuziimitha ezili-11 ububanzi, kwaye imilinganiselo engaphandle iyi-14.5 yeenyawo ububanzi. Injini iyakwazi ukuvelisa iipawundi ezingama-100,000.

Ayizukuphela kwenjini eya kuba yeyona GE inkulu eyakha yakha, iya kuba yindawo ethe cwaka kwaye ivelise ezona zinto zincinci ezikhutshwayo. Iqhayisa uninzi lwezinye izinto ezibalaseleyo, kubandakanya ezona fan zincinci, eyona nto icinezela kakhulu kwezokubhabha, kunye neenxalenye ezintsha kraca ezenziwe ngokushicilelwa nge-3D.

Iinjini zinokufakwa kwi-777X yokuqala kunyaka olandelayo kwaye iBoeing inethemba lokuvavanya inqwelo moya yayo yokuqala eyi-777-9 (eyokuqala kuthotho lwe-777X) ekuqaleni kuka-2019 . Ijethi jumbo encinci kuqikelelwa ukuba ingene kwinkonzo ngamanye amaxesha ngo-2020.

Inqwelomoya ye-Boeing ye-777X iqikelelwa ukuba ibe yeyona jet inkulu kwaye isebenze kakhulu kwihlabathi, ngokwenkampani . Iinqwelo-moya ezinje nge-Etihad, i-Emirates, kunye neLufthansa sele zibeke iiodolo.
