Ndege Iyo Inagwira Ndege Yake Yoyenda Ndege Padziko Lonse
Mu 1932, ali ndi luso la katswiri wamakina wotchuka Clarence "Kelly" Johnson, Lockheed Aircraft Corporation inapanga Lockheed Electra 10A, makina apamwamba pa nthawi yake.
Lockheed ikufuna kuti ndegeyo igwiritsidwe ntchito malonda , ndipo ikhoza kukhala ndi anthu okwera 10 omwe ali ndi antchito awiri. Chitsanzo cha 10 (osati kusokonezeka ndi Electra L-188, turboprop yomwe inabwera pambuyo pake) inayamba kutuluka mu 1934, zaka zitatu zokha pamaso pa ndege yotchuka ya Amelia Earhart.
Makampani omwe amagwiritsa ntchito Lockheed Model 10 Electra akuphatikizapo Northwest Airlines, Braniff Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, Eastern Airlines, ndi National Airlines. Model 10 Electra inayendetsedwa ndi ndege zamayiko osiyanasiyana, kuphatikizapo ogwira ntchito ku Brazil, Mexico, New Zealand, Canada, Australia ndi UK Ankhondo anathandizanso a Electra. Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Spain, ndi Britain, komanso asilikali a United States, anali ndi ndege za Electra Model 10 m'mabwalo awo.
Kupanga
Model 10 Electra inali ndege yamapiko onse-aluminiyamu yokhala ndi zida zothamangitsira, zowonongeka, komanso mapiko a mphasa.
Lockheed Aircraft Corporation inapanga mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya Electra Model 10, kuyambira pa Model 10A mpaka Model 10E. Chitsanzo cha 10E chinapatsidwa injini yamphamvu kwambiri ndipo inali chitsanzo chimene Amelia Earhart anatulukira pa kuyesayesa kwapadziko lonse.
A Electra ankafuna kuti apikisane bwino ndi ndege zina zotchuka zomwe zinali kulowa mu ndege.
Model 10 Electra inali yaing'ono komanso yotsika mtengo kupambana ndege zomwe zimapikisana ndi Boeing ndi Douglas. Monga imodzi mwa ndege zoyamba zamitundumitundu zomwe zinagwiritsidwa ntchito m'mabwalo a ndege, zinkakhala bwino pamsika wodzaza ndi ndege imodzi.
Katswiri wodabwitsa Clarence "Kelly" Johnson adamaliza kuyesa mphepo ya Model 10 Electra ndipo anali ndi udindo wowonjezera mchira wina pa ndege, yomwe inakhala yosiyana kwambiri ndi ndege za Lockheed. Johnson ndiye adapita nawo ku mapangidwe a ndege monga U-2 ndi SR-71.
Zochita ndi Mafotokozedwe
- Ma injini: injini ya horsepower ya Pratt & Whitney R-985 yokwana 400 inayikidwa pa ndege ya Model 10A, ndipo 10E inali ndi mphamvu 600 Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp SH31 yamphamvu kwambiri.
- Liwiro lachiwombankhanga: 190-194 mph
- Max Speed: 202 mph
- Mtunda: 619 nm
- Denga la Utumiki: 19,400 mapazi
- Sungani Zolemera: 6454 lbs
- Kutalika: 38 ft 7 mkati
- Kutalika: 10 ft 1 mkati
Amelia's NR16020 Kusintha
Amelia Earhart adatengera chitsanzo chake cha Model 10E Electra pa tsiku lakubadwa kwake 39. Anapatsidwa nambala yolembera NR16020, ndipo ikanakhala ndege yomwe ikuuluka padziko lonse lapansi. Poyesa kuyendayenda padziko lonse lapansi, anasintha ndegeyi mofulumira kwambiri kuti ayende ndege yaitali.
Mitengo ya mafuta inaphatikizidwa ku mapiko ndi fuselage kuti azikhalamo kwa miyendo yaitali yaitali. Pambuyo posinthidwa, panali matanki asanu ndi limodzi m'mapiko ndi asanu ndi limodzi mu fuselage. Izi zinamupangitsa kunyamula magaloni 1,150 a mafuta, okwanira kwa maola oposa 20 paulendo waulendo paulendo woyenda bwino.
Ndegeyo idakonzedwa ndi zipangizo zabwino za wailesi kwa Amelia - wailesi yatsopano ya Western Electric ndi Bendix otsogolera ma radio, omwe anali zipangizo zamakono zamakono nthawi. Kusintha komaliza kunaphatikizapo kuwonjezera pa Beat Frequency Oscillator (BFO) ya Morse code.
Akatswiri amanena kuti Amelia ayenera kuti sanaphunzirepo zokhudzana ndi zipangizo zatsopanozi, ndipo pamapeto pake amatha kuwonongeka.
Pali ndege zochepa zokha za Electra Model 10 zomwe zatsala lero. Ambiri amawonetsedwa m'mamyuziyamu.
