Ukumangala, ukumangala! Kuke kwakhulunywa ngembangi eqanjiwe yakwaNissan ezokwethulwa embukisweni waseTokyo weToyota GT86, kanti “imilomo” yakwaNissan yakamuva mayelana neGT86, obekuyimoto enzima ephakathi kwempilo, ibingeke ikuvumele ukuthi uqagele ukuqina komqondo wokuthi babelungiselela. Madoda namanenekazi, lena iNissan BladeGlider.
Futhi ngemva kwakho konke, yisiphi isidalwa esingavamile lesi? E-Razão Automóvel, sase sishilo kakade nge-Nissan ZEOD RC, umshini wokuguqula i-contouring ozohlasela i-LeMans ngo-2014. Ukwakheka kwayo kwe-delta kuvela ku-DeltaWing yasekuqaleni nesheshayo, futhi indoda engemuva kwayo, u-Ben Bowlby, nayo ibhekene ne-ZEOD. RC futhi manje iNissan BladeGlider, okuzoba imoto yokuqala emgwaqeni egqugquzelwe yilesi sizukulwane esisha sezimoto zomjaho. Isizathu somumo we-delta silungiswa ngokuthola amanani aphansi we-aerodynamic drag, njengoba ine-cross-section encane kakhulu kunezimoto ezivamile, ngaleyo ndlela ithola ukusebenza kahle okukhulu.
I-Nissan yenza imali engcono kakhulu kulokho okungangabazeki okuzoba ngesinye sezindaba ezinhle kakhulu ezivelele kuhlelo olulandelayo lwe-LeMans. Ngisho nokuba “njengombangi” ukubuya okusemthethweni kwePorsche emjahweni, naphezu kokuya kumaLeMans ngezinjongo ezihlukene.
I-Nissan BladeGlider iziveza yona, njenge-ZEOD RC, enobubanzi bethrekhi obuncane obuncane kakhulu, imitha eyodwa nje, iqhathaniswa nethrekhi evamile nebanzi yangemuva. Inezihlalo ezi-3, ezilingisa indawo ephezulu engunxantathu, lapho umshayeli esendaweni emaphakathi, ephekwe izihlalo ezimbili ezibheke ngemuva. Kusukela i-McLaren F1 besingenalo leli lungiselelo, ukubeka umshayeli phakathi kwayo yonke into, futhi ngaphandle kokungabaza, okwenza isipiliyoni sokushayela sibe into eyingqayizivele.
I-BladeGlider ingu-100% kagesi, inamamotho akhelwe emasondweni angemuva. Akukabikho idatha ephathelene namandla, ukusebenza noma ububanzi, kodwa kuyaziwa ukuthi ukusabalalisa kwesisindo kuzoba ngu-30-70, nengemuva, ngokubikezela, kube uhhafu osindayo. Ibukeka ingalinganiseli neze, kodwa yonke iyingxenye ye-equation eyinkimbinkimbi, isebenzisa ukusatshalaliswa kwesisindo kanye ne-aerodynamics, okuvumela le moto ukuthi ingadluli ekhoneni lokuqala, njengoba kusikisela ukumiswa kwayo.
Umsebenzi womzimba, kanye nomqondo omningi, wenziwa nge-carbon fiber. Ngokubukeka, ihlukaniswe ngamathoni amabili, ingxenye engezansi ibe mnyama futhi ingxenye engaphezulu ibe mhlophe, ekhiqiza uketshezi kanye namakhontosi anesitayela, ingxenye engaphezulu ibonakale intanta noma, ithatha ingxenye yegama lomqondo, i-Glider, i-toor. I-windshield namafasitela kucishe kufane ne-visor ye-helmet, futhi nakuba iningi lezithombe libonisa imoto evuliwe, sithola ukukhishwa kwe-BladeGlider enophahla ongalukhetha endaweni.
Izicabha nazo azifani, ziwuhlobo lwe-butterfly-wing, uma zivuleka, isihlalo somshayeli siya eceleni, kube lula ukungena nokuphuma. Khumbula nje ukufinyelela ngaphakathi kweMcLaren F1 ukuze ubone ukuthi le nqubo ingaba mnandi kangakanani. Ingaphakathi libuye libe yifuturistic. Igqugquzelwe umhlaba wezokundiza futhi njengoba singabona kwezinye zezithombe ezinikeziwe, i-glider (I-Glider), enemigqa ewuketshezi kanye nokungqubuzana okuncane, futhi ehlala ithule, kufanele kube yisiqubulo esiyinhloko somklamo we-BladeGlider. Sithola isondo lokuqondisa elisebenza emoyeni kakhulu elithi “U”, kanye nephaneli yedijithali enezithombe ezibukeka ziyinkimbinkimbi ebonisa yonke into kusukela kumamephu okusiza ukuya kuzimo zomoya.
Ukubukeka kwemoto kuzohlale kuyinselele ukusho okuncane, futhi ngeke iphumelele emiqhudelwaneni yonobuhle, kodwa kufanele sishayele ihlombe abakwaNissan ngesenzo sokuphakamisa isigigaba esinje ngamasondo. Isenzo sangempela sobuqhawe, noma ubuhlanya, kuye ngombono wakho, kuzoba ukuguquka kusuka kulo mqondo kuya ekukhiqizeni. Esikhathini esedlule, abakwaNissan baye badlulisela imiqondo yokukhiqiza ebukeka iyinselele futhi engeke ilindeleke ukuba ibe yinto engokoqobo yezimboni, efanekiselwa yiNissan Juke, elokhu ithembekile emcabangweni oqinile owayisungula, iQazana. Kepha iBladeGlider ifinyelela imikhawulo emisha yomqondo.
Inguqulo yokukhiqiza ye-BladeGlider, ngokusho kwenhloko yezokwakhiwa kwaNissan, u-Shiro Nakamura, ngeke idlulele njengomqondo esiwubona manje. I-ekseli yangaphambili kufanele ibe banzi, kodwa isazoba mncane kakhulu kunobubanzi bomzila wangemuva, futhi indawo yokushayela emaphakathi kuzoba okokugcina. Kanye nokuqhutshwa kukagesi.
Ngokusho kwezikhulu zakwaNissan uma kuziwa ezimotweni zayo zezemidlalo, iBladeGlider izobekwa ngaphansi kwe-370Z, kodwa uma kubhekwa izici zomqondo, kufanele kube ikhadi elibiza kakhulu lesizukulwane esilandelayo sezimoto zikagesi ezivela kwaNissan, noma ngisho nezikagesi. imoto ngokwayo, iphinde ifune ukukhanga izizukulwane ezincane zabashayeli bakusasa, abangenandaba kangako nemoto. KwaNissan kuyacaca ukuthi abayifuni imoto yezimo ezibucayi. Kodwa ngenani elilindelekile elingaphansi kwe-€ 35,000, lisephezulu kakhulu kubantu abasha abaningi, okuthi, uma benikezwe umongo wamanje, baqhubeke nokubheka umsebenzi nokuzimela ngokwezimali kubazali babo.
Kunoma yikuphi, ngishayela ihlombe iNissan ngesibindi sayo. Isiphakamiso sento entsha, kodwa esinengqikithi yokuxhasa izixazululo ezethulwayo, kufanele kube yinjwayelo hhayi okuhlukile embonini. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uyathanda noma awuthandi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukuphumelela kwezohwebo noma cha, i-BladeGlider ingaba yisikhuthazo kwabanye ukuthi babheke izixazululo ezintsha zemoto, iyikhiphe ekuwohlokeni kokuziphendukela kwemvelo ezithola ikuyo. Isinyathelo esidingekayo, ngisho nokuqinisekisa ukuhambisana kwayo.
Kodwa-ke, umbuzo ophakamayo, futhi kancane kancane ngabanye, bangazibona behlezi ngemuva kwesondo noma abathengi be-Nissan BladeGlider?
