Kua whakaatuhia e te kaiwhakarato pokapū motuka muka waro a Carbon Revolution (Geelung, Ahitereiria) te kaha me te āheinga o ōna pokapū mama mō ngā tono rererangi, me te tuku angitu i tētahi hērakapa Boeing (Chicago, IL, US) CH-47 Chinook kua tata whakamātauhia he herikopata wira hiato.
He 35% te mama ake o tēnei wira ariā kaiwhakarato motuka Tier 1 i ngā putanga rererangi tuku iho, ā, e tutuki ana i ngā hiahia pakari, e whakarato ana i te huarahi urunga mō ētahi atu tono rererangi hiki poutū me te hōia.
Ka taea e ngā wira kua whakamātauhia mā te mariko te tu atu i te taumaha rere mōrahi o te CH-47 o te 24,500 kg.
He whai wāhitanga nui tēnei mā te kamupene waka Tier 1, a Carbon Revolution, ki te whakawhānui ake i te whakamahinga o tana hangarau ki te rāngai rererangi, ā, mā reira ka tino whakaitihia te taumaha o ngā hoahoa waka rererangi.
"Ka taea te tuku i ēnei wira ki runga i ngā hērakapa CH-47 Chinook hou, ā, ka taea hoki te whakauru ki ngā mano tini o ngā CH-47 e whakamahia ana puta noa i te ao, engari ko tā mātou whai wāhitanga tūturu kei roto i ētahi atu tono VTOL ā-iwi me ā-hoia," te whakamārama a ngā kaimahi e tika ana. "Ina koa, ko te penapena taumaha mō ngā kaiwhakahaere arumoni ka hua ake he penapena nui ki ngā utu wahie."
E ai ki te hunga whai wāhi, e whakaatu ana te kaupapa i ngā āheinga o te tīma i tua atu i te wira o tētahi motuka. Kua hangaia ngā wira kia tutuki ai te kawenga poutū mōrahi o te CH-47 neke atu i te 9,000kg mō ia wira. Hei whakataurite, e 500kg te nui o te wira e hiahiatia ana mō tētahi o ngā wira māmā rawa atu o Carbon Revolution mō tētahi motuka mahi.
"He maha ngā whakaritenga hoahoa rerekē i kawea mai e tēnei kaupapa rererangi, ā, i roto i te nuinga o ngā wā, he tino kaha ake ēnei whakaritenga i ngā motuka," te kī a te tangata. "Ko te mea i taea e mātou te whakatutuki i ēnei whakaritenga me te hanga tonu i tētahi wira mama ake he tohu i te kaha o te muka waro, me te pūkenga o tā mātou tīma ki te hoahoa i ngā wira tino kaha."
Kei roto i te pūrongo whakamana mariko i tukuna ki te Pokapū Auahatanga Tiaki ngā hua mai i te tātari huānga mutunga kore (FEA), te whakamātautau tauine iti, me te hoahoa hanganga paparanga ā-roto.
"I te wā o te hoahoa, i whakaarohia hoki e mātou ētahi atu āhuatanga nui, pērā i te tirotiro i roto i te ratonga me te āheinga hanga o te wira," te kōrero tonu a te tangata. "He mea nui ēnei hei whakarite kia whai hua ngā kaupapa pēnei i te ao tūturu mō mātou me ā mātou kiritaki."
Ko te wāhanga e whai ake nei o te kaupapa ka uru atu ki te hanga me te whakamātautau i ngā tauira wira a Carbon Revolution, me te kaha ki te whakawhānui atu ki ētahi atu tono rererangi a meake nei.
