Ukwaphawule ukuba umsebenzi wesixhobo, obizwa ngokuba yiBlue Moon, sele wenziwe iminyaka emithathu. Ngokwedatha esemthethweni, imodeli ebonisiweyo yesixhobo inokuhambisa ukuya kuthi ga kwiitoni ezi-6,5 zomthwalo kumphezulu wesathelayithi yendalo yoMhlaba.
Kuxelwe ukuba isixhobo esibonisiweyo sinikwe amandla yi-injini ye-BE-7, esebenzisa i-hydrogen engamanzi kunye neoksijini engamanzi njengamafutha.
