Anicet Mbida delivers to us every morning what is best in terms of innovation.
This Monday, he is interested in the Jetoptera company which has designed a new type of aircraft engine which would be silent.
The innovation of the day is a new type of aircraft engine. And it would have the advantage of being much quieter.
This new type of aircraft was designed by the company Jetoptera.
The sound is picked up directly next to the engine.
So it's definitely quieter.
And according to them, as soon as you move away from 300 meters, this little whistle will completely blend in with the ambient noise.
We shouldn't hear anything at all.
There is a trick!
How it is possible ?
In fact, it is a propeller motor without propellers.
It works a lot like Dyson fans, you know those weird fans that don't have propellers either.
The principle: compress the air and circulate it in a certain way so that it accelerates.
It gives more power, it's more efficient than conventional propellers, and above all, it makes a lot less noise.
This is why the objective will be to use these engines for flying taxis (vertical take-off machines).
Today they look like electric helicopters.
They're making a hell of a racket.
What is not very happy for apparatuses supposed to fly above the cities.
Whereas with this new type of engine, the noise would become more acceptable.
Is it still research or are there machines that fly with it?
It is already flying.
Precisely on prototypes of flying taxis with vertical take-off.
The company has also signed a contract with the US Army.
She wants to develop even more stealthy aircraft.
Because it is useless to be invisible to radars, if we make a whole racket when we fly at low altitude.
In any case, we are mainly expecting civilian applications.
This could bring some calm near airports.
