Whisper Aero revealed new details of its JetFoil propulsion concept, positioning the ducted fan system for short and ...

Whisper Aero says its JetFoil enables conventional, short, or vertical takeoff and landing in the same form factor.

Whisper Aero says its electric aircraft propulsion systems are "20% more efficient and 100x quieter than anything else on the market." They're designed for drones, planes and possibly eVTOLs, and ...

German propulsion developer Schubeler Technologies has launched the eP05-21, a new electric ducted fan specifically designed for the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) industry's eVTOL aircraft. This product ...

The aerodynamic performance of ducted propulsion systems centres on the integration of a rotor or fan within a cylindrical or annular shroud to control airflow and improve efficiency. By enclosing the ...

An efficient propulsion system, developed by a Tennessee-based company, is soon expected to power a single-seat glider. Whisper Aero claims that its propulsion systems minimize noise and offer 20% ...

A new study reveals how noise is generated and propagated from these engines, technically known as boundary layer ingesting (BLI) ducted fans. The mystery of how futuristic aircraft embedded engines, ...

Electric aviation is in its infancy, equivalent to the piston era of a century ago. But propulsion startup Whisper Aero is already working to enable the transition from the propeller age to the jet ...

Most of the work so far on the electrification of aviation has involved propeller-driven aircraft and the development of electric propulsion units that can replace turboprop engines. Now GKN Aerospace ...

When designing an aircraft for the electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) industry one would think most of the aircraft architecture would focus on vertical lift capabilities. However, German ...

The mystery of how futuristic aircraft embedded engines, featuring an energy-conserving arrangement, make noise has been solved by researchers at the University of Bristol. The study, published today ...
