Whisper Aero’s Post

there are many new exciting technologies and capabilities emerging in #aviation these days, #evtol #autonomy and #advancedairmobility among them, but few are as exciting as the electric jet technology being worked by Whisper Aero and Mark Moore 100 x quieter and 20% more efficient than current-gen jet engines.

Aerospace Testing with Dummies - Aerospace Testing Int'l Magazine Crash test dummies (ATDs) are synonymous with automotive testing, but the first crash test dummy was actually used in aerospace testing, and their use has only continued to grow. For NASA’s recent unmanned Artemis-1 mission there were 3 ATDs onboard. “Among the companies that provided Anthropomorphic test device (ATD) equipment for the Artemis-1 mission was California, USA-based DTS, which makes the data acquisition systems (DAQ) and sensors used to collect and store data on the dummies. ‘We were part of a revolution in making it practical to put all the data acquisition inside the ATD,’ says Mike Beckage, DTS’ co-founder and chief technical officer.” Read the full article . . . https://hubs.li/Q026PqVC0 #AerospaceSafetyTesting #CrashTestDummy #NASA #Artemis #ATD #AstronautSafetyTesting #DTS

Looking forward to attending next week's 2024 Stratospheric Operation and Research Symposium, in Grand Forks, ND. Aeroprobe is excited to support this rapidly developing unmanned flight market by supplying the Hyperion Micro Air Data System to provide the high-accuracy aerodynamic measurements necessary for stratospheric flight control. When combined with Aeroprobe’s lightweight, heated multi-function Air Data Probe, the Hyperion’s capabilities are extensive. The system provides airflow measurements at Indicated Airspeeds as low as 5 knots, delivering critical real-time measurements of flight control parameters such as airspeed (both indicated and true), angle-of-attack, angle-of-sideslip, and barometric altitude. It achieves operational altitudes up to an impressive 75,000 feet, elevating the standard for accuracy and reliability. In addition to its remarkable performance metrics, the Hyperion has a lightweight profile, weighing less than 300 grams, and operates with minimal power consumption as low as 1 watt. The optional inclusion of an integrated Attitude Heading and Reference System further enhances its capabilities by enabling inertial and orientation measurements. #aeroprobe #hale #airdata #uav #unmannedsystems https://lnkd.in/eSa7FT3Y

It is great for us The George Washington University - School of Engineering & Applied Science and our collaborators to get recognized by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. To address the safety concerns brought by new aircraft types, our ongoing in-time learning-based system-wide safety project has been focused on (1) wind impacts to small UAS and eVTOL's mission success (mission-level safety), (2) fault diagnosis and adaptive control from the electric propulsion system (vehicle-level safety), and (3) non-cooperative or compromised autonomous aircraft in the airspace (airspace-level safety). Simulation demos and final flight tests will be completed in this summer. #nasa #aam #aircraftautonomy #aircraftbattery #aviationweather

Not sure how I missed this excellent article that recaps the key FAA and NASA breakthroughs in 2023. DroneLife.com and author Akshata really did their work on this article finding authoritive sources. I believe at least three other items are noteworthy. 1. The DoTs call for inputs on behalf of the AAM Interagency Working Group for the National AAM strategy was comprehensive in both its scope of issues as well as stakeholder engagement. 2. The FAA’s proposed MOSAIC rules could significantly impact small aircraft certification, as well as pilot and mechanic liscensing in the future if passed. 3. The FAA’s Reauthorization by Congress provided both funding and direction that supports acceleration of BVLOS approval standards and AAM’s incorporation into the National Airspace. What else caught your eye from NASA and the FAA? #aam #dronelife #nasa #faa #singleseatconsulting

In Part 2 of our #WhisperDemos series you can see our Demo Drone in flight. Our ultra-quiet propulsor blends into the background, providing a seamlessly silent flight from 250 ft. To put things in perspective, we’re quieter than rainfall, a quiet office space, or even a normal conversation. Not only that, we require just a fraction of the power to propel our vehicle compared to others in the space. We achieved this through rapid design iteration, numerous flight tests, and a stellar team. This is the key to unlocking a truly considerate and compelling future of flight. Ultra-quiet engines are easy to miss - wear headphones and listen carefully to our fan below. ✈ Interested in joining us? https://lnkd.in/eiuQi4B8 NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration SOFWERX AFWERX Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) ARPA-E Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) Southwest Mission Acceleration Center (MAC) #whisper #quiet #electric #propulsion #drones #aviation #innovation
