Why quietness matters.
Over an entire roundtrip flight we modeled, noise from our aircraft only exceeded ambient noise for 0.17 square miles, dropping to 0.004 square miles when cruising. A traditional helicopter exceeded ambient noise for 45 square miles. Our aircraft is designed to sound like a rush of wind, blending into the ambient noise of a city.
