Mark Rober showed a version that was very quiet. Somebody figured out how to make a different propeller design that greatly minimized the noise. I'm interested to see if this could actually be feasible and make for very quiet services.


If it is feasible, we'll see such propellers on FPV kamikaze drone first.


FPV missiles have little interest in keeping the area around them a pleasant environment to live in, and are disposable one time use items. I suspect drone delivery places a higher premium on lowering noise pollution.


> little interest in keeping the area around them a pleasant environment to live in

Some interest in reducing evasive maneuvers or counter-attacks triggered by noise.


You mean the toroidal propellers?
