    I’m almost afraid to bring it up; but there’s a drone system being/was being used in Africa to deliver medications and whatnot that use blades designed after Owl wings that make almost no sound. It just sounds like a small gust of wind.

      Is that those helical rotors? They’re supposed to be quite good in many ways, not just the noise.

          Incredible stuff! The sound is so buttery. People who understand harmonics and sound engineering amaze me. I’d love to build a quadcopter that sounds like this.

          Pretty slick invidious links there too, last time I used that it wasn’t a very good experience, glad it’s come this far.
