A noise-cancelling game changer

The toroidal propeller's unique, closed-form design makes it a significantly quieter alternative to common multirotor propellers on commercial uncrewed aerial vehicles.

Turning a ring wing into a propeller reduces noise in the 1-5 kHz range and creates a much less intrusive sound reminiscent of a breeze rather than a high pitch drone propeller. At the same time, propulsion stays at the known levels.
