This AIAA paper from SCITECH 2017 conveys the supreme importance of ultra-low noise to the sustainability and profitability of Regional Sky Transit. It contains new insights about the extraordinary design challenges of matching V/ESTOL performance with ultra-low noise in small 2-seat Sky Taxis, introduces the helpful concept of “Noise to pavement ratio” or NPR, and … Read more

Electrically-powered, V/ESTOL aircraft can use their high capacity battery pack to operate a new type of electric landing gear system—the tactile active gear (TAG). The TAG concept is that of a smart system whose position, strain, motion and acceleration sensors detect and provide input for a software-guided precise positioning control of its long-travel landing gear … Read more
