Whisper Aero has lifted the curtains on a new aircraft concept known as the Whisper Jet, which utilizes the company’s next-generation, ultraquiet propulsion system. For more than two years, the secretive Tennessee-based start-up has been developing what it claims will be the quietest and most efficient propulsion system on the market. 

Just a few weeks ago, Whisper revealed that its propulsion system uses a special type of electric ducted fan, but the company was not yet ready to divulge exactly what makes its ducted fans quieter and more efficient than any other. Now Whisper is finally sharing some more of the recipe for its secret sauce.
