A team at the MIT Institute Cambridge has developed a completely silent Aircraft. The Aircraft named SAX-40 has a unique blended wing design that enables a completely silent operation.
The researchers have made the aircraft after three years of research and work.
The plane’s wings are blended into a wide tailless smooth body. The body is made as smooth as possible so that there is no turbulent airflow that causes noise. The plane has improved lift that means that it will make a slower approach for landing that will again reduce the noise.
The engines of the plane are embedded within the body of the plane with air intakes at the top. This also reduces the noise when the plane takes off.
All in all the plane features a variety of new technologies that will contribute in reducing the noise the plane makes while taking off or while landing.
