Silent Helicopter Blades

Cutting down on the 'blade-vortex interaction' that causes the loudness of helicopters today, Blue Edge works with another technology called Blue Pulse to combat that phenomenon.

According to Gizmodo, by adding 3 flaps to the edge of the Blue Edge blade, they "move up and down at 15 to 40 times per second, using piezoelectric motors that also help to reduce the blade-vortex interaction."
