Whisper Jet

In 1993 we started the development and FAA certification of a nine passenger Transport Category Super Quiet helicopter appropriately named the Whisper Jet. Development and Certification to make the world's quietest production helicopter took nine years and included a new five blade quiet rotor system and a turbine powerplant with silencers. The primary mission for the Whisper Jet was tour flights over noise sensitive areas such as the Grand Canyon. We also developed a plush interior with large windows and a window looking down through the floor, air conditioning, and sound systems. At that time the company grew to 80 employees and 30,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing and office space.
