About Silent Flyer

About company

The Silent Flyer is an autonomous bird-like flapping-wing drone developed in co-operation with Reykjavik University. The Silent Flyer uses flapping flight for lift and propulsion instead of a propeller. The unique wing design allows independent real-time control of the wings for flapping, tilting the wings, moving the wings back and forth and in and out (morphing). The wings can also be folded to the body of the bird for easy transport. Later on the wing design will enable the device to hover. The Silent Flyer combines the capabilities of a multi-rotor device such as a quad-copter and a fixed-wing airplane.
