The Silent Flyer is a wing-flapping drone that looks and flies like a bird. Natural flight characteristics and quiet gliding makes the drone an ideal solution for security and surveillance applications. Our Journey Beyond current drone technology The challenges of the current drone technology are noise due to rotors, propellers, or jet engines, and in case of fixed wings vehicles, the difficulty to hover and maneuver in small spaces and take-off/land without ground infrastructure. Flygildi's Silent Flyer takes UAV technology to the next level and represents a new generation of drone, with the advantages of a fixed-wing and multirotor systems while avoiding their disadvantages. The Silent Flyer can be customized to mimic different seagull-sized bird types which will facilitate blending in with local avian species, making visual detection difficult and reducing the environmental impact on autochthonous species. FEATURES The novelty of the Silent Flyer lies in the design of the bird-like flapping wings and tail, which can be categorized as controllable structures. The independently controlled wings have four degrees of freedom, i.e., for flapping, tilting, morphing and moving back and forth, and can be folded to the body of the bird for easy transport.
