View of a Silent Flyer, a wing-flapping drone that looks and flies like a bird., on display at DroneX 2023
Flygildi has been closely looking at nature and created a unique, bio-inspired Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system, named the Silent Flyer. 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. he 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, , for flapping, tilting, morphing and moving back and forth, and can be folded to the body of the bird for easy transport. Bird-like flying and maneuvering characteristics Highly natural, customizable appearance Gliding and hovering capabilities Increased endurance through gilding Low noise emission level, noiseless gliding Ability to operate in windy conditions Able to host user-specific sensors/payload up to 200g Real-time data collection Increased work efficiency Reduced workload and operational costs Take offand landing without ground infrastructure Altitude capability of over 300m and a flying speed of 55km/h (30 knots). Can be folded together for easy transport
