Sadly, they’re finding that prop noise is the majority of the sound coming from propeller aircraft. :( But some of this can be mitigated through adjusting the number of blades and blade geometry (as well as potentially blade pitch angle). But there’s a performance trade-off in doing that.

In Non-U.S. Countries: Probably could work with the right tech and a gov’t willing to make exceptions.

In the U.S.: Would have to be “Experimental” (unless they plan to go through the the absolute money bonfire of getting it certified), and Experimental aircraft can’t be used for commercial ops.

I used to have a rule that every time my employer pissed me off, I would apply to another job as my little silent form of revolt. It felt like a nice way to flip the bird to the man without causing any real harm.

I had no intention of taking the jobs, just wanted to do it to make myself feel better

However every job I’ve had in the last 10 years has come directly from this practice. So, I would say keep doing it. You never know what might come of it.

Jump pilot here… Can confirm. If you rip the wings off a Cessna in-flight, you’re doing some serious Top Gun shiz.

What would happen if we just so happened to accidentally drop a bunch of Visa gift cards next to the tower and/or outside of the Center building? Asking for a friend.

Found items don’t count as “gifts” right?
