Prototype and performance validation in progress

Bubo Stealth Propeller

Engineering a quieter
path to flight

STEAM LAB is developing Bubo Stealth Propeller with engineered blade microtextures.
Prototypes and comparative tests will evaluate noise, thrust, and power together.

Technology

Bubo explores how blade microtextures may influence local airflow.

  • Surface design

    We create and screen candidate blade surface structures.

  • Comparative testing

    We evaluate thrust, power, and noise under defined conditions.

  • Manufacturability

    We check feature fidelity and rotating-part safety.

Validation

We will assess design effects at matched RPM and operating value at matched thrust.
