r&d - uav muffler

The NW UAV muffler was designed to solve two technical problems inherent in current muffler designs: excessive noise, and air flow blockages within the structure of the muffler.

Referring to past successful uses of fiberglass as a sound deadener, NW UAV technicians have developed a muffler that suppresses noise by using fiberglass packing material. The muffler, due to its unique internal design of air flow passages, does not block air flow. The internal air is not sent through the packing as in other designs, but rather around the packing.

NWUAV has beat out several competitors with an in house muffler design that is currently being staged for deployment on the Scan Eagle and Integrator UAV’s.

The unique design results in lower fuel consumption, higher power and lower noise.
