Comparative Figures
Noise Level Reduction*
On average, noise development is reduced by 5 dbA in the near-field region (1-5 meters). From that results a perceived noise reduction up to 25 percent. (On the basis of the general determination, that a reduction by 10 dbA corresponds to halving the perceived noises.)
Power Saving*
The power input is reduced by 2.1 A, and thus up to 24 percent. In practice, this means higher efficiency with the same wing profile. Blade tip speed: approx. 206 m/sec
