WHY ENCLOSED PROPULSION

Conventional drones expose the most dangerous part.

Open high-speed propellers, limited battery endurance, blade wash, noise, and operational constraints restrict conventional drones near people, vehicles, structures, and sensitive environments.

Conventional Multirotor

  • Exposed rotating propellers
  • Greater stand-off distance around people and structures
  • Battery-limited mission duration
  • Higher risk of contact with branches, cables, and nearby surfaces

Development Roadmap

From Controlled Lift to Tethered Hover

TARVYN is advancing from controlled lift demonstration toward tethered hover, active stabilization, airflow optimization, system integration, and partner-supported pilot programs.

01 Completed

Core Lift Principle

Controlled lift demonstrated in guided prototype testing.

02 In Progress

Tethered Hover

Development of active stabilization, control authority, and tethered hover performance.

03 Next

System Optimization

Refinement of airflow geometry, thermal management, acoustics, structure, and weight balance.

04 Pilot Direction

Public Safety Platform

Integrated tethered aerial lighting and observation platform for controlled environments and partner pilot programs.

02 / Target Configuration

A practical path to persistent flight.

TARVYN's first intended configuration is a tethered aerial lighting and observation platform. A ground-connected architecture is being developed to support continuous power, a controlled operating boundary, and secure data transmission.

03 / Technology

The propulsion stays inside.

TARVYN's architecture creates airflow within enclosed propulsion modules, manages it through internal channels, and redirects it through controlled deflectors to generate lift.

TARVYN enclosed impeller propulsion system and airflow explanation
01

Air intake

Centrifugal fans draw air through optimized inlets.

02

Acceleration

Internal channels manage and accelerate airflow.

03

Deflection

Curved deflectors redirect airflow downward.

04

Lift generation

Dynamic pressure creates useful lift without open propellers.

Controlled lift has been demonstrated through guided prototype testing. Active stabilization, efficiency optimization, and integrated tethered operation remain in development.

04 / Missions

Designed around real missions.

These future deployment concepts show where a controlled, tethered aerial platform could support longer-duration visibility once engineering milestones and validation are complete.
