Whisper Aero's Flight Test Center
“We fundamentally challenged how to convert electricity into thrust, resulting in cleaner, quieter, and more efficient operation without compromises.”
Onsite Requirements:
All visitors are required to wear close-toed shoes to all Whisper facilities.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times during demo.
Whisper Aero’s Flight Test Center will feature high bay areas for Whisper to test and integrate its propulsion system on future aircraft as well as office spaces for onsite engineering.
“This is another partnership with the state to help the city and to help Whisper Aero to build something that’s very needed, that’s very unique, that hasn’t been done in Tennessee before,” said Tennessee Speaker of the House, Cameron Sexton.

🚗Getting to The Test Flight Center
Centrally located between Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga, Crossville is the home of Trade-A-Plane and the Cumberland County Playhouse. Crossville is also the golf capital of Tennessee with 11 championship golf courses.
After a year of construction, the flight test center is ready for Whisper’s engineers to begin work on the company’s next wave of products. Ultimately, the team intends to use hangar space to install newly-built propulsors from its 40,000 sqft Crossville headquarters onto customer airframes at multiple sizes.
