PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Helicopters play a critical role in modern transportation, from urban air mobility to emergency medical services and defense missions. However, one of the greatest challenges in rotorcraft design and operation is managing vibrations caused by the powerful mechanics of rotary systems. Mitigating the vibration matters because Helicopters face inherent vibration issues due to the dynamic interaction of rotors, engines, and airframes. Left unchecked, vibrations can lead to: Structural Fatigue and Maintenance Costs: Excessive vibrations accelerate wear and tear on critical components, increasing maintenance needs and reducing operational uptime; Reduced Passenger Comfort: Vibrations compromise the quality of the flight experience, particularly in urban air mobility where passenger satisfaction is critical; Operational Inefficiencies: Vibrations affect avionics performance and fuel efficiency, directly impacting mission success; and Effective vibration mitigation technologies ensure smoother, safer, and more efficient helicopter operations while extending the service life of rotorcraft systems. According to a report from Nova1Advisor said: “The U.S. vibration control system market size is projected to hit around $1.62 Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period 2024 to 2033. Vibration control systems (VCS) effectively detect and analyze vibrations by utilizing advanced algorithms and precision sensors, providing real-time feedback and control mechanisms to reduce vibration intensity to safe and manageable levels, which if not controlled or managed, can lead to equipment damage, safety hazards, and decreased productivity.” Active companies in news today include: KULR Technology Group, Inc.
