Today, more than 50 companies joined Whisper Aero for its inaugural Supplier Summit at its headquarters in Crossville, Tennessee. The one-day event provided an exclusive opportunity for suppliers to connect with the Whisper Aero team, meet engineers working on ultra-quiet, ultra-efficient propulsion, and receive the new Supplier Handbook.
The summit attracted companies specializing in batteries, motors, power electronics, metallics, composites, and engineering polymers. Patrick Brew, part of the Whisper Aero team organizing the event, emphasized the importance of building stronger connections with both existing and new suppliers.
“This event is about finding better ways to connect with our supply base,” said Brew. “We want to get to know them better, explain where the company is heading, and what partners we need. By having everyone at our facility, we can share more information than via Zoom or phone calls.”
The summit aimed to address all markets Whisper Aero is involved in, including defense (DOD), aerospace, and consumer products. The company has engaged with a wide range of suppliers, from experienced aerospace quality providers to those focused on affordability.
Ian Villa, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at Whisper Aero, highlighted the strategic importance of the event. “It’s exciting to bring both big and small players together. It’s about building the best possible product with the right strategic partners. Sometimes that means working with large companies with vast resources, and other times it’s about smaller teams that match our pace and mindset.”
For companies that missed the application deadline, Whisper Aero plans to make the Supplier Summit an annual event. Villa added that companies can still reach out for a supplier handbook after the event.
