Whisper Aero, founded by former NASA electric aircraft pioneer Mark Moore, has introduced the Tone T1 Quiet Leafblower at CES 2026, marking the world’s first aerospace-powered quiet leaf blower. Leveraging proprietary aerospace propulsion technology originally developed for electric aircraft, the Tone T1 operates 70% quieter than leading gas-powered blowers, producing just 52 dB(A) at peak thrust. Despite its low noise, it delivers superior performance with 880 cubic feet per minute airflow and 25 newtons of force, outperforming traditional gas models by 60%. This innovation addresses growing community demands for quieter, cleaner landscaping tools amid increasing regulations and noise restrictions. Beyond its noise reduction and power, the Tone T1 offers user-friendly features such as a 5-speed ToneShift control dial, a ToneLock Trigger to reduce user fatigue, a swappable 54V battery providing up to 50 minutes of runtime, and an integrated 700-lumen LED light for use in low-light conditions.
