I think this one falls into the "Oh please" catagory. He provides
no documentation, and furthermore, I see no strategic value in
such aircraft, especially given the exorbitant amounts of money
necessary to develop and maintain them. Since no military
develops (or contracts elsewhere for the development of) any
aircraft for "the fun of it", I see no purpose for an silently
hovering aircraft that makes people feel strange or makes them
sick.

Militaries need aircraft to gather information about other
countries, to fight their aircraft, to attack strategic
locations, or to train pilots to perform these functions, not
buzz small towns to give them confusing light shows. Any target
can be destroyed from a hundred miles away with cruise missles.

Stealth fighters accomplished their missions in the Gulf War just
fine without "near silent operation".

What could it's purpose possibly be? Unless it carries a payload
and drops it on it's target at a hover from tree top level while
putting on a light show and making the unfortunate victims below
sick first, I'd say it would be pretty useless.
