Boundary Layer Ingestion Ducted Fan: Aeroacoustic and Psychoacoustic Insights (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Ahmed, F., Ramos-Romero, C. A., Torija Martinez, A. J., & Azarpeyvand, M. (2024). Boundary Layer Ingestion Ducted Fan: Aeroacoustic and Psychoacoustic Insights. . https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2024-3379

An in-depth experimental study was conducted to investigate the noise characteristics of a ducted fan ingesting an adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer, typical of those encountered in novel airframe-integrated propulsion systems. To ga... Read More about Boundary Layer Ingestion Ducted Fan: Aeroacoustic and Psychoacoustic Insights.

Synthesis and Auralisations of Quadcopter Flyovers for Psychoacoustic Assessment. (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Ramos-Romero, C. A., Green, M., & Torija Martinez, A. J. (2024). Synthesis and Auralisations of Quadcopter Flyovers for Psychoacoustic Assessment. . https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2024-3272

This paper describes a methodology to generate auralisations of quadcopter flyovers from recordings of hovering operations. The primary focus of this investigation is reproducing changes in the tonal components at the blade passing frequencies and th...

Acoustic and Psychoacoustic Characterisation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems as a Function of Vehicle Mass and Flight Procedure (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Torija Martinez, A. J., Ramos-Romero, C. A., & Green, N. (2024). Acoustic and Psychoacoustic Characterisation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems as a Function of Vehicle Mass and Flight Procedure. . https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2024-3235

Previous studies have found the noise emission of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) highly dependent on the vehicle mass and flight procedure. These changes in noise emission, as well as the position of the UAS relative to the receiver, have led to cha...

Aerodynamics and Acoustics of Asymmetric Propellers With Uneven Blade Spacing (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Usov, D., Koning, D., Chronis, T., Filippone, A., Akiwate, D., & Torija Martinez, A. J. (2024). Aerodynamics and Acoustics of Asymmetric Propellers With Uneven Blade Spacing. . https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2024-3265

The presented work aims to establish whether asymmetric propellers with uneven blade spacing offer any acoustic benefits over a conventional propeller with identical blade geometry. An experimental investigation was conducted to measure static thrust... Read More about Aerodynamics and Acoustics of Asymmetric Propellers With Uneven Blade Spacing.

Perception of noise from unmanned aircraft systems: Efficacy of metrics for indoor and outdoor listener positions (2024)
Journal Article
Green, N., Torija, A. J., & Ramos-Romero, C. (2024). Perception of noise from unmanned aircraft systems: Efficacy of metrics for indoor and outdoor listener positions. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 155(2), 915-929. https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0024522

This paper presents the results of a listening experiment designed to assess annoyance and perceived loudness (PL) for several unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operations, with the listener simulated in indoor and outdoor positions. This research inves... Read More about Perception of noise from unmanned aircraft systems: Efficacy of metrics for indoor and outdoor listener positions.

sUAS noise characterisation during hovering operations (2024)
Journal Article

A listening experiment has been conducted to... Read More about Investigating the Dose Response of UAS Noise: Designing a Listening Experiment.

Developing a noise and soundscape conceptual framework for fair and equitable distribution of aircraft (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Lavia, L. R., Torija Martinez, A. J., & Clark, C. (2024). Developing a noise and soundscape conceptual framework for fair and equitable distribution of aircraft.

Fair and Equitable Distribution (FED) of aircraft, was introduced in 2015 as an aspirational objective by communities affected by aircraft noise from Gatwick Airport, the third-busiest airport by total passenger traffic in the UK. This paper present... Read More about Developing a noise and soundscape conceptual framework for fair and equitable distribution of aircraft.
