Flight Performance and Acoustics of Asymmetric Propellers with Uneven Blade Spacing (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Anexperimental campaign is conducted to characterise the acoustics and flight performance of asymmetric propellers with uneven blade spacing by taking field measurements of an unmanned aerial system in hover. Further, the study compares the acoustics... Read More about Flight Performance and Acoustics of Asymmetric Propellers with Uneven Blade Spacing.

An acoustic and psychoacoustic assessment on the noise control of propellers in distributed propulsion configuration using phase-synchronisation Session: Experimental Techniques (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Distributed electric propulsion is widely recoginised as a promising propulsion configuration for next-generation aerial vehicles, including short-to-medium-haul passenger aircraft and urban air mobility vehicles. The presence of multiple propulsors...

Comparison of the noise perception of conventional aircraft and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for commercial applications is seeing steady growth in numerous sectors as the technology improves and more applications are realised. Whilst research into human response to UAS noise is a relatively new fie... Read More about Comparison of the noise perception of conventional aircraft and Unmanned Aircraft Systems.

Synthesis and Auralisations of Quadcopter Flyovers for Psychoacoustic Assessment. (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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...

Boundary Layer Ingestion Ducted Fan: Aeroacoustic and Psychoacoustic Insights (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.

Acoustic and Psychoacoustic Characterisation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems as a Function of Vehicle Mass and Flight Procedure (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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...
