DroneNoise: Addressing Public Health and Wellbeing Harms for a Sustainable Drone Sector

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...

Aerodynamic and aeroacoustic design of electric ducted fans (2024)
Journal Article

This paper describes the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic design of an electric ducted fan (EDF). A prototype EDF was designed and built with three different rotor-stator sets to operate at design flow coefficients... Read More about Aerodynamic and aeroacoustic design of electric ducted fans.

Aerodynamics and Acoustics of Asymmetric Propellers With Uneven Blade Spacing (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.
