How do flight operations and ambient acoustic environments influence noticeability and noise annoyance associated with unmanned aircraft systems? (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In advance of anticipated wider deployments of advanced air mobility technology, the potential effects of introducing new sound sources such as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS, aka ‘drones’) on communities are largely unknown. To support the developme... Read More about How do flight operations and ambient acoustic environments influence noticeability and noise annoyance associated with unmanned aircraft systems?.

Comparing the Human Response of Unmanned Aircraft System Noise and Other Transportation Noise (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An experiment was designed to investigate the perception of noise from different Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) alongside three other vehicle types, including road traffic, conven tional aircraft, and helicopters. The aim of this experiment was to un... Read More about Comparing the Human Response of Unmanned Aircraft System Noise and Other Transportation Noise.

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...
