Background New aerospace concepts such as Urban Air Mobility (UAM) will introduce air taxis and delivery drones into densely populated urban environments. These technologies promise more sustainable and efficient transport while helping to reduce congestion. NLR and TU/e expect UAM operations to become a reality within the next decade. Unlike conventional aircraft, UAM vehicles are expected to operate at lower altitudes and closer to residential areas, potentially exposing many more people to aircraft noise in their daily living environment. However, little is known about how people will experience these new sources of noise in complex urban settings. Current aircraft noise propagation models assume free-field sound propagation and therefore cannot adequately account for the influence of buildings and other urban structures on the perceived sound environment. New scientific research is therefore urgently needed to understand, predict, and ultimately mitigate the impact of UAM noise on people. The aim of this research is to improve our understanding of the propagation UAM noise in urban environments, and to enable perception studies of UAM noise in cities via auralization. A key scientific challenge is to accurately model both sound propagation in urban environments. The outcomes of this research will help shape future noise assessment, mitigation strategies, and regulations for safe and socially acceptable UAM operations. Project description To address these challenges, you will develop and validate a next-generation noise propagation model that predicts the frequency-dependent ...
