New Dataset Reveals How Propeller Synchronization Can Reduce UAM Noise

University of Bristol’s aeroacoustic measurements show that noise reduction in Distributed Electric Propulsion can be achieved by adjusting blade phase angles between adjacent propellers.

Electronic synchronization reveals promising strategies to over come one of the biggest hurdles of UAM—community noise. This dataset provides detailed acoustic measurements of synchronized propellers across various phase angles.

The data is available via the NWTF Experimental Database, which offers open access to high-quality wind tunnel datasets from UK aerospace and automotive research.
