Simplified eVTOL aeroacoustic assays – Semi-anechoic chamber assay
Description: The project aims to perform noise measurements of simplified models of eVTOL type aircraft. The tests are conducted in the semi-anechoic chamber of the Laboratory of Vibrations and Acoustics. The current setup allows for tests with insulated propellers, covering ranges of propeller diameters and typical application rotation speeds for small drones. New bench configurations are under development to assess the helix installation effect and the effect of acoustic interaction of multiple rotors.
