NASA ULI: UAM in real environments
Safe, Low-Noise Operation of UAM in Urban Canyons via Integration of Gust Outcomes and Trim Optimization
The objective of this research is to address fundamental knowledge gaps related to multirotor performance and noise that are critical to enable UAM (Urban Air Mobility) operation in an urban setting. The gaps define three technical challenges addressed by the proposed research:
- The effect of urban flows on UAM performance and noise.
- The effect of UAM trim state on performance and noise.
- The impact of noise as a metric in UAM urban path planning.
