A new software tool called AIRNOISEUAM is introduced that models the noise exposure of
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operations. Given relevant UAM aircraft performance models,
mission profiles, and Noise-Power-Distance data, AIRNOISEUAM predicts the noise exposure
footprint for receptors on the ground. The performance of AIRNOISEUAM using a Robinson
R66 helicopter model and a six-passenger quadrotor model, and a diverse set of scenarios from
NASA’s UAM human-in-the-loop simulations is compared to that of the industry-standard tool
with the same inputs. The predicted noise exposure results from both tools are found to be
nearly identical. AIRNOISEUAM offers a fast-time, flexible interface and modular design to
facilitate the dynamic requirements of the aviation research community. |
