Quiet Drones 2024
Quiet Drones is a symposium focused on all aspects of noise and acoustics from Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS, also known as ‘drones’) and VTOLs (i.e., ‘flying taxis’).
Quiet Drones 2024 is organised by the University of Salford (UK) and will present methods under development for establishing measurement standards on noise from UAS and VTOLs, as well as new metrics to characterise the impact of their noise on people and the environment. The symposium will explain recent advances in the study of noise generation and control at its source as well as propagation in different flying conditions and environments. Acoustic tools for the detection and identification of drones will be presented as well as drone audition methods for search and rescue. Lastly, public acceptance of the noise of delivery UAS as well as of air taxis in European cities and the rest of the world will be discussed.
