Abstract - This study investigates the creation of a new prototype for a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, focusing on overcoming noise reduction challenges. As urban air mobility demands increase, there is a growing need for aviation solutions that are quieter and more environmentally friendly. The research introduces a holistic approach that incorporates advanced structural designs and optimized propulsion methods aimed at lowering sound emissions during key flight stages, such as lift-off, hovering, and descent. Emphasizing both noise reduction and operational efficiency, the design process ensured that the aircraft maintained essential qualities like stability, maneuverability, and fuel efficiency. Controlled testing results indicated that the aircraft was able to substantially reduce noise levels when compared to traditional designs. This was accomplished by strategically positioning propulsion components to minimize noise interference, using lightweight materials that help absorb aerodynamic noise, and incorporating an electric engine for enhanced thrust control, contributing to a quieter and smoother flight experience. The shift to an electric engine not only improved acoustic performance but also reduced environmental impact, supporting the development of more sustainable flight technologies.
The research highlights the possibility of achieving significant noise reduction without compromising flight performance. This advancement offers a promising solution to the noise-related challenges of urban air mobility, facilitating wider acceptance and compliance with regulations. Ultimately, the progress demonstrated by this prototype represents a step toward sustainable aviation that meets the evolving needs for efficient vertical take-off and landing features.
Key Words: Acoustic improvement, electric propulsion, noise reduction, sustainable aviation, urban air mobility.
