This report presents a review of literature on noise emissions from eVTOL aircraft. The outcome of the review is the provision of suitable data to support the development of a CAA noise modelling capability for UAS operations. Information obtained from the review will also inform CAA guidance to assist airspace change sponsors with noise assessments for their UAS activities.
Although the term eVTOL is now in common use to describe passenger-carrying Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft, it was used as an umbrella term in this report to describe any type of electric propulsion aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing, including Unmanned Aviation Systems (UAS) which are often referred to as drones.
