Acoustics Technical Working Group and UAM Noise Working Group Proceedings

Abstract

The NASA Acoustics Technical Working Group Meeting originally started as a program planning meeting in 1992 and has grown through the years. The purpose of these biannual meetings is to foster communication and collaboration among NASA researchers and their university, industry, and government colleagues on activities and work of current and future mutual interest. The NASA-led Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Noise Working Group (UNWG) Meeting began in 2018 as a one-day meeting immediately following the Acoustics Technical Working Group Meeting. The UNWG utilizes four subgroups that conduct regular meetings throughout the year to focus on challenges facing UAM vehicles for community noise and acceptance. The four subgroups coordinate research for development of noise prediction tools/noise reduction technologies, ground and flight test methods, human response and metrics, and regulations and policy (led by the FAA). This work is a compilation of the presentations given at ATWG/UNWG Fall 2022 held in person and via Teams at NASA Glenn Research Center. All NASA content was previously submitted through STRIVES for public presentation. This is merely a compilation. Non-NASA content has permission to distribute.
