Popis: |
This research examined the feasibility of incorporating an acoustic metric into the optimization of an aircraft trajectory to reduce the noise experienced by an observer. The method investigated a perturbed path of an unmanned aerial system with specified boundary conditions on position and velocity while maintaining a nominal flight speed. An acoustic model based on Gutin’s work was developed to estimate propeller noise as a function of flight parameters, propulsion characteristics, and spatial location. A trajectory was then optimized a priori to reduce the noise experienced by an observer. Multiple simulations were performed and results showed that integrating an acoustic metric into the path planning process could be used to reduce the noise impact on an observer with no perturbation to the nominal flight speed. |
