Experimental and numerical noise assessment of distributed propulsion configurations

Topic description

Specific Challenge:

This thematic topic focuses on the assessment of noise reduction opportunities associated to new aircraft configurations, more specifically those related to electrically driven propulsors.
The expected project outcome is to deliver an improved understanding of key noise aspects involved in such distributed electric propulsion (DEP) configurations, at experimental and numerical level. This will enable an initial assessment of the overall noise level achievable for typical DEP options including the evaluation of key noise contributors and efficiency of their respective mitigation means.
