Invitation:
Drones and other small air mobility vehicles are emerging as key players in the future of urban transport. The transition from ground to air transportation is exciting, not least of all because it offers opportunities to reshape urban soundscapes. At the same time, integrating airborne vehicles into city environments presents significant acoustic challenges, especially with respect to propulsion noise and its impact on communities.
This two-day symposium highlights current research and development in the acoustics of urban air mobility. Topics include psychoacoustics, noise source characterization, advanced measurement techniques, and noise mitigation strategies. By bringing together experts from diverse fields, the event underlines the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in shaping quieter and more livable urban environments.
Organized by the DEGA technical committees Aeroacoustics and Physical Acoustics, and hosted by Stefan Schoder, Thomas Geyer and Stefan Jacob, the symposium provides the possibility for knowledge exchange and in-depth discussion. Generous breaks between sessions provide space to encourage dialogue and collaboration.
The organizing team invites everyone with a professional or personal interest in the acoustic challenges and opportunities of urban air mobility to join the symposium.
