How do drone weight & flight patterns affect how we hear them? 🚁🔊 A new #RefMap study finds heavier drones & take-off/landing phases produce rougher, more impulsive sounds—explaining higher annoyance levels. Read more: doi.org/10.2514/6.2024-3235

🌍✈️ How can we plan climate-optimized aircraft trajectories despite uncertainty over non-CO₂ effects? Contrails, NOx, soot, and water vapour can sometimes contribute as much or more to short-term warming than CO₂ itself. (1/3)

Drone noise isn’t just about loudness — sharpness, tonality & fluctuations make it more annoying than cars or planes. A recent review by RefMap researchers maps progress on measuring UAM noise & highlights key gaps. Quieter skies need better answers.
