NASA conducts acoustic hover test with Moog SureFly

The work is supported by the Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology (RVLT) project of NASA's Advanced Air Vehicles Program. RVLT supports the Advanced Air Mobility ?mission's vision to enable a safe, accessible, and affordable new air transportation system alongside industry partners, community partners, and the Federal Aviation Administration.

Noise levels are a common concern when the public thinks about the anticipated addition of new aircraft, such as air taxis and delivery drones, into the urban airspace.

NASA's Advanced Air Mobility mission is working with private sector developers of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to study the levels of noise ?they make. Moog SureFly is one of those partners.

In the summer of 2022, researchers from NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland traveled to Cincinnati Municipal Airport-- Lunken Field, where they acquired noise data as the Moog SureFly vehicle hovered over an array of 28 ground-level microphones. Glenn researchers will analyze and share the data with Moog.

One focus area of noise research is developing design tools manufacturers can use to reduce noise impacts. The data gathered during this type of testing can be used to improve aircraft design and increase the likelihood of community acceptance where eVTOLs will take off, fly, and land in locations known as vertiports.

NASA to utilize commercially available TerraPoiNT Network for Air Mobility
Sunnyvale CA (SPX) Dec 08, 2022
NextNav (Nasdaq: NN), a leader in next generation GPS, has announced that it has been selected by NASA's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley to deliver PNT services for its urban drone program. Utilizing NextNav's commercially deployed TerraPoiNT network in the San Francisco Bay area, NASA Ames will capture in-flight horizontal and vertical location data to validate drone flight safety at its Mountain View, California, facility. The agreement builds on an existing collaboration between NextNav ... read more
