What is it about?
This article presents an optimization study of the noise produced by rotors in the context of Urban Air Mobility. Provided that rotors constitute a major part of the noise produced by this aviation segment, given the fact that the aircraft are intended to be fully electric, the design of these components is of paramount importance for noise minimization.

Why is it important?
The increase in urbanization lead to Urban Air Mobility being a proposed alternative to the classic means of transportation. This proposed implementation majorly depends on the ability to minimize the noise generated by vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
Perspectives
Writing this article gave me a great pleasure since not only was I able to work with people I have a deep admiration within the area, but also since I truly believe this is a major topic concerning the means of transportation of the cities of the future.
