UNSW Aviation was proud to be a Gold Sponsor of the Symposium on the Future of Drone Noise Management and Regulation, held last month in Adelaide. Co-organised by Hon Assoc Prof Marion Burgess (UNSW) and Prof Antonio Torija Martinez (University of Salford), the event brought together industry, government and research experts from around the world to explore the challenges and opportunities of managing noise from emerging drone technologies.
With strong international participation and support from leading acoustics organisations, discussions focused on current and future approaches to drone noise regulation, including commercial drone operations, advanced air mobility and VTOL aircraft. The symposium concluded with collaborative discussions towards developing a consensus framework to guide effective drone noise management in the years ahead.
