ACOUSTIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR URBAN AIR MOBILITY VEHICLES
An acoustic system for an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicle may comprise: a first shroud configured to be disposed around a rotor of the UAM vehicle, the first shroud comprising: a radially inner wall configured to be spaced radially outward from a blade tip of a rotary blade of the rotor, the radially inner wall including a perforated portion; and a hollow chamber defined by an internal surface of the first shroud and the radially inner wall.
Resistive Skin Element for an Acoustic Panel Intended for an Aircraft
A resistive skin element for an acoustic panel intended for an aircraft includes a first ply, a second ply with openings and a wire mesh which is sandwiched between the two plies. First ply includes at least one layer made of C/PEAK and a film made of PEI. Second ply includes at least one layer made of PEI First ply is crossed by perforations. Second ply has openings configured so that second ply does not obstruct the perforations of first ply. The wire mesh allows perforations with large sizes to be made while keeping good acoustic properties.

Wall covering panel for an aircraft with integrated insulation
A wall covering panel for a nose of an aircraft. The panel comprises a rigid carrying framework preferably having an alveolar structure obtained by 3-D printing, a décor carried by the carrying framework and an acoustically and thermally insulating padding fixed to the carrying framework, and also attachments for fixing the carrying framework to the primary structure of the aircraft. Preferably, the panel also integrates systems, such as electrical route portions or ventilation route portions that traverse the panel from one side to the other or lead to an outlet equipment item also integrated in the panel. Only the carrying structure of the panel, which carries the décor, the insulating padding and any route portions and equipment items, is fixed to the primary structure of the aircraft. The number of attachments is low; the kitting-out and the finishing of the nose of the aircraft are greatly simplified.

Deployable noise shield panels
Technologies for providing noise shielding are described herein. In some examples, noise shields are installed proximate to one or more of the main engines of the aircraft. The noise shields can be extended during terminal operations and retracted during flight operations.

Acoustic panel core with multi-material and/or multi-layered construction
An acoustic panel is provided that includes a perforated first skin, a second skin and a corrugated structure. The corrugated structure is between and is connected to the perforated first skin and the second skin. The corrugated structure includes a first baffle, a first septum, first material and second material that is configured with the first material. The first baffle is formed by an uninterrupted portion of the first material. The first septum is formed by a portion of the second material that is exposed through an interruption in the first material.

NOISE ATTENUATING DEVICE TO REDUCE NOISE GENERATED BY AN OPENING IN A SKIN OF AN AIRCRAFT
A noise attenuating device for reducing acoustic resonance in a cavity of an aircraft with an opening in a skin of the aircraft defining a first surface area and an opening peripheral edge includes a connection mechanism for securing the noise attenuating device in proximity to the opening in the skin of the aircraft and an exterior surface. The exterior surface defines a second surface area that is less than the first surface area of the opening and a device peripheral edge, which has a first section having an edge profile complimentary to at least a portion of the opening peripheral edge and a second section having an indented edge profile in relation to the first section such that when the noise attenuating device is secured within the opening, at least one gap is formed between the device peripheral edge and the opening peripheral edge.
