Description
EASA has published proposed noise limitations that would apply to the new-generation of electric-powered vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) urban transports. The proposals would cover eVTOL aircraft specifically equipped with multiple, vertical, non-tilting, evenly distributed rotors. The proposed specifications are intended to fill a regulatory gap and use the internationally harmonized noise certification standards applicable to heavy helicopters as a starting point. In addition, a hover noise level has been developed to aid in the assessment of operations in the vicinity of vertiports. Comments on the proposal are due by June 15, 2023.
