How do drone weight & flight patterns affect how we hear them? 🚁🔊 A new #RefMap study finds heavier drones & take-off/landing phases produce rougher, more impulsive sounds—explaining higher annoyance levels. Read more: doi.org/10.2514/6.20...

🌍✈️ How can we plan climate-optimized aircraft trajectories despite uncertainty over non-CO₂ effects? Contrails, NOx, soot, and water vapour can sometimes contribute as much or more to short-term warming than CO₂ itself. (1/3)

Drone noise isn’t just about loudness — sharpness, tonality & fluctuations make it more annoying than cars or planes. A recent review by RefMap researchers maps progress on measuring UAM noise & highlights key gaps, pointing the way toward more effective measurement and regulation.

We ended Day 1 with networking opportunities 🤝 accompanied by beautiful rooftop views 🏛️. Thanks to everyone who brought their energy, expertise, and optimism. #AviationTwinTransition

From AI-powered emissions tools to seaplane insights, today’s panels covered ground and sky🛩️🌊. #AviationTwinTransition

Innovation meets collaboration in Athens Day 1 of the #AviationTwinTransition brought the full family of EU projects together to explore digital twins, AI tools, drone acceptance & more. Synergies were real—Day 2 starts tomorrow 🚁🤝🌍 #RefMAP #ImAFUSA

Digital leadership isn’t just about tech, it’s about applying innovation to real challenges. 🔹 Sotiris Xydis demoed the RefMAP platform 🔹 Fateme Baneshi on AI for climate-smart air traffic 🔹 Milan Rollo on drone acceptance modelling 🔹 Prajwal Prakasha shared Colossus results #AviationTwinTransition
