Urban Air Mobility vehicles are intended to operate near or within large cities, where a significant portion of the public will be exposed to the noise they create. If these vehicles are to become acceptable to the public, designers must be able to manage the amount of noise they generate, and understand the relationship between traditional performance metrics (thrust, efficiency, etc.) and noise. New design tools are needed to meet this challenge. As a first step toward providing these tools, a propeller design toolchain that includes aerodynamic performance, acoustics, and trajectory is developed in this work. This toolchain will be exercised on a hypothetical electric-powered general aviation aircraft, inspired by a previous study.
