Summary:
- NASA is studying how people respond to the noise generated by air taxis, which are small, electric aircraft designed for urban transportation.
- Researchers are conducting experiments to understand how the sound of air taxis affects people's perceptions and acceptability, which is important for the development and integration of these new vehicles into urban environments.
- The findings from this research will help inform the design and operation of air taxis to ensure they are accepted by the public and can be integrated into cities without causing significant noise disturbances.
