Recently, as UAM has been in the spotlight worldwide, the issue of aerodynamic noise generated from propellers has emerged. Therefore, changes in thrust and aerodynamic noise were compared while changing the propeller lay-out distance. The designed propeller model was analyzed using ANSYS Fluent, a CFD software. Based on steady-state analysis, transient analysis was performed, and SPL was calculated using the FW-H noise model. Based on the standard propeller lay-out distance of 0.1 R (0.12 mm), 5 cases from 0.2 R to 0.6 R were compared with the reference model at equal intervals of 0.1 R. The thrust increased by up to 3.5% as the propeller distance increased. In most listeners positioned to measure SPL, noise was reduced by 0.07-0.7% in the improved model compared to the reference model due to reduction in local vorticity. However, because pressure fluctuation due to the increase in thrust and high SPL in the low-frequency region were measured, noise increased by 0.6% to 3.5% in some listeners. Increasing the propeller distance enhances thrust performance, but inevitably increases noise due to pressure fluctuations and SPL in the low-frequency region. Therefore, strict analysis of noise prediction according to a specific frequency and various design shapes are needed.
