“…Studies of drone perception, attitudes and acceptance approach the research in different ways and therefore find different things. This includes focusing on different aspects, as would be expected in an emerging field, including individual or multiple use scenarios and focusing on specific issues such as drone related risks (for example [29], or end-user trustworthiness (for example, [31]. Study designs which prompt respondents, for example, by listing concerns or drone uses, position this front of mind for respondents and this can shift the prominence of issues for different groups.…”

“…Prompting respondents on concerns can have the effect of triggering responses. For example, Nelson et al [17] and Eiβfeldt et al's [16] found more familiarity with drones was associated with lower concern, while Komasová et al [29] found those with more experience of drones were more aware of risks.…”

“…Studies show that information provided and knowledge of respondents can both influence answers, though studies demonstrate mixed effects of knowledge. Komasová et al [29] viewed this through the lens of the 'familiarity hypothesis' which implies lower risk expectation and higher approval in more knowledgeable groups and drone users, though they found this does not always follow. They conclude that learning about drones is a non-linear process.…”

“…Firstly, risk perceptions of airports being intentionally targeted by drones are relatively low, with Komasová et al (2020) finding that when asked qualitatively about potential targets for drone attacks, only between 13% (drone non-users) and 17% (drone users) of their participants mentioned aeroplanes or airports; however, when asked specifically about the probability of a drone attack on an airport in Europe in the next two years, 39% (drone non-users) and 48% (drone users) of participants believed that such a scenario was likely or certain *Percentages for airports do not add up to 100% as an airport may be in multiple themes. (Komasová et al 2020). Similarly, Wheeler et al (2020) find that exposing participants to a news story about a drone event reduces willingness to fly in an airliner, with a large effect size.…”

This study examines the public-facing statements that can be found on airport websites related to unmanned aircraft (UA). Data was extracted via manual web scraping from 288 different airports’ official websites across 69 different countries. To be selected, airports had to be one of the 100 busiest airports in terms of passenger numbers in 2017, and/or be one of the IATA slot coordinated and facilitated airports as at 10 November 2020. Manual web scraping was completed by using Google site searches for the keywords “unmanned”, “drone”, and “remotely piloted”. Phrases, sentences and paragraphs containing these keywords were collated for each airport and then thematic analysis was undertaken to identify themes within the data. Surprisingly, this study finds that 143 (49.65%) of the airports have no mention of the keywords on their websites. For those that did have statements, thematic analysis revealed 20 themes, of which the largest three were regulation, ensuring compliance, and enforcement (38.54%, 29.17%, and 25.35% of airports, respectively). There were significant differences in the number of statements overall and within specific themes based upon airport location, however, there were no statistically significant differences based upon how many passengers the airport handles.

“…While public acceptance of UAV operations in urban areas will most certainly depend on many factors, such as safety issues and associated risk perceptions [37][38][39][40], it goes without saying that UAV acoustic characteristics and the community's response thereto (which is currently uncertain) will also play a crucial role. Therefore, more research on human perception and reactions to this novel noise source is needed.…”

Possibilities to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are rapidly growing. With the development of battery technologies, communication, navigation, surveillance, and autonomous systems in general, many UAVs are expected to operate at relatively low altitudes. Thus, the problem of UAV noise impact on human health and well-being will be more pronounced. In this paper, we conducted noise measurements of two UAVs of different performance (quadrotor and hexarotor) in flying up and down, hovering, and overflight procedures. Respondents of good hearing who were confirmed by audiogram measurement and had participated in the survey during UAV noise measurement gave their subjective assessments on the UAV noise perception. UAV noise measurements and subjective respondents’ assessments were analysed and related. UAV noise analysis showed that the parameters measured at the same measurement point for the hexarotor were higher than those for the quadrotor in flying up and down and flying-over procedures. Low frequency noise was present in the noise spectrum of both drones. Participants were able to distinguish between the noise of UAVs and had a generally more negative experience with the hexarotor. Regardless of the noise perception, more than 80% of the respondents believe there are more pros than cons for UAV introduction into everyday life.
