These could dramatically improve the throttle command response of the aircraft and make the aircraft far quieter on departure and approach. Civil aviation is one of the most annoying hobbies that anyone has ever conceived, from the perspective of people who live near airfields. If this tech opens up the possibility of living near and airfield but not having to put up with the sound of private pilots coming and going all day long in Korean-War-era airplanes, that would be nice for those people. |

Things more annoying than airplane noise: * People who voluntarily choose to live near airports (which predictably have associated airplane noise), then complain about it. * The ubiquitous, intentionally loud motorcycles (at closest approach, much louder than any small airplane, due to power law d^-2), which all get a free pass for some bizarre cultural reason, and are largely inescapable.
Some of the airplane noise perception problem is jealousy, and is easy to fix: go down to the airport, chat someone up, and they'll give you a ride.
