Ground effect acting on an aerial vehicle, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle, may be simulated by discharging a gas around propeller blades of the aerial vehicle while the propeller blades are rotating. For example, a gas, such as air, may be discharged at or near the tip of the propeller blades with enough velocity to disrupt the airflow around the blade tips, thereby altering the sound generated by rotation of the propeller blade.
