posted on 2017-10-25, 14:57 authored by Darren P. RhodesEnvironmental factors, such as noise and emissions have begun to play a significant
role in the design of new aircraft. Although advances in propulsion technology have
reduced source noise levels significantly over the past few decades, it is becoming
increasingly difficult to project similar advances for the next few decades. It is likely
however that some noise benefits may come from improvements in aircraft
performance and from changes in operational procedures. In order for such
developments to be analysed at the conceptual design stage, an integrated conceptual
aircraft design and aircraft noise model is required that enables the designer to rapidly
assess the effect of key design parameters on reference noise levels and noise contour
area. [Continues.]
