  2. Jet noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_noise

    The primary sources of jet noise for a high-speed air jet (meaning when the exhaust velocity exceeds about 100 m/s; 360 km/h; 225 mph) are "jet mixing noise" and, for supersonic flow, shock associated noise. Acoustic sources within the "jet pipe" also contribute to the noise, mainly at lower speeds, which include combustion noise, and sounds ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthill's_eighth_power_law

    [1] [2] This is used to calculate the total acoustic power of the jet noise. The law reads as =, where is the acoustic power in the far-field, is the proportionality constant (or Lighthill's constant),

  5. Hush kit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hush_kit

    Rolls-Royce Conway Mk508 (1959) with hush kit attached. The most common form of hush kit is a multi-lobe exhaust mixer.This device is fitted to the rear of the engine and mixes the jet core's exhaust gases with the surrounding air and a small amount of available bypass air.

  6. Aircraft noise pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_noise_pollution

    Noise-generating aircraft propeller. Aircraft noise is noise pollution produced by an aircraft or its components, whether on the ground while parked such as auxiliary power units, while taxiing, on run-up from propeller and jet exhaust, during takeoff, underneath and lateral to departure and arrival paths, over-flying while en route, or during landing.

  7. Aeroacoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroacoustics

    Aeroacoustics is a branch of acoustics that studies noise generation via either turbulent fluid motion or aerodynamic forces interacting with surfaces. Noise generation can also be associated with periodically varying flows. A notable example of this phenomenon is the Aeolian tones produced by wind blowing over fixed objects.

  8. Silent Aircraft Initiative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Aircraft_Initiative

    This gives a less effective exhaust gas velocity (lower jet noise) and therefore lower efficiency, and can be achieved in the landing phase by using a variable area final nozzle to rematch the fan. Furthermore, acoustic treatment in the intake and exhaust ducting can minimize turbomachinery noise.

  9. Environmental impact of aviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    The FAA Stage 5 noise standards are equivalent. [49] Higher bypass ratio engines produce less noise. The PW1000G is presented as 75% quieter than previous engines. [50] Serrated edges or 'chevrons' on the back of the nacelle reduce noise. [51] A Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) is quieter as less noise is produced while the engines are near ...
