  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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    The Port Authority operates a live online map that monitors aircraft noise traffic and the number of flights in the sky at any given moment. Airplanes near Teterboro were ranging decibels between ...

  6. Silent Aircraft Initiative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Aircraft_Initiative

    A major part of the study was to develop jetliner and engine designs that could meet the SAI objectives. The favoured hull configuration was a blended wing design, with the engines located on the upper surface of the wing, to shield ground observers from the engine noise. Because the blended wing is too shallow to accommodate twin engines, a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_liner

    Acoustic liners at the intake of a jet engine A composite sandwich acoustic liner (A) with perforate face-sheet (B) honeycomb core (C) and back-skin (D). Aircraft engines, typically turbofans, use acoustic liners to damp engine noise.

  9. Aircraft engine performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_performance

    Aircraft engine performance refers to factors including thrust or shaft power for fuel consumed, weight, cost, outside dimensions and life. It includes meeting regulated environmental limits which apply to emissions of noise and chemical pollutants, and regulated safety aspects which require a design that can safely tolerate environmental hazards such as birds, rain, hail and icing conditions.
