Main_Body_Multi: AVT-233 Research Task Group (RTG) on “Aeroacoustics of Engine Installation for Military Air Vehicles”, Technical Report published on STO Website


Military Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAV) systems have to be very low observable during operations such as surveillance missions. One important aspect of observability is low noise. In this regard, design methods to minimize noise output of military air vehicles need to be improved. A better understanding of noise profiles of relevant aircraft geometries and validated acoustic prediction methods will help achieve this goal. The AVT-233 Task Group executed a comprehensive research program to identify appropriate acoustic prediction methods and provide the fundamentals for new design tools to address the important aspects of low noise military aircraft. For this purpose, the group successfully conducted a comprehensive set of related aeroacoustic shielding tests to establish a database for the validation of acoustic prediction codes. The outcome of the measurements showed remarkable results and provided the essentials to continue towards more realistic low noise aircraft design. The full scientific work of this task group has been recently published on the STO Publications Website. For further information, please contact the AVT Panel Office.
