Abstract:

Flyover noise measurements are evaluated for four different military jet aircraft types flying at low altitudes. Flight Mach numbers ranged from 0.5 to 0.9. The analysis shows that noise immission is caused by jet mixing and broadband shock associated noise. Based on the experimental results existing noise prediction schemes are extended toward higher subsonic flight Mach numbers. The novel prediction schemes describe the observed acoustic signatures quite accurately. This holds for the overall sound pressure level in dependence of the emission angle, for sound-pressure level time histories and for one-third-octave spectra.
