Upgrade of the rotorcraft noise model (NORAH)
Current international guidance on aircraft noise modelling is limited to fixed-wing aircraft, thus not covering rotorcraft noise. In the NORAH2 project, rotorcraft noise modelling guidance was issued and implemented in a software prototype. The hemisphere-based approach of the NORAH2 project is suitable for modelling rotorcraft noise of helicopters, as well as noise created by future […]
