R&D case: Aircraft Noise Reduction Technologies and Related Environmental Impact (ARTEM)
The challenge In recent years, improving energy efficiency (i.e. fuel consumption) and emission reduction have led to increased engine sizes and bypass ratios. These modifications create a crucial noise issue due to the emission of low-frequency noise and the size and effectiveness limitations of the current noise-absorbing structures (liners). The solution This project explored innovative […]
