AN analysis of jet engine noise as a function of jet engine design characteristics is presented in this paper along with some thoughts as to possible means for reducing the noise of jet transports for the future.
The authors present a summary of (a) scale-model noise work, (b) full-scale jet engine noise measurements in test cells and free field, and (c) a discussion of information gleaned from comparisons of scale-model work with full-scale engine work.
This paper received the Wright Brothers Medal for 1954.
