Pilot workload during approaches: comparison of simulated standard and noise-abatement profiles.

30 Mar 2009 INTRODUCTION: A new noise-reduced landing approach was tested--a Segmented Continuous Descent Approach (SCDA)-with regard to the resulting workload on pilots. METHODS: Workload of 40 pilots was measured using physiological (heart rate, blood ... Read more...

Demonstration of a wireless, self-powered, electroacoustic liner system.

30 Jan 2009 This paper demonstrates the system operation of a self-powered active liner for the suppression of aircraft engine noise. The fundamental element of the active liner system is an electromechanical Helmholtz resonator (EMHR), which consists of a ... Read more...

Development of an analytical solution of modified Biot's equations for the optimization of lightweight acoustic protection.

30 Jan 2009 During lift-off, space launchers are submitted to high-level of acoustic loads, which may damage sensitive equipments. A special acoustic absorber has been previously integrated inside the fairing of space launchers to protect the payload. A new ... Read more...
