Abstract
Aircraft noise has been an issue since for the US Air Force since World-War I. The early days of flight had noise issues that were specific to reciprocating engines and propellers. The advent of the jet engine in the 1940s changed the noise issues and focus dramatically. The jet noise problem was first addressed in the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) by Henning von Gierke and has continued until today with the development of more powerful fifth-generation fighter jet engines. This presentation will focus on the role of AFRL in noise issues with jet aircraft from the early days until now, and how that noise impacted people and communities; the research that fostered noise reductions; noise from current aircraft; the problems and issues that have persisted with jet noise; and some thoughts for future research.
