Abstract

The authors present a brief review of the preliminary design studies that led to a definition of specifications for a low-noise output turbofan engine for use on long-range subsonic transport aircraft. Data on low-speed fans, with and without acoustic treatment in the fan ducting, indicate that overall noise output of four-engine long-range transport aircraft can be reduced 20 perceived noise decibels by appropriate fan design and the use of nacelle acoustic treatment.
