MODELING OF V/STOL NOISE IN CITY STREETS

THE GOALS OF THIS WORK WERE TWO-FOLD. FIRST, TO DEVELOP MODELING TECHNIQUES THAT WILL BE HELPFUL IN STUDYING A VARIETY OF NOISE PROPAGATION PROBLEMS. THESE INVOLVE NOT ONLY AIRCRAFT SOURCES, BUT ALSO SURFACE TRAFFIC (AUTOMOBILES, TRUCKS, AND RAIL VEHICLES) AS WELL. THE SECOND AND MORE NARROW GOAL IS THE APPLICATION OF THESE MODELING TECHNIQUES TO A SPECIFIC PROBLEM, THE PROPAGATION OF V/STOL AIRCRAFT NOISE INTO AN URBAN AREA. /AUTHOR/
