NOISE EMISSIONS AND BUILDING STRUCTURAL VIBRATION LEVELS FROM THE SUPERSONIC CONCORDE AND SUBSONIC TURBOJET AIRCRAFT

Noise emissions and building structural vibration levels were measured during landing and take off operations of the Anglo/French supersonic aircraft (Concorde) and from some conventional subsonic turbojet aircraft. Measurements were made at both the Fairbanks International Airport, Fairbanks, Alaska and at the Logan International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts. This report contains graphic level time history recordings, tabulated peak RMS noise and vibration levels measured, EPNL/PNLT history data, and 1/3 octave frequency spectra of selected events.
