NOISE LEVELS OF JET TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT DURING INITIAL CLIMB
This report contains noise peak level data measured for 27 jet transport departure flights at minimum slant range distances of between 305m and 1830m. The noise data, in D-weighted sound levels, dB(D), were obtained by analysis of noise history tape recordings each of which was accompanied by a photographic record of the flight track. Propagation laws, relating peak sound level and minimum slant range, are derived for ten different aircraft types and for two categorised groupings (2-engined turbofan and 4-engined turbofan aircraft). Directivity properties of the D-weighted sound level of selected aircraft are also derived from the sound history and photographic records.
