ACOUSTICAL EVALUATION OF F-102 PRODUCTION SILENCER CONVAIR, SAN DIEGO

Abstract

The F-102 production silencer enclosure at Convair-San Diego has been evaluated acoustically. This silencer is similar to a turbojet engine test cell, but is designed to enclose a complete aircraft. Measurements of sound pressure level in and around the silencer are reported, and the noise reductions of the various elements of the acoustical treatment, as well as the noise reduction of the silencer as a whole, are determined. The results indicate that the average insertion-loss noise reduction of the silencer at 250 feet increases from about 20 db in the 20-75 cps band to somewhat greater than 50 db for all frequencies above 300 cps.
