Ground Run-Up Noise Control Facilities for Civil Aircraft - A Survey,
Abstract
This survey of existing ground run-up suppressors and barriers for civil aircraft includes a review of acoustical, aerodynamical, and mechanical effects associated with facilities in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Evaluations were made of each suppressor based upon published and unpublished reports; and supplemented where necessary by direct questionnaires to the operators, designers, and users of the facilities. Acoustical data where available have been compiled for near and far field points at all directions from aircraft heading. Aerodynamic and mechanical effects on airframe and engine performance during run-up have been identified in terms of exhaust gas reingestion, engine or airframe damage, or restrictions on facility operation. The potential for standards development is discussed with respect to available information with recommendations for additional studies needed before such standards could be promulgated. Summary tables are included in the text for ease in comparison of data type and availability. Data sheets for each facility are included in an appendix. (Author)
