Rotary-Wing Aircraft Noise Measurements: Analysis of Variations and Proposed Measurement Standard

摘要

The Army Installation Compatible Use Zone (ICUZ) Program seeks to safeguard Army Installation operational capability. As part of ICUZ, helicopter noise is assessed using a computerized model developed by the U.S. Air Force and modified by the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (USA-CERL) for rotary-wing aircraft use. Helicopter source emissions data are required as input to this model. This report explores the statistical variations in helicopter source emissions characterization and recommends a draft measurement standard designed to minimize the effects of these variations (Author)
