A 1/3 scale model static test program was conducted to measure the noise levels and reverse thrust performance characteristics of a wing-mounted thrust reverser that could he used on an advanced augmentor wing airplane. The configuration tested represents only the most fundamental designs where installation and packaging restraints are not considered. The thrust reverser performance is presented in terms of horizontal, vertical, and resultant effectiveness ratios and the reverser noise is compared on the basis of peak perceived noise level (PNL) and one-third octave band data (OASPL). From an analysis of the model force and acoustic data, an assessment is made on the stopping distance versus noise for a 90 900 kg (200 000 lb) airplane using this type of thrust reverser.
