TLDR
The analytical certification noise predictions of a notional, long haul, commercial quadjet transport with advanced, high bypass engines mounted above the wing with noise shielding benefits to observers on the ground are described.Abstract:
As we look to the future, increasingly stringent civilian aviation noise regulations will require the design and manufacture of extremely quiet commercial aircraft. Indeed, the noise goal for NASA's Aeronautics Enterprise calls for technologies that will help to provide a 20 EPNdB reduction relative to today's levels by the year 2022. Further, the large fan diameters of modem, increasingly higher bypass ratio engines pose a significant packaging and aircraft installation challenge. One design approach that addresses both of these challenges is to mount the engines above the wing. In addition to allowing the performance trend towards large, ultra high bypass ratio cycles to continue, this over-the-wing design is believed to offer noise shielding benefits to observers on the ground. This paper describes the analytical certification noise predictions of a notional, long haul, commercial quadjet transport with advanced, high bypass engines mounted above the wing.read more

Empennage Noise Shielding Benefits for an Open Rotor Transport
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on predicting the noise certification benefits of a notional open rotor aircraft with tail structures shielding a portion of the rotor noise, and the measured noise of an open rotor test article is used to validate NASA s reliance on acoustic shielding to achieve the second phase of community noise reduction goals.

The Low-Noise Potential of Distributed Propulsion on a Catamaran Aircraft
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Fast Scattering Code (FSC) to predict noise levels on and about an inboard-wing catamaran aircraft, and demonstrated that a large acoustic benefit could be achieved by combining distributed propulsion and liner technology with a twin-fuselage planform.

Experimental investigation of the far-field noise due to jet-surface interaction combined with a chevron nozzle
TL;DR: In this article, the combined effect of a flat plate integrated with nozzles, both with and without chevrons, exhausting cold subsonic jets was investigated, and it was observed that the acoustic benefit of chevron, as found in isolated jets, remains effective in most of installed configurations.

Community Noise Impact on the Conceptual Design of Innovative Aircraft Configurations
TL;DR: In this paper, a parametric study of conceptual design based on life-cycle costs is presented, with the cost of noise used as a varying parameter, with applications to the optimization of innovative configurations, such as the box-wing configuration (Prantl-Plane) proposed by Frediani.
