Abstract

To support the Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology project’s goal of addressing source noise and response for vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, the authors have developed a noise training aid. This training aid depicts the predicted ground noise footprint using a noise algorithm and a flight simulator. This paper describes the implementation of the noise training aid, feedback from potential users on improvements, and future plans that will eventually provide an inflight noise display.
