NASA Super Computers Aim At Aircraft Noise

3

On an airliner, engines are a source of noise heard on the ground, but so is airflow over landing gear, flaps and slats. Using massive supercomputers to model airflow, NASA is seeking ways to reduce such noise. This AVweb video explains the project.

  1. First, is all this research time & money for the benefit/comfort of the pax?
    surely not folks on the ground.
    Really, is the gear down noise the most bothersome of your trip?
    Comments please.
