Empirical Prediction of Aircraft Landing Gear Noise

This report documents a semi-empirical/semi-analytical method for landing gear noise prediction. The method is based on scaling laws of the theory of aerodynamic noise generation and correlation of these scaling laws with current available test data. The former gives the method a sound theoretical foundation and the latter quantitatively determines the relations between the parameters of the landing gear assembly and the far field noise, enabling practical predictions of aircraft landing gear noise, both for parametric trends and for absolute noise levels. The prediction model is validated by wind tunnel test data for an isolated Boeing 737 landing gear and by flight data for the Boeing 777 airplane. In both cases, the predictions agree well with data, both in parametric trends and in absolute noise levels.

Airframe Noise Sub-Component Definition and Model

Both in-house, and jointly with NASA under the Advanced Subsonic Transport (AST) program, Boeing Commerical Aircraft Company (BCA) had begun work on systematically identifying specific components of noise responsible for total airframe noise generation and applying the knowledge gained towards the creation of a model for airframe noise prediction. This report documents the continuation of the collection of database from model-scale and full-scale airframe noise measurements to compliment the earlier existing databases, the development of the subcomponent models and the generation of a new empirical prediction code. The airframe subcomponent data includes measurements from aircraft ranging in size from a Boeing 737 to aircraft larger than a Boeing 747 aircraft. These results provide the continuity to evaluate the technology developed under the AST program consistent with the guidelines set forth in NASA CR-198298.
