Acoustic investigation of the engine-over-the-wing concept using a D-shaped nozzle

Small-model experiments were conducted of the engine-over-the-wing concept using a D-shaped nozzle in order to determine the static-lift and acoustic characteristics at two wing-flap positions. Configurations were tested with the flow attached and unattached to the upper surface of the flaps. Attachment was obtained with a nozzle flow deflector. In both cases, high frequency noise shielding by the wing was obtained. Configurations using the D-shaped nozzle are compared with corresponding ones using a circular nozzle. With flow attached to the flaps, the static lift and acoustic results are almost the same for both nozzles. Without the nozzle flow deflector, (unattached flap flow), the D-nozzle is considerably noisier than a circular nozzle in the low and middle frequencies.

Flap noise prediction method for a powered lift system

A method is presented for estimating the noise generated by deflection of the engine exhaust for under-the-wing and over-the-wing versions of an externally blown flap configuration for powered lift. Correlation equations and curves are given for the overall sound pressure level and directivity and for spectra scaled to a high bypass 25,000-pound thrust size engine. Data are taken from TF34 engine tests and from large cold flow model tests. The correlations are empirical, and thus application of this prediction procedure is limited to geometrically similar configurations. Application of the method is illustrated by calculated sample footprints.

Acoustic results obtained with upper-surface-blowing lift-augmentation systems.

The noise caused by the interaction of the jet exhaust and a wing was measured under static conditions for several versions of a small-scale STOL engine-over-the-wing configuration. Three basic nozzles were used in the tests; a circular nozzle, a 5:1 aspect ratio slot nozzle, and a 10:1 aspect ratio slot nozzle. Various flow attachment devices were included in the study. The wing included a flap that could be positioned for nominal takeoff or approach flap settings. Far field noise data are presented for the flyover mode. The data are discussed in terms of sound power and sound pressure spectra.

Preliminary noise tests of the engine-over-the-wing concept. 2: 10 deg - 20 deg flap position

Preliminary acoustic tests of the engine-over-the-wing concept as a method for reducing the aerodynamic noise created by conventional and short takeoff aircraft are discussed. Tests were conducted with a small wing section model having two flaps which can be set for either the landing or takeoff positions. Data was acquired with the flaps set at 10 degrees and 20 degrees for takeoff and 30 and 60 degrees for landing. The engine exhaust was simulated by an air jet from a convergent nozzle. Far field noise data are presented for nominal pressure ratios of 1.25, 1.4 and 1.7 for both the flyover and sideline modes.

Preliminary noise tests of the engine-over-the-wing concept. i: 30 deg - 60 deg flap position

The results of preliminary acoustic tests of the engine over the wing concept are summarized. The tests were conducted with a small wing section model (32 cm chord) having two flaps set at the landing position, which is 30 and 60 deg respectively. The engine exhaust was simulated by an air jet from a convergent nozzle having a nominal diameter of 5.1 centimeters. Factors investigated for their effect on noise include nozzle location, wing shielding, flap leakage, nozzle shape, exhaust deflectors, and internally generated exhaust noise.

The data are discussed in terms of sound power and sound pressure spectra. Implications of extending the small-scale model acoustic data to full-scale aircraft are discussed briefly and indicate a sizeable flyover noise attenuation may be achieved due to shielding by the wing.

Flap noise measurements for STOL configurations using external upper surface blowing

Screening tests of upper surface blowing on externally blown flaps configurations were conducted. Noise and turning effectiveness data were obtained with small-scale, engine-over-the-wing models. One large model was tested to determine scale effects. Nozzle types included circular, slot, D-shaped, and multilobed. Tests were made with and without flow attachment devices. For STOL applications the particular multilobed mixer and the D-shaped nozzles tested were found to offer little or no noise advantage over the round convergent nozzle. High aspect ratio slot nozzles provided the quietest configurations. In general, upper surface blowing was quieter than lower surface blowing for equivalent EBF models.

EBF noise tests with engine under-the-wing and over-the-wing configurations

Noise tests of externally blown flaps with the engine under the wing and engine over the wing configurations were conducted. Flap noise data obtained on a TF-34 aircraft are discussed. Noise data obtained during a free-jet forward-speed-effect analysis are presented. Noise sources associated with upper surface flap blowing are described. Results of a small scale configuration screening study and some large scale model test data are analyzed. The noise data for the engine over wing configurations are compared with the engine under the wing configurations.
