Aircraft Noise (Cambridge Aerospace Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good overall review of aircraft noise. It is focused on commercial jet aircraft, but it does cover prop and helicopters to a smaller extent. It does not cover in any great detail airport area noise, it focuses on the aircraft and the noise it generates. It was published in 1989 so it is a little out of date, some regulations have been updated since then.

Aircraft Noise traces the origins of this problem to the introduction of the jet engine into the airline fleet in the late 1950s and describes the legal restrictions now placed on the industry. It explains the derivation of the special noise units and assessment scales now used around the world; noise exposure modeling and forecasting; the major sources of aircraft noise and their control; and noise measurement and prediction, including contours. Finally, it offers a forecast for the future and recommends changes to the established legal structures to aid control of the problem into the next century. In addition to reviewing the sociological aspects, Smith offers a broad understanding of the problem of aircraft noise and its control. The book should appeal to a variety of people including professional engineers, local and national government officers, the air transport business community, lawyers, students, community leaders and those who live near airports.
