Motivations and the formulation of the objectives are described for an ambitious flight research test conducted in collaboration between NASA and The Boeing Company. The Propulsion Airframe Aeroacoustics and Aircraft System Noise Flight Research Test was executed by the Boeing ecoDemonstrator Program with an Etihad Airways Boeing 787-10 aircraft. Five key technical approaches are described that were used to accomplish the more unconventional and challenging objectives of the research. In addition to the modern technology of the 787, these include evaluating multiple acoustic shielding and reflection effects using both the wing and fuselage in straight flight and banking flight paths, hardwalling the aft duct liner, and utilizing an extensive instrumentation array both on the ground and on the aircraft. The research level version of NASA’s aircraft system noise prediction capability including a new acoustic scattering method were used to confirm the technical approaches and provide guidance for the detailed design of instrumentation and flight test plans. Initial comparisons are shown of flight test data to predictions using the research level of NASA’s Aircraft Noise Prediction Program. Significant prediction challenges are revealed when compared to these high-quality data, while major progress is shown both in the measurement and the prediction of propulsion airframe aeroacoustic effects in flight. This comparison marks the first rigorous validation with modern flight test data and establishes a basis to further understand and quantify the state of NASA’s current capability and to develop improvements in the fidelity of aircraft system noise predictions. The context of multiple coordinated companion research papers is described as well as future plans for the continued analysis of this flight research data.
