A jet noise test was performed at Niagara Falls International Airport using a Calspan Learjet 25 by acoustics researchers at NASA Glenn Research Center in partnership with Calspan personnel and Uninhabited Aircraft Systems (UAS) pilots and sensor operators from NASA Langley Research Center. To account for atmospheric attenuation in the de-propagation of jet noise from a ground-based microphone array to the source for comparison with model data collected in a facility at NASA GRC, a vertical profile of atmospheric conditions was required. To that end, a sUAS was flown with a weather sensor package measuring atmospheric pressure, humidity, and temperature in a range of altitudes from ground level to 304.8 m (1,000 ft) above ground level (AGL). The sUAS flights were performed concurrently with and adjacent to the Learjet flight path. Data from these UAS flights are presented herein; additionally, comparisons with conventional balloon-borne instrumentation are made with a particular focus on the quality and capability of UAS-based observations for acoustic flight test applications. Furthermore, a ground-based light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system was deployed for collecting wind magnitude and direction for discrete altitudes up to 304.8 m (1,000 ft) AGL. Data from the LiDAR unit will be presented and discussed in the context of aircraft acoustic flight testing. This effort was supported by NASA’s Commercial Supersonic Technology project.
