The report examines briefly several problems associated with the noise from business jet operations. The business jet fleet is forecast to more than double by 1978 and increase almost five-fold by 1985. More than 80 percent of the current fleet does not meet the noise level requirements of FAR 36 for new type certificated aircraft. Since many of these aircraft operate from airports having little or no air carrier jet operations, at these airports they are the predominant source of noise exposure. If such noise is to be reduced at these non-air carrier facilities, noise from business jet power plants must be reduced. Major growth in the fleet will come with newer aircraft having substantially lower noise characteristics than those of the current fleet due to the introduction of new high bypass fan engines. However, this will not alleviate the noise problems generated by current aircraft. Noise exposure can be significantly reduced if current technology high-bypass engines are retrofitted to all present turbojet-powered aircraft. (Author)
